When I looked earlier this morning, that one lone silver coin of ours was up to $17.31 an ounce as the major break-out in silver seems to be solidly underway.  Went almost vertical this morning up 71-cents… I’ve been looking for the past several days for the cause of this (platinum is also rising) and … Read More

As you may know (or at least I think I mentioned) that one of the upcoming articles planned for our www.peoplenomics.com site has to do with the use of the Chinese art of feng shui in order to “influence” luck and good financial fortune. As usual, I like to begin a project like this with … Read More

We have good news and bad this morning. I went off looking at data on the time scales of investing and instead came to a whole different result.  It was an unexpected observation. Specifically I found what may be a “hostage moment “to come when the Greater Depression (be patient, soon come, compound interest guarantees … Read More

While our favorite bond trader down in Houston floats out from the 20-inches of rain down that way (only 6-inches here at the ranch), we have to wonder if my long-discussed Ure’s Discontinuity is arriving. Here’s how it works: 1.  In normal times, the decision to invest in a complex one.  Bonds offer the assure … Read More

My visiting friend – who flies out today – isn’t much of an astrology fan, however I am.  It is one of our subtle differences over the years.  I’ve seen it work – or come close – many, many times. No, I am not into the general woo-woo type astrology, but rather its practical art. … Read More

This is not exactly a “big deal” morning. Futures were down 60 and here comes post options let-down.  Wake me up later.  A lot of reasons to snooze, of course, but the main ones go something like this: 1.  Thanks to Emancipation Day being a DC holiday, TODAY is the deadline for IRS tax filings, … Read More

Two very interesting things are going on around the ranch.  One I mentioned last week – the adventures with the “fallen” intraocular lens which will put Ures truly “under the knife” probably next week.  The other is my life-long friend who wraps up his visit tomorrow. Take those items – plus a good sized rain … Read More

After a most interesting week of vision problems – which I won’t waste you time with, except to say that Peoplenomics will not be deterred easily and things are in “critical mode” right now – what we have this weekend is about as close to a “fork in the road” for markts as you’ll find. … Read More

First a few comments about the Market and Peoplenomics. There WILL be a Peoplenomics report tomorrow, right on schedule.  And that is where we get to the “news.”  But let’s talk money first In tomorrow’s report, assuming the market stays on its present trajectory (90-minutes before the close) we should close right at the trend … Read More

I thought – long as I’m going in for surgery this morning – that I would do a comparison of how the process works now, as compared with 25 years ago when I had my first cataract surgeries. The first time around, having cataracts out while young was a two-part process. The first was the … Read More

Sorry to announce that our usual fun and frivolity will be displaced until Monday because of events of a medical nature. Because of this little “medical emergency” Ures truly will not go into the usual pre-open  market comment, and more importantly, NO PEOPLENOMICS REPORT ON SATUDAY.  Sunday if I can. Things should be back to … Read More

Jeez,  you talk about a target-rich news morning… The big Distraction du Jure is the Russian fly-by of an American destroyer in the Baltic Sea. The US destroyer was close enough to Russian home soil that fighters overflew the USS Donald Cook at low altitude.  Photos released by the Navy, such at the one at … Read More

With a house guest this week, what has turned into a terrible chest cold, and a million other demands, I would not have expected one of my I-Max-like dreams to show up.  Just don’t have time for one right now. Apparently, dreams don’t care and operate on their own schedule, and not mine. So entered … Read More
