Just too much going on to ignore fresh developments in CryptoLand. Bye-bye to some long-sought down-time. Developments at the Federal Reserve in research beg for analysis and commentary. So here we go. On the back burner, for now, is our Big Project – which I hope to have ready for Labor Day Weekend. It just … Read More
Besides some fresh econ data for traders to consider, the Threat Board has changed in several important ways in the last 24-hours. But the biggest and least-covered change has come from the Federal Reserve. Fed: Hiding the Sausage? The Feder Reserve has made what seems like an innocuous change to financial reporting of its activities. … Read More
Today, we serve a nutritious “full meal deal” for your brain: On the ultra-rational side, we have a warm slice of government data. However, with an election just 75-days away, use of facts is discretionary. For the middle-brain, we have an Anagram due out at 10 Eastern. And for the empathic/right-brain thinkers, a couple of … Read More
Building’s on fire. Fire department has been called. All safe? No…not if….. the exits have been sealed and you’re still inside. And in a sense, that’s where millions of Americans are finding themselves. And strangely, they can give thanks: Their jobs have disappeared. Thanks Virus. They’re not as confident in their money holding value: Thanks … Read More
California has become a “land of woes” here lately – moreso than usual. First, there are record weather extremes and that’s led to rolling blackouts. Though today, it looks like the power will be semi-stable. Even as its reported that California narrowly avoids more rolling blackouts; governor orders investigation. Secondly, California is eyeing a … Read More
Those not lucky enough to know someone “Huna” have “missed the boat” in a manner of speaking. Huna is sort-of like a religion but it’s more a “Way” of being. One of its cornerstones is a concept called Pono. “Pono” offers that “Effectiveness is the measure of Truth.” Important this week not to confuse politics … Read More
Another scorcher coming up here in East Texas. With all the hype and BS about “climate change” we should be in the middle of a desert by now. But, lo and behold, just two days of 100+ temps likely this summer – and that’s counting today. This is a first couple of weeks of August … Read More
You can almost taste the changes in the air. An election coming up. The Post Office, of all things, has become a key pawn. A massive change in how society operates and interacts is pressed by a disease. A global sense of “peak everything.” And a collapse of millennium duration social norms. All of it … Read More
We will be focusing in tomorrow’s Peoplenomics report on some of the key “points of confusion” in the modern world. It’s really silly when you think about it: Humans are the only species I’ve heard of claiming there are more than two basic genders – and a basic 2X2 matrix of relationships. Aye, but these would … Read More
Yeah, something of a directionless market in the early futures slog today. With good reason, too. The Big Picture Sucks Before we drop this week’s new unemployment claims and the Ex-Im prices, a bit of context is useful here because you need to see how delicate America’s financial future is, at this point. The biggest … Read More
Fresh CPI data, the UK slides into recession, liberal “gush” about Kamala. Then part two of our plan-ahead piece on aging. Totally full plate this morning. (Like I need another full plate, lol.) Somewhere in here’s we’ll also review our Aggregate Index market charts and ask some questions about gold’s decline. Coffee and speed-reading? Welcome … Read More
Let’s see here: Biden is playing for time. Trump’s in trouble – Secret Service secured the White House because of gunfire (outside) – We just passed 20-million cases of CV-19. And, oh year, the federal budget is a train wreck due to massive making up of money. Soared through 26 1/2-trillion dollars now. Think tanks, … Read More
It’s always a “hard choice” come Monday. After a full day off – the only one I afford myself – it’s always a difficult decision whether to write a column that would do a presidential briefer proud. Or, whether to focus instead on the practical matters of life. Even more tempting, as we shall pursue … Read More
