Read ’em and weep – we keep telling you what’s ahead. Things like…: Falling Markets Election Woes Climate Change Nonsense Time for a little “Personal Accounting” and Reality Checking this morning. (Can you tell I’m sick of the same-old stories, refried?) Let’s start with Falling Markets and Election Woes and see how that outlook from … Read More
After taking one “on the chin” Friday, and to our way of looking at things heading down to the S&P 2500 region sooner rather than later (*Not financial advice, just ole grumpy moi) we ought to have a “partial” day. Down a hundred at some point? That’s because America, Land of the Brave, is also … Read More
I want to continue where we left off in Saturday’s comments – asking how you plan to get around if/when SHTF. Honestly, I’m partial to bicycles for a very simple reason: You can get around with a lot less effort on a bike than you can on foot. Think of it this way: When you … Read More
A number of items on our agenda this morning: I’m ticked about some misleading things about the market that made headlines this week. Silly financial press! My consigliere has pushed-out more numbers on the arriving cap of state and local tax write-offs impacting in 2019 for Tax year 2018.. And we are working through what … Read More
Regardless of whether the stock market goes up for another year, or two, the economic reality of what congress has done to this once Great Nation financially will have to come home to roost. For today, we still have time to prepare for (whatever) and it’s a useful exercise to think through your personal transportation … Read More
It is too early in the day to offer an “I told you so…” BUT I did and it’s not to early to remind you of our outlook for the markets to pick up speed to the downside in coming weeks. Today is the first “hot day” I mentioned back on October 26th. The next … Read More
I want to share with you a point or two that I somehow didn’t get around to making when I was on CoastToCoastAM with George Noory last night: The main one is all this “Divisiveness” that is plaguing America right now is an economics-driven function. Believe me, you’ll understand a lot more about “fake news” and … Read More
Ure’s comments on ELECTION AND ECONOMY for George Noory CoastToCoastAM listeners tonight. View: The election changed nothing. 1 Where we are in History America has undergone sequential social – technological eras. We’re at the end of a change era now./ Election doesn’t change that. On founding we were a “human powered” expansionist country. At the … Read More
Thankfully, the election is done and over – and in a second a few comments about it. But, there are bigger fish to fry. As we predicted Saturday, it looks like the first move post-election will be up (through Friday) as the market fires up this morning. More important? We have been modeling drivers for … Read More
With the elections behind us (but will the headlines really ever stop about them?), I’ll be on CoastToCoastAM tonight with George Noory, if everything goes according to plan. One of the topics – other than the obvious about the economy and our curious way of looking at it – will be my latest book, Psychocartography: … Read More
This being Election Day, we will pass on our usual semi-conservative (yet financially-responsible) views in order that you can safely read the column in a polling place without the gendarmes being alerted. We’ll also leave our clothes on, unlike some attention-starved wannabe’s.. After all the hype and BS about this being the “most important election … Read More
With nothing particular in the way of economic news for an eye-opener, we find the last-minute election antics to be gloriously amusing. Before we get into some reasonable thinking about the possible outcomes, let’s consider the hype because, honestly, there’s not much else going on today… Let’s begin with this gem: “Georgia Looking Into Attempted … Read More
Sure – the lights will be on forever. Until they are not. And – should that day come due to (pick as many as you please)… Major earthquake Windstorm, tornado of hurricane Attack on the SCADA level of power systems Sabotage by anti-American terrorists Financial meltdown… (the list continues) Script-kiddies… …One of the most useful … Read More
