Sure, some social harmonies.  But show us the Money!  Which is what we will be focusing on today because when the market opens Monday, it will mark a possible turning point week for stocks – again. Just a few headlines today.  Because someone you know has been spending too much screen time making his lunch … Read More

(A 45 minute column…I write too much for free…) I’m taking a short half-bow.  Because last week (Friday) I gave you the data RIGHT HERE with my wild-ass guess where the market would be at the end of Wave 5 (or a larger 1) down. Here’s how close we got: Our Aggregate Index work was … Read More

Markets are likely to rally today, which we will get to in a second. (Told you that last week if you were paying attention…) More important matters first.  Because something much more insidious is going on:  The Internet has spawned collapse.  You may not see it directly, but what was once a nice – evenly … Read More

Yes.  A Simple Way to get a better bead on the future.  In some ways, it’s similar to the Delphi technique.  Which is typically used to address singular questions. In the case of temporal nomography, the objective is much wider.  Like getting a “sense of where America is” in a broad sense in order to … Read More

Our minimum downside target (38,856 on the Aggregate Index) was reached in the last half-hour. At last check we were in the 38,802 range.  Although some further declines are likely, we exited our personal short position this morning. Let’s just say we made “lunch money.”  (Hell of a lunch, Yowza!) More on what COULD be … Read More

Wow!  Just out from Case-Shiller/S&P: YEAR-OVER-YEAR The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, reported a 19.7% annual gain in July, up from 18.7% in the previous month. The 10-City Composite annual increase came in at 19.1%, up from 18.5% in the previous month. The 20-City Composite … Read More

Breaking Data Headlines Matter.   When the Drudge Report ran this headline today, it meant to us that the Biden Administration has run out of patience with “the bankers.” This, in turn, leads to some well-placed speculation:  The U.S. Federal Reserve seems likely to undergo a “house-cleaning” and in most big organizations, that often means “the boss” … Read More

Just the easy stuff today.  Because sometime between now and Wednesday, one of two things is likely to happen: Either  a) we will see markets turn down in a vicious Wave (v) of a likely larger I down  OR b) the bankster class will pull out all the stops and try to turn this pig … Read More

(US – As in UrbanSurvival, of course.  Not the “jab-and slab” gang  So’s we’re clear.) Shop Inflation Although it’s speaking heresy to the ‘stupid woke’ that fact is many don’t have the brains God gave cats.  Yes, inflation IS real. An STS reader sent us photographic proof of how the “inflation game” is being played … Read More

Some hardcore economic reality leaked this week from one of the regional Fed chiefs.  But it’s not making headlines.  Maybe because it’s not a furtherance of monetizing Americans.  A refreshingly candid view of things ahead. Moral hazard abounds in America these days.  Particularly in economics. Would you walk into a crooked Casino if they had … Read More

A longish – but I figure quite important – ramble to begin with… It’s a discussion of how you look at piles of data.  And how sometimes, when you look, it’s what’s not there that matters. Background We will frequently cite something called our Aggregate Market Index when addressing things like long wave economic cyclicity in … Read More

Our Aggregate Index just hit:  39,793.92 See the highlighted box here: Now things will get interesting! Everyone to the high board?  Or can them pump this puppy up even more!!!??? Hype,, shuck, or dive? It’ll be the close that matters… Debrief in the morning. g

Our Aggregate just hit 39615.86 before the top of the hour.  May keep going, on momentum/overshoot, but we have now hit the Wave IV green zone target of 39,609.50. Whee!  (Bank of England is still printing, too!) (Widows and orphans to the lifeboats?)
