Although much over-hype accompanied the coronation of Joe-To-Save-Us this week, the stock futures were becoming skeptical by early Friday. With good reason. Some of the tech sector high-flyers – like Tesla – were showing down 1.3 percent in the pre-opening. And worst of all, the Federal Reserve Money Stocks confessional (H.6) could be seen as … Read More
Columns lately have been a little on the namby-pamby side. But, now that the dust is settling in D.C. as another load of dirt comes in, two issues scream. Trump Saved Crooked Media The first is the pending lack of “news” in America. Depending on where you consume your daily dose of hypnotic repetition, the … Read More
By far, the most popular book I’ve ever written has been “How to Live on $10,000 a Year, Or Less…” Issued first back in 2005. Thing is, I haven’t updated the book since 2013. That was the 4th edition. I reckon it’s time to update it again. Thinking – and facts on the ground have … Read More
This is a little complicated – future directed – and certainly not an optimistic outlook for the period ahead. But, it’s something to think about. So we will approach it stepwise this morning beginning with Futures pricing… Market prices are a function of several variables, as everyone knows, so it’s useful on a “Monday on … Read More
Story that has been heavily played – on sites like Drudge – is under the headline “Misinformation dropped dramatically the week after Twitter banned Trump” when it appeared in the Stamford Advocate. The source of the story, however, is the Washington Post, which, if you haven’t noticed doesn’t blame Trump for everything. It’s just I can’t remember much they haven’t blamed … Read More
A number of Peoplenomics subscribers (and a few others) have made a personal investment in auxiliary solar systems for their home. Although, it makes the power industry a bit crazy: Home solar’s contribution to the grid is an algorithmic demand management nightmare. Take our place, for example: With an existing 3.5 kw of power from … Read More
While we’re waiting to become fabulously wealthy when the market collapses, we manage to squeeze in a bit of “Saving Humanity from Itself” as well. As you should be aware, there has been a massive dump of UAP/UFO data this week from the C.I.A.’s work in the area, thanks to efforts of Glenn Greenwald at … Read More
Having grown up in a majority-Asian neighborhood, there is a certain art to Asian cooking that brings joy to the palate. In particular, this week’s Thursday afternoon dinner of teriyaki chicken. Lots of options here, depending on schedules, amount of labor you want to invest, and so on. For those on a short clock, boneless, … Read More
I suppose we ought to start with the retail data just out: Saved by the auto industry, looks like to us. (Who the hell is driving?) With CV-19 still raging – and variants popping up – should be interesting to see how the coming few months roll. Do people have anywhere left in their homes … Read More
It’s not something that most people are aware of, but it goes a long-ways toward explaining why the Dems are so anxious to bring the Trump Impeachment II to conclusion. The Former President’s Act, better known around law schools as 3 U.S.C. § 102 has been around since 1958. Here’s the part we find ourselves noodling: (3 U.S.C. § … Read More
Hardcore long wave economics on tap this morning. We will keep it short (much as I can, lol) and we’ll lay out some fascinating dates and timelines that will be shocking. A few headlines and of course this morning’s ChartPack to set the mood. But then our meat and potatoes as new research keeps us … Read More
Seldom have times been easier for an honest writer. There are so many “hot topics” around that it boggles the mind. So, still in recovery mode from our snow event, we will keep it short in order to (more importantly) “keep it warm.” Small Business Optimism Collapses National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) publishes an … Read More
Local power company had the lights on in just over 90-minutes last night. Following the big East Texas Blizzard of ’21. All the parts of the operation here that “fail-over” to backups worked fine. Lights off in the house was actually a pleasant change. Too lazy to dip into our 500 gallons of propane for … Read More
