There is a 52.63% chance that we are replaying the left side of the 1929 run-up from December of 1928. HOWEVER, there is also a 73.68% chance that we are replaying the right side of the 1929 blow-off, and in that case, the world will be ending shortly – at least in a financial sense. All … Read More

Oh boy!  Soon as we get the tractor back in operation (next week thanks to the rain – this week was rained out) it will be time to install the first set of one-pound coffee cans and get seriously into “Original Rough Country Golf.” You may have never heard of the ORCGA – Original Rough Country … Read More

Seems CNN makes up news.  Caught at it when it leaked that one of the school shooting witnesses claimed he was “scripted” by the network. Point for the Stupid:  This is making up news to an internal agenda, not reporting.  “Proactive journalism” is a neo-liberal concept.  The word report infers after a fact or event.  Neoliberal ‘journalists’ crusade.  News reporters (hate … Read More

My income didn’t go up as much as I expected this year.  Up, yes.  Enough?  Ever? As usual, when something is “off” a bit in my Life, the best thing to do is sit back and open up the doors of awareness.  For there, the correct answer is certain. So, it was open the I-Ching Inbox this … Read More

No joke!  For a lot of people I know it’s harder to manage their time in retirement that it was in the business life.Sure – sounds weird, but we’ll explain.  But first we go through the charts an d indicators as the sounds of a 1929-like Crash get louder.  And wait till you see the … Read More

The clock is ticking. I’ve been telling you for some weeks now – in fact a few days after the all-time-high in our Aggregate Index January 26th – that it is time to be extremely cowardly.  Not that we didn’t score some nice lunch money on the recent bounce.  But the clock is ticking. We’re also … Read More

Been a while since we’ve talked about some genuine serious woo-woo.  That’s the part of life not well-understood, let alone documented, by science.  This morning, some things science hasn’t made clear. People have two lives.  One is the “normal” (*waking-state) that we are sharing right now.  The OTHER is the world you go to – when … Read More

Remarkably little is going on today.  In fact, when stories like the movie Black Panther are the “above the fold” content on websites, we have to breathe a bit easier.  No planet killing asteroids in view. Still, the bashing of Donald Trump for his latest (what media call) “tweet storm” (which you can read for yourself over here) … Read More

Ever say to yourself “My Life would be better except for…” (fill in the blank)? I think loads of people give that some thought in passing but I’ve seldom met the real-deal Self-Actualizers who methodically look at their lives and go about living it creatively. Since this is a holiday (and conveniently close to Birthday #69) I spent … Read More

A nifty new kind of meter has shown up on eBay and Amazon lately. Called an M-Meter, it is designed to help people new to electronics to identify all those strange looking electronics parts. Today, we assemble on…

“How Long Do We Have?” is this morning’s focus.  That’s because, every so often, one of the children will call.  Besides the “Hey dad, how are you?” there is often a “What do you think is going to happen?“They will plug-in whatever the news story du jour is – not that it makes a difference.  … Read More

I have suggested many times that the Mueller Investigation would end with little other than a series of allegations. So here they are in the press release out today from the Justice Department: “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Continues below)   The press release continues: Friday, February 16, 2018 Grand Jury Indicts Thirteen Russian Individuals and Three … Read More

As usual, I will begin with disavowing making financial recommendations.  It is not what we do around here! On the other hand, we are very inclined, and in fact anxious, to talk about longwave economic theory. The idea that there are long waves (greater than 50 years) in the global economy is not new.  It … Read More
