One of the highlights of our trip up to Tulsa (other than the Tom Jones concert in Monday’s column) was to learn my friend Robin Landry – besides being an investment ace, also had a serious film career in college. If you click over to YouTube here, you can see the 1972 movie 30 Dangerous … Read More

The Futures this morning point to the Dow moving up 230-points, or thereabouts, at the open.  But, before you run out and buy into the long side, a couple of words of caution, if we may? For one, no matter how impressive the intraday run is, we need to see an even higher close before … Read More

Always wanted to do another concert review.  Here it comes… Back in the day, when Ure was a rock & roll newscaster on the AM side of the late KOL in Seattle (which went on as KMPS), it was Patrick McDonald who did the concert reviews.  Pat was so good that he became the head … Read More

A quick note this morning that should come as good news to the bulls. Despite the HUGE longwave economic mess we’re in, the latest H.6 Money Stocks report from the Federal Reserve shows how the Fed has deftly reduced their money print rate at M1 to prevent the market from prematurely peaking. And as the … Read More

This morning as Elaine and I head for the Tom Jones’ concert in Tulsa tomorrow night. Elaine’s thrilled about the trip, but a bit less so with my planning. Since selling our old Beechcraft, I haven’t been able to get “flight planning” out of my mind….Besides, I go for the woo-woo. (Continues below)   Something … Read More

In long wave economics, our main forte, we are in a lazy holding pattern.  The market could continue on up, but to do so would require the recent highs of the past week be exceeded and we don’t see that at the open this morning with Dow futures down 25 and broader indicators saying it should … Read More

Super short column tomorrow morning as Elaine and I take off at 8 AM Friday to head up to Tulsa, Oklahoma and the Saturday night Tom Jones show with friends.  I have been working on “generating luck” for some probability studies in the casino, too. Panama Bates will hold down the fort here. I proposed … Read More

With 30 graphics, this morning’s report may load slower than usual… Then, in charts, looks like disaster is coming back into fashion…so bean-up and we roll…. More for Subscribers       … Read More

I clicked into the short side of the market this morning in the Extended Hours session.  Admittedly, it’s a long-shot, but there is a technical possibility (based on aggregate market behaviors).  And, if it doesn’t work out, I won’t be in even the whole day. The common “buzz” is that the market is going higher … Read More

They’re coming for your sick leave, next. Then, they want your home equity. People living in the media bubble like to insist that there is no Deep State.  Yet, there’s an emerging case in Texas that proves the point we’ve been making for years – namely that nowadays, the Government Rules – not We the People. Worse? It … Read More

We’ve been  thinking with an interesting data metrics idea for timing market moves up, or down.  Specifically it has to do with what I would describe as the global psychological analog  to out existing work in aggregated markets. The simplest was to describe it is the notion that taken as a whole, the world some weeks … Read More

Among the many failings of the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, our adventures this weekend with the FTA have brought a lot of things into perspective for us.  They’re worth some thought. First, what is FTA? Well, that’s short for  free-to-air television.  Most people are happy watching the “corporate-filtered” news dispensed in America to the … Read More
