Yep, time to expand the government’s accounting relationship with its citizens.  Only this time, the people making the contributions and writing the checks for the free-loaders deserve a chance to cut a better deal. We’ll explain. But first, how the BREXIT vote tomorrow is a non-event except for stock promoters who like to :”talk their … Read More

If you aren’t a subscriber to our www.peoplenomics.com site, you are missing one of the most useful little tools out there. It’s a simple spreadsheet I call “brainamp.xls” and its purpose is to tell me as much as possible about the potential future of the market with as little information as possible. Just for the … Read More

Never too late to get behind a fad…one that had somehow been lost in my normal flow of “things going by” most of which are helplessly financial, therefore boring, except when comes to spending money. I had never heard of “Escape Rooms” until daughter Allison called and explained that she, hubby Jace, and their friends … Read More

The hints have been all over this site for a while: My Friday morning memo began “Ready for a Rally?” and yea, verily, this morning the Dow futures are up 200 and my position in SSO was up 2.39% in the extended hours session overnight. Meantime, a skeptical (and I can’t blame him) reader sent … Read More

Oh-oh. Calendar says it’s time to study up for another doctor’s appointment. No, not the eyes this time. This is the regular blood draw and chat with my doctor. Yep, the one who didn’t like my giving him Ignore the Awkward, the book that outed statins. “I take ‘em” he told me. “I don’t…” I … Read More

In this morning’s report, we consider the high importance of getting your home paid off before retirement. But it goes further than that, because as we look at your “silent partner”  (government) we see the move toward “renting your Life” picking up speed…and one of the most subtle ways this works is through never ending … Read More

A number of factors could play into a sizeable rally, about now. For one, the market made an amazing come-back yesterday – a good thing for my SSO long position. For another, this is quadruple-witching. And for still more, we are coming up on end of quarter results. RMEINDER: BTW did you get your Q2 … Read More

OK, I know we already talked about the hot weather once this week, but here comes another dose of it today, especially in the Central and East Texas areas. But the reason I mention this now is that as summer comes, it’s good to be ready for excessive heat, especially if the warming is as … Read More

Anyone with 50-cents of net worth has heard by now that the Federal Reserve left their rates unchanged at the Yellen-session Wednesday. But this just moves us closer to the point where I will finish ny dollar-cost averaging into the long side of the market for what my (twisted) logic screams MUST be a huge … Read More

Let me begin by stating that I am not a healthcare professional. My only medical training was a first aid/cpr card back when, and reading one of my son’s EMT training manuals. Other than being the recipient of four eye surgeries in the past two months, the only other surgeries I have personally participated in … Read More

Seems to me there is an even (or better) chance that the Fed decision today could become a major inflection point for the markets. So we shall dispense with an in-depth article to sit back and try to print a little money after the Fed decision comes out. Rather than the 90th rehash of politics … Read More

This morning I want to bring you back to a column I wrote in August of last year because it may turn out to be a critical support level this week, of before the BREXIT vote: The column was titled “Watch 2,050 on the S&P” and if was posted on August 21, 2015. Before that, … Read More

…Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard…. Oh…sorry. Got off into the weeds there (not that kind) thinking about our latest experiment in personal health and wellness. A little story as background: When I was a child (back when television wasn’t around) I had athsma something terrible. Then, along in about … Read More
