After Pandemic coverage and ‘peachy remarks?”Mobbies: Hobbies that make money.” Sure, stocks are up – bigly – but is that really fun? Today, we look at some of the ways we have tried to make some minor “Funvestments” in life. And, having done so, I have to say while they haven’t all been winners, the … Read More
Longer than normal Peoplenomics podcast tomorrow. Today, though, it’s time to get really tactical in your prepping for Pandemic. This isn’t medical advice. Just what seems like common sense when 30-million 42-million people are now under travel restrictions and the number of cases of the novel corona virus is over a dozen in the US. … Read More
The Huge National Distraction (impeachment sham) underway in the District of Coercion is keeping more Americans from seeing the bigger picture. Since I like to write (both non-fiction AND fiction), I thought this morning’s serving of brain-stimulant should be a short FICTIONAL story that came to mind as I was doing my red-light therapy … Read More

I apologize to subscribers, as this is the type of thing that more properly belongs on our Peoplenomics site ($40-bucks a year), but there’s a time-sensitive development in the futures market this morning that is worth kicking around. If you’re not a subscriber, there are several things you need to do to keep up with … Read More
Tomorrow, one of the saddest periods of American history will begin and a sham impeachment comes to trial in the Senate. That said, there’s a lot of good that will come of it. But a fair amount of “bad” will accompany. Here’s my short-list: We will know who the RINO’s are. (Spoiler – we do … Read More
Before today’s light-hearted discussion, please – for your own health – go read “Soybean Oil Causes Genetic Changes In The Brain.” You’ll know what to do… Sometimes, in fact most of the time I daresay, prepping is more about “What’s between the ears” than anything else. Sure, it’s nice to have 6-million pounds of freeze-dried … Read More
This weekend, we venture out onto the bleeding edge of psychology. Why? Chris McCleary, who runs the National Dream Center, a project we cobbled up in 2007 or ’08 is coming for a visit. Since he has lots of degrees, we’ve got a project in mind that is frankly mind-blowing. We’ll go through it, after … Read More
It’s a math problem…although it sure looks like a meth problem, as the US markets continue to “put on the beans” as we are living through the financial analogy to “Going to Mars.” The Moon-shot point was passed a long time ago. Let’s begin with the breaking financial developments: The first is Housing Starts just … Read More
I mentioned on the Peoplenomics report Wednesday that the fellow who is probably America’s best financial astrologer, Arch Crawford, was predicting a long-lasting impact – on the order of years from an event – that would happen sometime in the past week. Well, to us, it looks like he has nailed it. On the other hand, … Read More
Been working on some ideas for artificial intelligence (AI) to distill into a spreadsheet to make investment decisions. Turns out, though, one of the most difficult things to model is how the human brain “creates” ideas. Importantly, there’s an aspect of “randomness” to it. But, since we have already evolved a model of Life as … Read More
Breaking news (although check with your checkbook, previously “broken”) here’s the latest on inflation in the Labor Department’s Cost of Surviving report just out: “The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent in December on a seasonally adjusted basis after rising 0.3 percent in November, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics … Read More
Having chased the news around in the 1960’s through 1980’s, the crap rolling-around today is mostly useless, though at times entertaining. That said, this week shapes up to be not-particularly interesting. Downright boring, in fact. The short version of what matters is this: In our 1929 Replay Scenario, we continue to edge up toward that … Read More
