The “Big Slide” – Jobs – D.C. Dicklock

It’s a nice Friday.  My new CPAP machine is working great, thanks.  With a good night’s sleep, along with a forecast high of 74F today, what could possibly go wrong? As it turns out: plenty. Long-term?  Dismal Being a self-centered, greedy, semi-retired scrooge, let me huff on the whiteboard marker and begin with the market outlook … Read More

GOPeed in D.C. Loserville – Jobs Falter (along with Markets)

Not a fan of Joe Biden and his woke/left lying alliance of blustering bureaucratic blunderers.  BUT he managed to get one thing right, so credit where due: Biden: GOP speaker drama ’embarrassing,’ ‘not a good look’ | AP News “Bad Look” is Right I don’t like to use (highly-accurate, descriptive) words like “shitshow” at breakfast.  So, … Read More

NewWreck ’23? – Orthodox Wars, Lies and Coverups

The Hysteria Outbreak before today’s open was pre-dickable, if you will. The odds of a nuclear “event” was real this weekend, and we might imagine some form of “relief rally” could be justified.  But on reading how the Bond Market just experienced its Worst Year EVER (For Battered Bonds, Threats of Further Losses Linger – … Read More

’23 and Thee

The human genome is in the driver’s seat and that’s not something to look forward to in the coming year.  2023 has a ton of very dangerous trends converging in H1 (Q1 + Q2) and the odds of continuing to sink into a Second Depression are high. A look ahead including a longer-range planning view … Read More

Closing the Books on 2023: Not Very Good

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

Year-end Mini Rally – Reasonable Outlook for 2023

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

Global War in ’24?

Right.  But is that hours or the year 2024?  This morning we consider the structural problem of “quantum futuring” and ponder our simplistic views of probability over time contained in our language and thinking styles.. We don’t propose any novel new ways to approach such profound Truths – as what lays ahead for the upright … Read More

Decoding an M Week?

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

2023: Our Post-Civilization Planner

Since I’ll be on Coast-to-Coast with George Noory, and since markets in the U.S. are taking this Boxing Day off, what better time to sit back with a fresh cup of coffee and ponder the three major agenda items that all 8-billion humans face a week from now when New Year’s Eve shows itself. The CLOCK IS … Read More

Housing Data and Christmas Horror Ahead?

We are beginning to wind down into the holidays. Tomorrow, though, a very useful Peoplenomics report on estimating small house/microhome projects complete with spreadsheet to do the heavy lifting, As a “mood setter” for this kind of project (son G2’s planning his build this spring) it’s useful to look at three things. Overall direction of the … Read More

America’s “Silver Bullet Syndrome” – Can Santa Save Us?

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

Broken Neckline, Channel – Nukes Next?

A week from now, we will be thawing turkey and telling you about coldzilla or freeze-my-geddon.  But this morning, we are stopping at the accident scene on Wall Street on the way to real work. STAT! Broken Neckline  We made something of a big deal in our Wednesday Peoplenomics® preopen report about the (then) pending head-and-shoulders formation that was … Read More
