Inflection Week Ahead

On multiple levels, the markets are poised for a major turn over the next month.  We get into some “nimbleness training” as events across the board are ready to “hit the blender.” The checklist for this morning includes Biden’s suspect trip to the Middle East, and odd trading patterns in our ChartPack. Then there’s the … Read More

Reason on Edge: Biden’s Jobs Problem, Failure of the EU?

Other than pondering UFOs and our ongoing search for “the Key” to Reality, not much else really matters in this life. Unless you’re talking about making some serious money.  That never goes out of style, for long. As long-time readers appreciate, we have long postulated that a massive market decline in the pending economic collapse … Read More

Two Job Numbers to Chew, Guidestone Marker Question?

Since our forte is economics around here, how about we begin with the two job numbers hitting the Street when the bell sounds? The first one out was the Challenger Job Cuts report. “Job Cuts Surge Up 57% From May 2022, 59% From June 2021 U.S.-based employers announced 32,517 cuts in June, a 58.8% increase from … Read More

The Canals of Earth (and Mars) II

Who needs Russia and Ukraine when drought is coming and famine is in the wings?  As so often happens, our political tools in office are trying to fix the barn after it’s on fire and the horses are gone. The world needs water – because without it, kiss off crops and light the fuse of … Read More

One Holiday from Collapse?

We all love the good times and friends that gather over the Fourth.  But, the opening ponders, with a (*violent) Fourth now behind us, are whether America is only one holiday away from collapse becoming widespread and undeniable? The next holiday ahead is Labor Day which falls on Monday September 5, 2022. Three numbers to … Read More

Holiday Gearing – A Lament about Future

Fourth of July was expected to be a BTC bloodbath, by some.  However, as of early this morning, we’re still in the “Running of the Shorts.” Since I woke up early (hobby and office work here) I’ve seen BTC climb from just barely over $19,000 to just a bit under $20,000.  For the life of … Read More

ShopTalk Sunday: Love of Acetylene

Some while back, I mentioned that I’d picked up the Chineseum welder model similar to what’s on Amazon – like this one ($28) – which is “similar-to” the very reliable Smith Little Torch which – at $155 – is a shade more expensive. Before my review of the offshore entry, a few words contexting things for … Read More

Crap Metrics of 2022

Event Arrows have been loosed that will shape the balance of 2022 and form our entry into 2023.  We need to look closely at some of these. The Fourth of July has always been a good time to kick back, assess the year to date, and see where the “arrow of events” is pointing for … Read More

Reality of BTC Collapse – Debatable Tulips

A former colleague of mine suggested – shortly after BTC came out – that I accept BTC as payment for our Peoplenomics.com insider newsletter.  At the time, BTCs were rolling along at a dime, or so. “No thanks.  The whole idea of a zero utility, purely made-up, and digitally dependent currency – which will run … Read More

BTC Breaks Under $19,000 – Personal Income Fairytale

I told you so! Here’s what we posted Monday: We already know this all ends badly. The reason is simple:  The Wave 1 down whacked BTC from the $61,411 range (November around when stocks peaked, too) down to around $35,070 January 22. thousand.   Rounding-off (because of insufficient coffee to deal with decimals) call it a … Read More

“Second Sight,” Apnea, and DNA (Part 2)

Dreams, probability clouds, and sleep apnea is not the most mainstream economics and stock trading discussion you’ll run into, today. But it’s been an interesting journey following up on the many research forks apparent in our last discussion on point.  Which was Prophecy, Cardiac Insufficiency, and Hypoxia. Today, we’ll be looking into additional data and … Read More

Troubled Tuesday: BRICs Thrown, Trade, and Elliott

Remember the movie, Jaws?  Where that dandy theme rumbles as you can almost see the mega shark?  Cue that up on the hi-fi because, brothers and sisters, the world has changed overnight. BRICs Thrown in WW III Specifically, the World (and drivers for WW III) became clear a couple of days ago when the story … Read More

Somewhat Durable – as Ukraine Prospects Dim

The Economic Outlook around here hasn’t drifted much over the weekend.  The reasonably projected future forecast here seems to look like: A slow onset of higher inflation that will crater the economy beginning in Q3 and dragging into 2023 which is likely to become recognized as a Depression by the middle of next year. A … Read More
