Out of recognition of my personal dopamine addiction tendency to over-trade a bit, we need to begin with the set-up going into a three-day weekend. This is one I MAY short. Because things will likely be runaway positive next week, or we will slip down the icy slope toward global collapse (and war to follow). … Read More
As the Global brinksmanship continues, some useful thinking about Warstyles is due. While it’s said that “generals fight the last war over again” we see with the recent Party Favors War (PFW) that the guests in the Next War will have a considerably different UX (user-experience) than previous encounters. So much has changed, and more … Read More
Yes, we’re figuring things are going seriously off the rails, and we are holding a (painfully expensive so far) short position against the market going into today. We think it’s way overpriced. Why? (CPI) Well, that’s a good one, ain’t it? We are at an illogical point, even up through the futures this morning before the … Read More
Since the world is freakin’ crazy, it’s easy to find ways to entertain the herd of sheeple. Pro sports is one such tool. I mean, when you think about it, Sports is a HUGE made-up monetization. While there are some values (*teamwork, practice, striving for excellence) most of it can be learned from watching a … Read More
Sheesh. Not a fun week for Ure. Turning 74 this month, I thought the Sun was supposed to come out, not go falling apart on us. And golden years? Pah-leeze! Got up at 3 AM (*brain on fire, couldn’t sleep) Friday morning. Wrote column, futzed around, ate and then my neighbor showed up and in … Read More
At times like this – and the extremely dangerous period from next week through June – managing risk will be of paramount importance. The U.S. economy looks good on paper. But as many have reported recently, it’s actually too good when labor participation doesn’t seem to add up. Toss in holding Social Security and Medicare … Read More
Got up early today for some server work & we’ve managed to shave a little time off server load speeds (memcached on server now). So, if things seem quicker, then yeah, likely are. Markets: “D” or a (1)? It always comes down to this in investing: The market goes to where you think it should … Read More
Wow. Never had this happen before. The internet ate my report. Wrote a dynamite column (aren’t they all?) and WTF? All disappeared. 2 hours of work down the crapper. Controversial stuff this time – odd how that stuff goes bye-bye. Maybe this is just my computer keeping me out of jail, or worse, though… hmm.. … Read More
No, you can’t buy our DreamTuner system – or download the Dream-Steering app. Yet. But this morning we will explain for subscribers how a new combination and some code to link up some off-the-shelf products might allow people to experience mental enhancement. As you will read, the product will be useable in two modes: The … Read More
Although we are able to snipe occasional lunch money in this pig of a stock market, the amount of real Truth out there is getting harder to find. Data! Market futures slipped a bit on this. Meanwhile: Do I believe Labor Department data “Series Id: LNS12000000”? Because if you did believe it, you’d be agreeing … Read More
On the surface, this promises to be a fairly quiet week, data-wise. The news flow is less than inspiring, because the “shoot down” of the Chinese weather or surveillance balloon has turned everyone in Washington into even bigger Buffoons than before. Sounds impossible, we’ll admit. Tomorrow we’ll get a taste of international goods pricing, but remembering … Read More
Ok, sitting down after a day of working on post-storm chores. As you will remember, the ice storm took us almost offline, except that now I understand why a tablet and Starlink are so crucial to people in Ukraine. They work great. Able to look over comments and approve things along with the odd post even … Read More
I didn’t get into this on the Subscriber side this morning (Peoplenomics.com) but the Biden Administration’s inability to deal with something as simple as a high altitude Chinese spy balloon verges on criminal. In fairness, my consigliere points out it was a decision presented to the Biden crew by the military/CIA. The White House went along. “Don’t … Read More
