Here’s what half a century of news reporting (and management geeking) teaches pretty clearly. When the first line of a press release begins: “To support American businesses and households, the Federal Reserve Board on Sunday announced it will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet … Read More
As you may have guessed, I got up super early Sunday because I forgot that this was “daylight time weekend.” After writing up the outdoor/yardwork and gardening adventures of Saturday, I decided it might be a good idea to “re-synch with the time change.” After a high protein breakfast (two egg tomato and cheese omelet … Read More
Someone stole an hour of our lives overnight. Running the clock forward with Daylight time which is so scammy… We don’t have a “measure, cut, join, finish” project to revel in today. Because the weather was perfect Saturday to take on the greenhouse rework. See, over the winter it grew and grew and turned into … Read More
While musing on the tragedy of Silicon Valley Bank, we were reminded by our consigliere today that indeed, the Media is the Message. As this clip on YouTube shows the problems of SPB; not SVB – but close enough… Sort of the same plot, don’tcha think? South Park Bank musta been channeling the future. Well, back … Read More
Silicon Valley Bank is likely not to be the only bank in this period to go down. Because in our work in long wave economics, for more than 20-years, the severity of economic recessions (and “depressions”) the number of failing banks in a period is a good (early) indicator as to severity. For example, in … Read More
I wrote in this morning’s column thusly: “What we MIGHT infer from such tea leaves is a decline today (to the lower trend level) and then a half-assed rally Monday. “ Bingo! What we see evolving now with about 90-minutes to the close sure looks like we have punctured the lower side of BOTH the … Read More
The End of the World is not yet at hand. Yet, if you pay close attention, you can “almost hear it” at times. Let’s start with the market knock-down Thursday which will continue into this morning according to futures prices. Our Aggregate Index approach to markets shows pretty clearly the decisive area we’ve now entered: … Read More
Been a fine, if not damn near dandy week, here in the East Texas Outback. The time of year when “green up” happens – as the wild lands look greener than Ireland. The bank balances are greening-up nicely, as well. Because we have a useful kluge of a lot of technical gibberish and simple visuals … Read More
We won’t even pretend to explain this to non-subscribers in a paragraph. But we will hint that when mushrooms appear, anything less than a ELE will be a final prepping opportunity. And we are getting ready for the Final Clicks to fulfill that. A lot of this has been covered elsewhere, such as in our … Read More
The tea and vitamin stack may get credit for this morning’s key insight. Namely that Global Collapse may be caused not by any of the “symptoms” that appear in daily news headlines. but, rather, it may arise because of inconsistent global notation (logical) systems. Shades of Logic Matter Notation as in three major sorts found in … Read More
Much to cover, but not a lot of really exciting headlines…yet. Those will be along tomorrow, when, for example, Mr. Banker – Jerome Powell – speaks. But it’s only the start of the week’s entertainment: ADP jobs Wednesday, Challenger Job Cuts Thursday, and the happily estimated federal jobs report Friday. All “What could go wrong?” … Read More
…and ceiling,, too…. The (never-ending) project of getting the guest quarters up to snuff saw the “bulk, underlying” mud go on this week: Some discussion of old construction sheetrock repairs is warranted by this (ugly, but only for now) view. When “dealing with ceiling” and a repair of this type, I like to put a … Read More
Software mirrors psychology, as we figure it. And important consideration when trying not just to sort out what the ChartPack hints at, but a whole field of research in and of itself. You see, we don’t get much training in how to use the components of mind: There’s a graphics layer, a data table view…all … Read More
