One of our readers requested we turn a carefully tuned eye toward some of the longer-term outcomes of CV-19.  Among the question is “What is it doing to the divorce rate?” We can already see a wide swath of “social destruction” because of the virus.  Yet, in the longer term, is it possible that “What … Read More

You DID Pay Attention, Right? It  seems to happen every month, but on which day is only semi-predictable.  And the amount of month-end sell-off is uneven, as well… Still, as we have advised  Peoplenomics.com subscribers, there is usually a day toward the end of the month when Big Money squares up with Banks (and whoever).  … Read More

Hyper’s Cyber Scam? DBSYDN. Our early morning guidance for the week.  (Don’t Buy Shit You Don’t Need!) Take for example this morning:  Got up super-early because we didn’t over-eat because we didn’t do our turkey this weekend.  Simply too much going on around here. But there – 5:22 AM today – I spied something I … Read More

Ready Or Not… It’s almost here.  2021 looms. With a little free time on holiday weekends, it’s useful to turn off most of the hype-crazy mainstream media.  Instead, try doing a “personal performance audit.”  Designed to answer key questions.  Like? “Did I have a Plan this year?” In the unlikely event you did, “Did you … Read More

-things I learned This Week: Turkey is for Our Convenience Not the calendar’s. We will not be doing the turkey Sunday, as planned (rescheduled from Thursday). Because we both have other things we’d rather do. Messing with a 20 Lb. turkey didn’t sound like as much fun as tossing a pot roast in and letting … Read More

That’s an interesting bet given the VIX was under 20 Friday.  Means no one is afraid.  Saw those levels in February, didn’t we? We’re guessing there will be more presidential election concerns and possibly conflict.  The Middle East beckons.  Since war is the historical outcome of economic declines, we should expect something, somewhere to light … Read More

First You Need a Plan I can’t emphasize this part enough. Before you visit another website, turn away from the screen and list the half-dozen things you – YOU (the one with the money) – really want to accomplish in 2021. Steal Your Eyes from Click Bait!  Every time you see a “news story” about … Read More

Another Year of Many Turkeys An unusual number have held political office this year.  Yet, even after elections (such as those were) we still seem to have a huge flock. So it’s with great anticipation our “Annual Turkey Leftovers” is back again. Picking up the History: Back in 2013. we share the best turkey leftovers … Read More

Still Tracking We have been following the “Replay of 1929” for almost 20-years now.  As of the close Wednesday, here’s how things lined up in our work: Several items of note to followers of this indicator: It is based on an Aggregate Index we developed in 2000.  That is, equal dollars in the Dow, high … Read More

Some interesting calculations about how the present-day “record Dow” is doing little more than a repeat of (gulp!) 1929. Want that target date for a possible “final high?” Beyond that, however, there is a pre-turkey rasher of data to sort through since the Fed gov will be closed tomorrow (birds of a what?).  Friday will … Read More

Gotta Lock-In Somewhere, Right? If there was ever a reason to  buy the biggest home you could afford, Coronavirus is IT.  Capital I.T. Not surprisingly, people are doing exactly  as programmed: NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 24, 2020 – S&P Dow Jones Indices today released the latest results for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices, the leading measure … Read More

Housing Data Shortly Fly Me To the Moon, bossa nova, seems like today’s starting point. With Dow futures pointing to a 300+ point pop at the open, it seems all the world’s gone mad. The data we’re seeing just doesn’t “add up” the way it ought to. Gold prices – for example – are cratering.  … Read More

Holiday Market Rally at Hand Dow futures were up 200 points when checked.  The reason – to me, anyway – looks technical rather than fundamental.  Because… President Trump’s Election Challenge Lawyer – Sidney Powell – has been fired (as some call it)  because the “grand conspiracy” got too…well, you know…  too too. Joe Biden is … Read More
