For those not following the recent work here for subscribers, the short version is that we have been hard at work on building a spreadsheet “Golem” in order to better advise our trades. While we are not releasing our underlying spreadsheet, we have revealed more than enough information so that someone modestly skilled in the … Read More
Years back in my Major Market News Director’ing days, I saw lots of market research about what people wanted to know about when the news came on. Some of the thought-leaders at the time included the Associated Press and (Frank N.) Magid and Associates -both of which are still around today. Back-when, we learned that … Read More
When the idea of X.10 home automation came out, I was lukewarm to the idea of using computer technology to make living “lazy” – as in “turn the lights on for me” lazy. When I went through the X.10 commands list, there were obviously some things that would be nice to have around the ranch. … Read More
We think Google should kill all Android phones in Europe and tell the EU to piss off. Details follow… If you are a shareholder in Google, how does it feel to have the Hoodlums of Brussel’s (the “sprouts” of socialism) declare themselves to be your new more than equal partners? That’s what most commentary on the … Read More
The American Left has a serious problem: They are running out of “shock talk” to spew. Allow me to show you a few facts – and then how the Left (and liberal types) are trying to bury their terrifying shortage of shocking terms. First a couple of identical news searches to make the point: On Bing’s … Read More
A golem is something like an automaton (or more correctly: an animated anthropomorphic being) in old Yiddish literature. Sounds like a spreadsheet to us! In the modern sense, it may evolve into yet another trading tool designed to provide additional information to the serious (OK, greedy, then…) trader in search of a dollar. Today – … Read More
Since you may be young – and haven’t studied either long wave economics – or history – except to pass a test, perhaps – you may not be laughing at the Digital Mob Rule which appears now on an Internet (and social media) near you. The Constitutional Government of these United States is under attack, … Read More
We don’t often talk about prepping as related to “water safety” but a phone call this week not only caused my hair to stand on end, but also spontaneously combust! Some people we know were planning a boat-ride. It’s summer and while fun, there is a tremendous amount of prepping that goes into even an … Read More
We begin this “summit week” with a few notes about the online digital revolution that’s underway. What we shorthand as The Webolution. For new readers, there are now two governments in most countries of the world. A constitutional government (old paradigm) and an online government (new paradigm). The difference is simple: Constitutional governments can run … Read More
I have (like I need it) another new hobby. OMG, what now? Turns out on eBay, there are all kinds of now-defunct magazines available on CD and DVDs for a reasonable price. I think in the last month I’ve picked up $150 worth of such collections. Great sources of ideas and in-depth knowledge lost on the … Read More
I do not know when I have been more excited about something: In our decade-plus search to find new ways to analyze stock market data we have come up with a regular heartbeat to the market. In today’s report, we not only tell you how to calculate this heartbeat yourself, with detailed Microsoft Excel instructions, … Read More
Pardon the overdose of “down-home-ness” but sometimes you have to unplug from the messy data flow – which lately has been running like Class 5 whitewater rapids – and just “be one with the charts.” Fortunately, lacking any other kind of self-introspection capability, I stare at them day-in and day-out. This is a chart of … Read More
Reader Note: We turned the ad flow down so there should be fewer of those full page splash ads on phones. Also, we got rid of some other problems so the site should be back to fast and stable now and loading fairly fast. Let me know if you find anything broken! I’ll skip the … Read More
