Yes, I make them, too. (Especially writing at 5 AM, lol). It is the Trade Date that controls the reporting…most of the time. A reader referred me to the discussion over on the Zacks website with this juicy morsel: “In almost all cases, the trade date controls the tax-reporting year for a stock sale. That … Read More
Before Launch: Let’s do the Only Chart That Matters 2019 sure looks like a peach, don’t it? Although the market futures are showing a decline this morning, that latest crackpot theory we’ve been kicking around over on our Peoplenomics.com subscriber side (“Trading Box Theory”) offers a very short-term outlook that the market could turn turn … Read More
Last Thursday morning, before the open, I told you what we believed was in the offing: A good-sized market decline this week. Specifically, this part matters: ” And based on this (wildly delusional, incredibly speculative, and obvious whack-job) line of thinking, we anticipate the S&P 500 could trade down to 2,473.98 and (again this is … Read More
As you know, every year I try to project how the coming year will go. Ever since my discovery of a “heartbeat to the market” last summer, I’ve been waiting for the chance to apply that discovery to presenting a possible future course for the market. While I’m still working on the math and outlook … Read More
In case you missed it, I am a Oneironaut. Since the term may not be familiar to you, here’s the definition: A “oneironaut (plural oneironauts) is person who explores dream worlds, usually associated with lucid dreaming.” It is both a blessing – and a curse. The blessing part is being able to “lives two lives” while … Read More
Got yet-another crackpot view of the market that has evolved since our discovery of the “Market Heartbeat” that was laid out for Peoplenomics.com subscribers (Report 880B, “July 14, 2018: Heartbeat of the Market found! (Golem #1)“). This new theory says the recent spike in selling could break and the markets could recover between now and early … Read More
December Global Financial Wresting‘s (DGFW) feature match this week involves a handful of powerful central bankers in a tag-team fiasco against a lone, overweight (and looking like a CHD victim waiting to happen) old man in a red suit. Who do you bet on? After being sent to their corners for the weekend following what … Read More
I didn’t mean to sound “preachy” (if I did) in the Saturday part one of this series, but have to say, it’s the way I really feel. Once you have enough money to buy more than you can ever consume before the worms show up, there’s time to look around and ask: Have I walked … Read More
A simple enough question. Not so simple to answer. As the markets are lining up for a potential “hell week” to come, what with the Fed meeting and all, we look mainly at the charts today and ponder what “news” will come along to fill-in the picture so the ‘sheep’ won’t get the pitchforks and … Read More
“What the hell is “cat balancing” and how does this relate to prepping?” Therein lies our story-line this weekend. We are focused on environmental balance. That’s because prepping for the “ultimate worst-case” may morph into all about living on the land. To do this, you need the observing, understanding and the subtle manipulation skills to live … Read More
Thursday I tossed out a projection that according to a new model I’ve constructed, the market was “due” to head down – and seriously so – in the next week. In fact, I put an S&P number under 2,500 on the table with a target date of next Friday. That might be aggressive, but despite … Read More
Finance is part statistics, part floating craps game, part mafiosa, part leap of faith and so on. When I wrap all of these things up into a spreadsheet (and call ity Golem II, it suggests that the market going forward may work out something like this… As always, this is not financial advice. What we … Read More
Once again, our unconventional way of thinking has produced some useful ideas to ponder. This first is “how does government control people who might lose faith in depreciating money?” A well-discussed concept here. In addition to pointing out how Social Credits are just another control scam, we will also be revealing a fine chart of … Read More
