Conning the Flock: Useless News

Years back in my Major Market News Director’ing days, I saw lots of market research about what people wanted to know about when the news came on. Some of the thought-leaders at the time included the Associated Press and (Frank N.) Magid and Associates -both of which are still around today. Back-when, we learned that … Read More

EU Shoots Archduke Android in WWWeb

We think Google should kill all Android phones in Europe and tell the EU to piss off.  Details follow… If you are a shareholder in Google, how does it feel to have the Hoodlums of Brussel’s (the “sprouts” of socialism) declare themselves to be your new more than equal partners? That’s what most commentary on the … Read More

Trump vs. the Digital Coup Leaders

Since you may be young – and haven’t studied either long wave economics – or history – except to pass a test, perhaps – you may not be laughing at the Digital Mob Rule which appears now on an Internet (and social media) near you. The Constitutional Government of these United States is under attack, … Read More

Just Out: CPI Report

We are always a bit suspicious of the market when we close down like we did Wednesday and then in the pre-open, the futures were pointing to a nearly 200-point rise before the CPI Report came out.  Here’s what it looked like when released in the past few minutes: The Consumer Price Index for All Urban … Read More

Coping: Countercyclical Living

This may seem like a strange topic, but when we get into the hot part of summer its often the best time of the year to go shopping for cold-weather goods. A few idea on how to get the most for your money are implied in this approach which distills down to “Buying when other … Read More

Trump-Bashing Monday

Here we go again, kiddies:  Order in the Court! We are expecting the social media revolutionaries (e.g. the Webolutionaries) to do everything they can to stop president Trump’s Supreme Court pick when it’s announced later today. You see, it looks like there’s NO ONE Trump could name who would keep the radicalized social-media uprising happy.  Let’s … Read More

Uganda Leads World in Tech: Here’s WHY

“Say what?” I’ve been moaning and groaning for several weeks about how America is in a pitched-battle between  the elected “constitutional” government and upstart Digital Mob Rule on the Internet.  (See our Fourth of July graphic here, if you’re not following.) Just yesterday, another HUGE social media manipulation as a woman climbed part of the … Read More

Will the Market “Repeat History?”

Reminder for Peoplenomics subscribers:  Charts-only tomorrow due to the Holiday. I bet you don’t even remember what day of the week the Fourth fell on last year.  I’ll give you a hint:  Tuesday. For serious students of the market – also known as the art of making money with money while sitting on your ass – such … Read More

Media Webolutionary Sucker Punches

In almost Mary Poppins style (“spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down…”) the Left-Wing, Webolution-supporting media are burying a lot of information that is critical to maintaining America’s freedoms for another year or two. Take this election down in Mexico, for example.  A simple Google News search of Mexico election will bring you results … Read More

Markets Muddle; Courting Stupidity

Markets – for now – are not particularly interesting to us. Future’s down 100 :45 before the open. While we dropped below our “line in the sand” of a critical trend channel, the odds are pretty good we will have a decent entry point (for whichever direction) later on. Part of the reason is the … Read More

Death Throes of Globalism?

We have a two part report this morning:  First a look at a possible bounce today (though of small magnitude) and then the update of the Case-Shiller S&P, CoreLogic (and the pizza guy) Housing numbers around 8:15 *(Central). This morning I’d like to share a tiny speck of my work over on the peoplenomics.com side of … Read More

Markets to Drop: Power Tool Shopping?

If you’re the typical American, transfixed in the headlights of a phone tied-up to useless social(ist) “cause media” – this may not worry you much, but it should: The Stock Markets globally are down another one percent (very roughly) overnight.  And, when the US market opens in an hour, or so, we will expect to … Read More

Cyclical Thursday, Summer Rallies?

We begin today with a short review of economic cycles, what this being the first day of summer, and all. There are two kinds of investors:  The pragmatic “mathemetists” (quants) who believe is there aren’t a few arcane math symbols in someone’s forward view of markets, there certainly can’t be any accuracy to the outlook. … Read More
