We had a weird error on the Internet today.  Our site here went down (“server crash”) but the strange part was that when it crashed, there is a program we run for added speed which does caching. At the time of the server crash, the ‘snapshot’ taken was a link to Kitco – and now … Read More

Word that CV-19 has continued to accelerate comes as no surprise around here; we’ve been projecting it for months.  It’s how “compounding” works. Yet, the arrival means more than draconian government regulations, there are the problems of “savings destruction” because that’s the stuff of which major Long Wave Depressions are made. That and drought.  But, … Read More

The “Cold Chain” Problem We can see the “Joe Blow” rally Monday as likely to collapse today.  Reasons are manifold, but we’ve had five-days up with very little actual “fresh news.” Be suspect as hell that the breakthrough vaccination report was (literally) put on ice in order to push it back  after the Election.  Could … Read More

Thousand Point Joe? That Joe Biden is president-elect remains a contentious claim, despite the supportive news reports this weekend. But, between the Pfizer CV vaccine news and poly-hype, the Biden Bubble might produce as stock futures were up over 1,000 points, and the S&P was on track to add nearly 130 to Friday’s euphoric close.  … Read More

Disruptive Making In Sight? If you’re an adventurer, time to put “another one on the pile.” Since I’ve done so much in life already (multiple careers, kids, sailing, flying, inventing, computering, writing, webbing, building, metalwork, solar, engineering, broadcasting, scuba, turning…well, the list goes on for a while…) it’s NOT like there’s any shortage of things … Read More

Tired of wasting your time on social media and election jitters? This morning we outline a new concept to evolve the “next big steps” in human evolution. While a lot of Americans have been wasting “personal processor clicks” on fears of riots, insurrections, and voter fraud allegations, we’ve been working on a tool that could … Read More

Brace For it… We are not fearful of “the Future.”  But, numerous “things come due” next week.  The list is impressive and it’s our focus this morning. Because in order to profit in markets, it’s useful to have some idea of “what’s out there.”  Guess the future right and picking winning stocks is a whole … Read More

President Biden by Nightfall? Multiple data points are considered today by any American investor this morning that will shape our future.  An “Unfortunate Series of Dominoes” to play off the Lemony Snicket phrase. Beginning from then, we can outline the nightmare like this: Joe Biden has jumped to 253 Electoral votes overnight.  Donald Trump is … Read More

Stand by for America to “fix” a bunch of non-problems. As we awaken to a “revolution lacking but a match” it looks like lawyers – not voters or rational humans – will decide our next president. Rather than our typical drill-down into some important aspect of life, we instead focus today on a collection of … Read More

“Best President Money Can Buy” A report on  CNCB caught my eye while the coffee was kicking it today:  A hat-tip to CNBC.  Because in their article “Here’s the final tally of where tech billionaires donated for the 2020 election” they out that 98 percent of tech chiefs threw in with the socialists democrats (pardon … Read More

For Which It Stood The Election Doesn’t Matter.  Food matters, water matters, your personal stores of consumables matter.  But, the Election?  If you even care about it today, you don’t understand we could be in for weeks of conflict.  What you should be worried about is what “comes out the other end” of that process. In a … Read More

A Convenience Store Based Antenna Ham radio operators world-wide would love an antenna that is cheap, easily built out of locally available parts – and outperforms both standard dipole antennas and other commonly-built wires.  Well, here it is…. After almost a year of modeling our ideas for a “Super Antenna” the design was locked.  It … Read More

This follows our recent take on William S. Lind’s  book Retroculture.  After some thought, much of what advocates of “the old days” are after really comes down to mainly one thing:  Speed. Gone, for example, are times when people strove for individual breakthrough insights. Regardless of time spent getting there. In that style’s place has … Read More
