Another Monday in the Great Game of Life kicks off with a reasonababble writer on the sidelines holding up a stack of Monday cue cards. Tuesday Data Watch We see the Biden administration lobbying of the Federal Reserve ahead of their rate increase decision Wednesday. As Treasury Sec. and former Fed chief Janet Yellen is … Read More
Since both of our reports next week will deal with charts only (holiday), I wanted to share some research that you’ll find very interesting. It’s all arisen out of my latest novel (about 50-pages into the writing part – but life intrudes – often!) “Ancient Children” is its title. The plot involves an exceptional aging … Read More
Oh my God, what a grand Thursday it is. Ure’s back from the Big Bad Ugly Rally we warned was coming and is ready to open a can of whup-ass on some Bulls. See, the thing is, there is very little in the headlines supporting anything near the “Build Back Better” fairytale. Walk with me. Challenger … Read More
Economics today is not the simple sport it may have been at the peak of the Industrialization of the West. Anymore, it’s a multivariate kluge (or stew, if you like) and ongoing battles for supremacy of power. You can skip ahead to the CPI and other data, but hear me out: Part of looking into … Read More
One of the more interesting “games” played in the Options world is to pick the following month’s strikes (option prices) and simply go long – or short – according to what the playah sees ahead. Options expire on the third Friday of the month – which is this week late. When a market is trending strongly … Read More

Of course, these also involve acquiring whole countries (*Taiwan with Australia down the road), so it makes sense … Read More
Not going to spend a lot of time on flowery wordsmithing today. Instead, how about a little more direct – in Ure face – analysis? Game Point Rally As we postulated, Tuesday was the beginning of the market turn around. However, the turn did not hold, so after climbing about a hundred Dow points during … Read More
We call it the Muli-War. A War Over Everything. WOE. It’s clicking into place even now. No longer merely a World War (now passe!) the Multi-War extends into cyberspace, food and water supplies, space, and even the partialverse. Social Media’s in on it…hell, everything is in play. Everyone is winning and losing – all in … Read More
Short for “Operations Tempo” it’s the kind of thing military commanders coordinate. One flank moves at a certain speed while another moves at something else. Between, an enemy is “herded” into a disadvantageous position. In markets, there is an OPTEMPO, as well. Sometimes sector moves are fast, or at other times, painfully slow. This morning … Read More
Right out of the chute this morning, we have to take a look at the new import and export prices report. They show a nearly remarkable change in our position as the world’s leading grifter. The U.S. dollar – while down from near parity with the Euro a couple of weeks back – is still very … Read More
According to the new inflation numbers out this week, the inflation rate was “unchanged” in the latest reporting period. (Month on month.) Not according to our grocery bills – and I expect yours, either. In fact, inflation mainly moderated at the gas pumps. Which, in turn was only because of some short-term relief from taxes … Read More
The Corporate-Government alliances now ruling three major global factions in the world continued to chalk up power Monday. As we reported to our Peoplenomics.com subscribers, part of what’s going on is China has it out for Donald Trump.
