No, this is not a doomporn piece. Rather, it’s a sober look at where certain indicators are pointing from now through year-end and into 2022. We will walk through it step-wise this morning and see what – if anything – can be done to profit from it. Save making a little scratch which may not … Read More
There is not a lot of real news this morning, at least in the headlines. Besides the mainstream media making fools of ’emselves with this Rittenhouse Roulette nonsense. Used to be in America, we embraced process (including jury trials) because (write this down and review daily) process is your friend. Even if you move overseas. Like some … Read More
We will try to be brief because of some AMAZING woo-woo floating around in dream and physical realms. But first, a word (or many) about the market which is due to rally at the open. So hint futures. Philly Fed First Always an interesting bellwether to keep an eye on: “The diffusion index for current … Read More
Can people profit from knowledge of the future? It’s an intriguing question. It’s come up a lot in my life. Particularly since we are fast-approaching our December 1 time machine experiment window. Although our focus this morning is on less-direct means of knowing future. So, in addition to our usual look at the week’s news, and … Read More
War is coming. But, the band plays on. Besides, too early to figure which war will come first? Europe’s or Australia’s? Both seem ready to heat up. Yet, adversity and opportunity often make joint appearances. So, which will it be?
American can, at least in theory, remember the Great Crash was in October of 1929.
Yet, how many are taught the day U.S. stocks hit their Depression era lows?
Thank you for your service. For my brother in law and our many friends who served; a portion of whom paid the highest price. Me? Never did a hitch. U.S. Navy turned me down (*asthma and eczema). So at age 19 I was instead a microwave tech rep on remote sites in Alaska. Posh gig: … Read More
Been asked by a new subscriber to explain how Elaine and I came to Texas almost 20-years ago. Pretty good tale, turns out. Very Monty Python: “And now for something completely different…” After all, why would a couple in their early 50s walk out on five of the hottest cities in the country? Seattle, … Read More
We assume you have been following this bullshit where the US Government’s Department of Justice has recommended $450,000 settlements per child (two children max for $900,000!!!!!) to separated families – of illegal border jumpers – for their pain and suffering? Biden is now trying to back-pedal and ass cover. See reports like Biden denies $450,000 … Read More
That’s short for Military Operations Other Than War. And over the coming year (or three) it could be very useful to have not only a grip on basics of MOOTW, but also in the changes of “nation posture” ahead of such change at the systemic level. Of course, before we get into this, a few … Read More
Rather than an in-depth outlook on a general lifestyle and economic issue, we’re focused this weekend worrisome charts for markets next week.
Wherein we look at Future’s “deal” over the next couple of years. Expanding with personal responses that follow the Friday UrbanSurvival column outline. While we await the next “turns of the screws” – indicated by the market opening bell Monday. Our eyes will be scanning the western horizon for hints about how Taiwan will play … Read More
Usability Note: If you see a strange symbol at the start of this morning’s post, I’ve installed a “voting system” to let you voice easy Likes or Dislikes of our reports. If it gets too negative, we will abandon it (UrbanSurvival is a digital dictatorship). But feedback is useful. Who’s at the Wheel? Commies first: … Read More
