Let’s begin with who Joe’s tax and spend plan will hit hardest. New York, California, New Joisey. and Howahya? Reasonable (relatively speaking) states include Alaska, Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. If America was really honest about taxes, the federal tax code of 73,954 pages long, with each carved out by crooks for … Read More
How far will this likely Wave 1’s wave iv take us into rally land before we fall back to Monday lows (next week?)? Our Aggregate Index closed Thursday at 39,230.21…which (at 7 points) is a “close enough” for us: OK, the rally looks like it will continue on up this morning. 39472.6 on the early … Read More
A bit of a long woo-woo tale this morning, but incredibly useful in understanding the world. Thus, in addition to a look at Retail Sales just out, the new jobless filings, and a few other headlines, we will spend some interesting time in Ure’s World of Woo-Woo. First: The Retail Sales May I have the … Read More
Getcherass outa-bed and hoptuit! Enough of this fenagling around the house and rat killing! Time to get out of bed and go make (or destroy) something. I’ve decided on the latter. Because, as mentioned in the Monday column, looks to me like the price of lumber is out of slumber, so with kids in schools … Read More

Seasonality Matters September is almost traditionally one of the worst-performing months for the stock market. It is up there – in … Read More
Whew! Week is off to a weird start – since most of this morning is Adventures in Wo0-Woo. 90-minutes to the opening, the Dow was down over 100 but that’s totally understandable. No one really knows what the f**k is going on, anymore. Americans’ optimism about country’s direction over next year drops nearly 20 points … Read More
Score another one for woo-woo. Not only that, but we see Joe Bidenista’s going after the nation’s rail freight system in what sure has the look of pseudo-nationalizing to us. So open those borders, scream against equality with “specialness” and keep your head down. The printing presses are rolling and the Air Bridge over Depression … Read More
We’ll get to this morning’s dollop of daily data droppings in a second. But first thing up is an important reader “heads-up” on how to read the pending UFO report. Consider yourself having dropped into Ure’s Old Man Lab in the woods for a “quickie briefing” on trans-dimensional Physics. Which is what the report is all about, whether … Read More
We do some mighty strange stuff around here. One of which – and we’ve been updating at least weekly since the Internet bubble suffered a blow-out in 2001-2003 – is comparing the present day to the last major collapse. In our work, we’re going into this week (equivalent to Nov. 12, 1930) from here: As you … Read More
The Suitcase Between Your Ears. This is not a “warm and fuzzy” book. BUT it will force you to come to terms. Not only with Death – we all go there, eventually. We’ll focus on the opportunities that surround us in Life. As the “method” school of acting wonders, then “What’s my motivation?” Dandy question … Read More
Not our objective to get into the “Doom Porn” business. Rather, we suffer the illusion of remaining rational while the world of zombies comes along… Frightening Chart Having “invented” our Aggregate view of markets in the rubble of the 2000-2003 Internet Bubble blow-down, and enjoyed some profits using it in the 2009 Housing Bubble bottom, … Read More
We have gone from a low-interest Monday to a “Things get interesting Tuesday” with events over the past 24. Let’s begin the morning roll with: Trade Wreck People – mainly being sheep – are “conditioned” to thinking charts that go UP are telling us good news. But when comes to the Trade deficit, no, they … Read More
Woo-Woo or Ultra-Science? That’s the Question. It has been popular in American politics of late to diss all manner of disagreeable and still “information-controlled” alleged facts as “Conspiracies.” To this, the Denying Party then proclaims that ALL Conspiracies are Wrong.
