Elections on the Titanic

Are You Pulling My Lever? Mostly useless crap in the headlines today.  We will be interested to listen to Rush Limbaugh’s show today because word is president Trump will be doing a Town Hall. Trump was on Hannity Thursday.  As usual, the press doesn’t go over his content, or bother reporting his views.  Like “Pence … Read More

90 Wasted Minutes; Expiring Money is Coming

10 Things Better Than the Debate OK…I watched it.  What a freakin waste of time.  OMG!  What would have been better? Going to bed 90-minutes earlier.  That would have had health benefits. Listening to some smooth jazz and meditating.  Although, I would have been asleep in 5… Praying.  But that would still land me sleeping … Read More

Domain Warfare

We look ahead at what could be in store for America into 2021. We obviously have a classic loss of government control over social behavior.  And maybe that’s one reason why wars are so popular over history.  Nothing like a “war to keep the peeps in line, eh?” Moreover, with a hotly contested election coming, … Read More

Paradox: Turnaround Tuesday or Blowing Higher?

Another Market Inflection Point? Several readers have asked about where the market could be headed.  The simple answer is?  “It’s almost anywhere…” You need to survey the currents and counters swirling about: This morning Jerome Powell (jefe d’ Fed ) speaks.  Markets generally “play nicey-nice” while official-speak is being dispensed. The other Fed reveals this … Read More

The Reaction Speed Diet

Want to live 30% longer?  Stick around. There is a trick hidden in plain sight which I haven’t see discussed anywhere else.

Trump, Covid, Complexity, Aging: Bait & Switch BS

Sorry for the long headline, but this is may turn into something of a long rap before we get to the latest job figures just out.  Let’s see how well the “Prince of Shorter Columns” can do on his verbal diet today, shall we? Trump Has Covid About here, I need to remind all my … Read More

Retrace Delights, Job Number Ponders

Retracements are one of the most interesting features of stock market performance.  You will see a big decline (like from Sept. 2) when people come to their senses.  Then you get often-times manic, insane rallies – like the one we have been in this week. It’s the stuff of Elliott Wave 2 bounces  – sometimes.  … Read More

The New WMDs

A couple of economic notes on data and that mess of whatever was pawned … Read More

Pre-Debate Readings

Just an advisory that we found a very interesting document that had been published about 10-days ago that had very little (liberal, left-biased) media attention.  Yet it is – in our modest view – the kind of thing that should be front and center in Chis Wallace’s questioning tonight of the (polling) front-runner Joe Biden. … Read More
