A number of readers have asked me how to judge an investment in solar power. Today we will take a deep look at solarnomics. However, as you’ll discover, there’s a legal cloud – not so much an accounting issue – that lurks as great peril to solar investors. Yeah, including us. I got “bit” too. … Read More
G2 wandered through at quarter-to-four AM – on his way to “Cheat the Devil out of some Souls” in emergency medicine – some people actually have to work today… “Pretty much how it works, Dad. Looks deceptively easy from the 30-thousand-foot level…” He was referring to a flowchart I’d been pondering: While difficult, it’s not impossible. Review … Read More
A short rap on Mental Topologies is a useful (Big Brain People) prequel today. “Regular” understanding of IQ as a semi-Gaussian normal distribution” among humans is oh so terribly flawed I could just wet myself. See, dimensioning humans (rendering concepts down to 2D) is hopeless Reductionism for the mentally short-changed. Multispectral Humanity becomes apparent as a … Read More
Retail Sales are just out, so let’s depart from drama, disdain delay, and dispense duration… “Advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for March 2023, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $691.7 billion, down 1.0 percent (±0.5 percent) from the previous month, but up … Read More
Earth Time Piling Up: A large cluster of bad ju-ju is presenting its leading edge, just now. We see it across many of our “Seven Systems/Domains” model and it seems the next 60-days will be key to our future. Regardless of your partisan leanings (*they’re mainly a marketing division, anyway) the list of existential challenges … 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
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
Our (soon to be Mars-like) “simmer on” planet continues its escalation toward unthinkable devastation. But seems no one cares. Instead, a higher open for stocks and “normalcy” is ruling the House of Cards. We will get into Markets in a sec. But first, remembering “Must be Present to Win” is an immutable law, we’ll begin … Read More
A little “mood setting” is in order. Too many years as a rock & roll (and country) newscaster doing mainly mornings, teaches music first, then news. Perhaps “Wrap it Up” by Sam & Dave would work? Or, perhaps, the “Long and Winding Road” would be better? Well, to each their own. For us, Abba is more … Read More
The market today will be starting (based on early futures) with a modest upside bias. Which is due after the “downstroke” of the M that we posited earlier. Our outlook continues to expect a major decline in over-priced housing over the next six-months. Not to Be Conspiratorial But… My consigliere and I are both very worried … Read More
This might turn into an “M” week. That is, up at the open today (if futures hold – housing will pop first) but then petering out after the commercials get back from stuffing presents. That may lead to the “downstroke” of the M’s middle around tomorrow and into Thursday. But a pre-holiday frosting rally can’t … Read More
With the WEF promoting their global corporate-communism style agenda – buzz worded as “stakeholder capitalism“ (where corporations extend the evil concepts of the Citizens United case worldwide), the failure of the Ultra Rich con to ramp Covid into Global Governance under corporate auspices failing, the next Big Fear Sell is edging toward nuclear war. Someone’s … Read More
I don’t know where the idea of the “Silver Bullet” came from. Perhaps, it was the Lone Ranger in the youth of Boomers. There was a lot of “silver” in that teevee series. Lemme see: Jay Silver Heels played the BF Tonto. The original masker rode the (high-ho of Hi-Yo, or “Hi ho’”) Silver four-legged vehicle. … Read More
