We have several dates for a Market High we are tracking – and the differences in what drives the dates are absolutely fascinating to think about. Why worry about a market high? Even some of today’s youngest workers are in the market, whether they know it, or not, through their 401-K or retirement programs at … Read More

Monday was spent in a mad rush to finish the guest quarters – before the guests arrive next Wednesday. So far, the plans are great, but we won’t finish the mud work until today and that leaves this afternoon and tomorrow morning for priming and then finish paint Thursday. Decorating, do-dads, and some trim on … Read More

For a country that was once able to wage war on two fronts (Japan and Europe in WW II) our present inability to think straight and execute treasonably is nothing short of breath-taking. Seriously? After literally saving Australia’s butt in the War back when, the Australian prime minister didn’t have the respect to tell our … Read More

For the attention deficit, we will start with the graphics first. I told several people that I would have to call them back Monday because Elaine and I are in the middle of a large remodeling project of the guest quarters. Elaine does the design part:  “Here take this old sionk and vanity and turn … Read More

This morning we have to look at a pile of data, including more of the historical analogs between the presidency of Herbert Hoover and the election this past week of Donald Trump. So bean up (or light up) and into the data, if you please. We have two date ranges for the all-time market high … Read More

No, Oregoons is not a misspelling. It’s a collection of sour-grapes three-year olds. You know, people in Oregon must be really, really stupid. I mean, you saw the headlines about how there have been demonstrations around the country and how one in Portland turned violent last night? So let me ask you a simple, very … Read More

Starters: Do something nice for a Veteran today.  A simple phone call and a “Thank you for your Service” is good.  I don’t care how busy you are, the only excuse for not making one such call is you’re dead.  (In which case drop us a note, we have some questions.) Topic 1:  Weight Loss … Read More

The futures are showing the Trump rally has at least an other half day, or so, and it could go higher. Periodically, I share the following long-term view of the economy, updated twice weekly for our Peoplenomics.com subscribers: This brings me to the financial discussion points of the morning: · Gaps tend to be filled. … Read More

As the election left-overs continue to flow in – and I’m sure it was just a clerical oversight that I haven’t been invited to the Obama-Trump transition talks – it’s time to once again focus on what is important in America. For one thing, I expect that we will go back to being a country … Read More

Most mornings we focus on a particular aspect of Life, the Economy, Prepping and Survivalist thinking, or just Out There on topics like the Art of Futuring. This morning, however, I’m going to walk you through a high-risk trade that SHOULD return us a juicy 6% gain in just three days. Definitely in  the “Do … Read More

We used to hate Election Day in the newsroom. Reason? You don’t have anything to talk about. The same phenomena happens in sports, too. Two teams, like the Cowboys and the Whoevers can be engaged in a marvelous battle of football standings. But for the sports media, they only get one game per week to … Read More

I try not to get too much into the woo-woo side of things around here, other the my occasional mentions of prophetic dreams when I feel like sharing them and sometimes my “dream work.” Yet my interest in Woo has never waned. There IS something – a force, principle, or perhaps a personality – bigger … Read More

President Obama rocked the election this weekend by saying, according to a report here, that ““If you have a family member who maybe is undocumented, then you have an even greater reason to vote.” Video Url:  https://youtu.be/nVR1ZrR0Iu4  Whether this is an impeachable offense demands on which side of the political aisle you’re sitting on.
