Before we get into it, a short story about firefighting because it sets the table for this morning’s outlooks. Back when he was still alive, I asked my dad “When you go to a fire, when do you make the call for back-up. Like calling a second response to a house fire?” His explanation was … Read More
It’s not a trivial question, not by any stretch. In an age of “instant anything” where we can buy anything our heart desires (and get free shipping with Prime) the question is intense. The real answers, however, are quite elusive and, to a large extent, age-dependent and situational. So this morning some “hybrid-thinking” where we … Read More
CPI data in a moment. But first, some long-term economic context so this all falls into place. The market was down again yesterday and one of the reasons is the Trump “hard ball on trade” ploy is (predictably) not working out well. We can sense this in how the Chinese are playing their long game. … Read More
“Time to Cat…” A pleasant late-summer idiom: Cats have the good sense to sleep 12-16 hours a day. Human’s don’t. We seem compelled to get up, eat three (or more) meals, and waste tons of effort on worry. Which explains why, Zeus the Cat (our chief critic, grammarian, and editor) doesn’t trade markets. Alleging myself … Read More
Before my surgery this week, I did a lot of research and study of old technology including that found in the Bible – research that has been ongoing for some time – in an effort to reverse-engineer some practical healing technology My friend, Chris Tyreman (of The Chronicle Project) did a tremendous amount of work … Read More
With a hernia surgery this week, inquiring minds wanted to know: “Can we cheat a bit on the recovery end?” So off into research. None of what is offered here is medical advice. It is, however, a worthwhile line of inquiry. So the next time you face a major health issue, rather than signing into … Read More
Some comments this week encouraged me to put together a short retrospectiveg piece for today that is elegant and simply demonstrates how a World Class Super Power has been infiltrated, and indeed subverted, by agents of globalism and foreign powers over the past 45- years.. Take 5-minutes and take a listen to this from 1974: … Read More
Thank God it’s Friday, huh? Hernia surgery Tuesday was not my idea of a “good time.” But, like any other “lemon” handed to us in Life, we can complain about it being sour or we can make lemonade. My “lemonade” offering will come tomorrow on the subscriber side (Peoplenomics.com) where I go through a long … Read More
We have too damn much news in this country. ‘Cept it’s something else. And that being so, you have to realize, there’s often a lag between reality of the here & now and what the news aggregator sites say. Machines do a crappy job of being current. Day 2 after hernia surgery and I couldn’t … Read More
Ouch! Day one after hernia surgery and a new idea hits: We’re looking at a “Trump Policy” for our websites. Don’t panic. I’m exploring aa proposed policy and putting out some ideas for subscriber-only for comment because they are really who we serve. There are only a few hundred of them. Point is, I want … Read More
After a 767 point Dow decline yesterday, it looks like the futures are turning around and we may see a bounce today. But the truth is, we may not be out of the woods and I will show you one THEORY as to why. Too early to trust happy-talk stories like Futures rebound after Wall … Read More
No, you can’t blame Donald Trump for the shooting in El Paso this weekend, nor can he be blamed for the one in Ohio, either. The facts, as they come out, make it clear that the shooter’s “manifesto” was not linked to Trump but to decades of Congressional inaction. And, though it will make them … Read More
Yeah, I know: Why not focus on Hong Kong? Can you do anything about it? On the other hand… The risk of a pandemic global people-killer is not something we like to think about. The good news, however, is that there is definitely a lot we can do about them. Which we’ll get to after … Read More
