Even if you’re not a high rolling ($40/year) Peoplenomics® subscriber and haven’t followed our 25-years of research into economic long waves and how cyclical economics is a repetitive sport, you at least might find this “big picture” stuff of interest. In our long-term work, what we suggested some weeks ago near the top of Wave … 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
An Easy Math Lesson is where our Adventures in Money Grubbing begins today. For those who have never studied the work of who? “Fibonacci (/?f?b??n??t?i/;[3] also US: /?fi?b-/,[4][5] Italian: [fibo?natt?i]; c.?1170 – c.?1240–50),[6] also known as Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo of Pisa, or Leonardo Bigollo Pisano (‘Leonardo the Traveller from Pisa’[7]), was an Italian mathematician from the Republic of Pisa, considered to be “the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages“… …reports Wikipedia.

The government’s latest Emp-Sit (employment situation report) has just been released. But before we go there some contexting is useful. First, we had Wednesday’s ADP hiring data. This reported “ADP National Employment Report: Private Sector Employment Increased by 132,000 Jobs in August; Annual Pay was Up 7.6%”. Key part of their press release was that … Read More
Why. our headline today almost sounds like one of our ShopTalk Sunday reports, doesn’t it? Except the task at hand is much larger: How do we still “save America” and continue the rational assent of the Western World? The task is mighty daunting: We’re going into a risky war-kindling weekend in the Winds of War … Read More
Good news – and bad – about those couple of old, tired, worn-out laptops here. The good news is they are all screaming fast. Linux does that. The bad is they have forced me to look again – somewhat realistically – at the odds of the Internet going down within the next three years. As … Read More
35-pages of my latest book (on Collapse Capable Electronics Operators) can be quickly trained up in “Event of an Actual Emergency.” In this week’s partial release of the book are sections on HUMINT (HUman INTelligence) techniques as well as SIGINT (SIGnals INTelligence).

Extreme Summer, 2022 Edition is slowly moving towards conclusion. Nowhere near fast enough for us, though. Our kitchen was attacked by ants this week. Elaine came over to the office sputtering “Hoards of ants have invaded the kitchen!” Sure enough, yes they had. However, hardly the end of the world. Essentially, they were along the … Read More
The visit of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan will go down in history, we’re thinking, along with other great historical gaffes. Like Chamberlain on Appeasement of Hitler. Sometimes bright people make very bad decisions. The underlying processes leading to conflict have not really changed since World War II. In WW III, we will see more whiz-bang … Read More
Some genuine “old reporter” chill is in order, here. So much hype and so little hard news, that I think slowing down for a bit of perspective may be useful. If nothing else, this may your help your blood pressure, right? From the top, then: A few years back, I wrote a wonderfully useful book called … Read More
We are coming into a period when the term “high risk” could mean more than any other in our lifetimes. We are literally living in a “powder keg” world which could “go Archduke Ferdinand” at any second. Plus with our ChartPack – and a market that has soared (as of mid-session Friday) more than nine … Read More
A couple of Economic news releases before we launch into refried lies. The first is the ECI – Employment Cost Index. Which, over time, feeds into the underlying inflation problem: “Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 1.3 percent, seasonally adjusted, for the 3-month period ending in June 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported … Read More
