My friend Robin Landry (site) has been managing money for people for about 40-years now.  When I blew out of my long position in the markets a 8-days ago, he advised me to be patient. “Markets climb a ‘Wall of Worry’ most times…” I knew it to be true and it wasn’t the first time I’d … Read More

While I am working around the ranch – where we mostly raise bugs this time of year – little things go through my mind.  Items from the daily news flow that I can’t get out of my head. Yeah, I should be able to banish them, but stories – like VP Mike Pence going to South Korea to … Read More

This is Dyngus Day.  A tough day to get excited about, with a few local exceptions. Markets are generally closed in Europe because this is “Easter Monday” and a market holiday in places like Germany, France, and the U.K. Oh, and Australian markets were closed overnight, as well. (continues below) “What does this have to do … Read More

A number of readers have suggested that we skip the daily sojourn into economics and instead put up an “all Elaine” website. Not a bad idea, but she’s very self conscious.  Except she did permit me to take one snap of her “Daisy-Mae” look while she was working on the garden… Now that we have … Read More

This morning, since it’s a holiday weekend and all, we will focus on the charts and outlooks for next week’s action which will very much hinge on military developments between now and the Monday open. We will also consider the problem of ‘disappearing investment options.”  Sure, things like real estate are still selling, but to … Read More

I wasn’t going to write a long piece this morning, since it’s a holiday and I have many other things I’d rather be doing. But please take the time to carefully read this morning’s “Coping” section and understand the case I’m making – namely that government is already heavily relying on ‘computational support’ as a … Read More

Don’t look too closely:  America may be on computer-assisted policy auto-pilot and that could explain a lot of Trump actions lately. A number of readers are confused by my outlook on the Trump presidency.  So this being a semi-holiday, I thought it would be a good time to explain what MAY be going on. If … Read More

Yep… markets will be closed in the U.S. tomorrow and we have a boatload of reasons NOT to want to hold stocks over three days when you’d be “locked in” to holding for the longer term. As we explained to Peoplenomics readers some months back, people have three ways they can “play the market” – even … Read More

Don’t we all work hard enough for “the man” as is? Tomorrow is one of those days I hate. It’s a semi-vacation day. The rich (and those who make it possible for them to be so) down on Wall St. will have tomorrow off.  The Bond market will be closed. Worst of all, most Americans … Read More

We dispense with all the usual formatics this morning to deal with the One Question that Matters. What’s the right move at this precise time and place that a person trying to preserve their retirement accounts and such MIGHT consider given where we are in the Economic Long Wave? It’s a complex question and while … Read More

Some things are just predictable. Take the overnight economic developments: Japan was down 0.27%. The Hang Seng was down 0.72% Germany and France with down a bit. But the UK rallies. Amidst this, U.S. futures were flat and, as we explained in a special report for our Peoplenomics.com subscribers Monday, there was some art involved … Read More

Simply, it’s the lack of sufficiency in how whole nation’s think and act. With the West and Russia going eye-to-eye in Syria (again) and with the U.S. Navy moving into the Western Pacific within striking range of North Korea, as China masses 150,000 troops on the North Korean border, I thought it might be productive … Read More

I  rocked it today.  Not a big win, but this time I conscientiously journaled every move, since a number of subscribers have asked about my thinking processes between the Peoplenomics Oscillator updates at mid week and on weekends. You asked….so here’s how we rolled.  Thought by thought. Blew out of my long position, if even … Read More
