Managing Personal Money with Corporate Ratios

Well, ain’t this just a pickle?  Here we are ahead of the Easter holiday weekend and people are still not focused (mainly) on personally useful news.  Instead they are focused on complete time-wasters like, oh, how the return of Roseanne is going to somehow matter either in the future of Hollywood, or the conduct of your life.  (Although Trump … Read More

Coping: With Thought Projections

As you know, from reading my book “Dimensions Next Door: Hacking Space-time” there’s a whole chapter based on the Peoplenomics research into something called “The Light Crown Project.” The core idea is simple enough:  Every time a neuron fires, a photon is ejected by the electro-chemical reaction.  Ergo, if you want to change how the neurons … Read More

Coping: Men & Machines vs. Men & Computers

There’s a story (and song done most notably by Harry Belafonte) about John Henry.  It’s where our discussion of 3D printing this morning springs from… Song dates back to the 1870’s and the building of a mile-long tunnel for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.  Big Bend tunnel, also called the Great Bend Tunnel. John Henry, says … Read More

Sell the Hooker, Buy the News!

Futures up 322 on the Dow?  Of course the market’s running up today!  Ah, the perversion of economics spun along beautifully along with Hoover II’s SSFM (seriously steamy freaking mess) on 60-Minutia (sic). But in the end, who cares?  OK, Melania, then… Forget the DVD taunts (where is the extortion line crossed?), the blah, blah, … Read More

Making: A One-Hour Shoeshine Box

Saturday – Peoplenomics done.  Good week in the market.  Time to make something. My eye has come to rest on the Hangerworld Premium Cedar Wood Shoe Shine Care Box Kit with Foot Rest while cruising shoe polish boxes on Amazon.

OK, gimme the name of even ONE other website that was telling you – free – from mid-February that we should have a steep decline March 22 – … Read More

Coping: Market Turn Forecast 8-Years Ago

In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting last year I wrote a mighty long piece in which I not only chronicled the adventures of a hypothetical Deep State operation that I dubbed Directorate 153, but I also first mentioned the criticality of March 22. The adventure – which I have clipped and posted from the original … Read More

These Three Charts Explain Everything

Well, here we is (sic) – March 22 – and this is ideally when in our strange view of reality, US Market MIGHT take to the high-board in a very 1929-like way. I predicted this last month based on our work on the Peoplenomics side of the house, Dow futures were down more than 200 points earlier.  We … Read More

Coping: Budget Advice – From the Kids!

One of my daughters, I have to say, got high marks from dad this week when we talked about how she and her hubby were doing in their new apartment. They had been in a great shared house deal, but that fell apart due to a serious foundation water leak.  Exit the great finished basement and … Read More

AI: Sunset for Musicians

A word of caution:  Avoid the temptation to blast co-humans with  the catchier tracks linked in this morning’s report.A bit longish, sure – especially if you listen to all the music links.  This is a study of music that reveals a great deal of the general processes involved in obsolizing/obsoleting humans. Music’s a marvelous context … Read More
