The insanity of the 1929 replay continues this morning with stocks set to open another 200 points higher by the Dow. Even more astounding is that Bitcoin is now seemingly comfortable over 11,000 – and perhaps could go to $20,000 within a month (or three) at present rates. Yes, indeed, the world is nuts, but … Read More
I hope my sources on several matters are dead-wrong, but they are usually not. So this morning I’m going to share some inputs with you and then offer up some action points both for you as well as your loved ones. First, an email from my deflationist pal Jas. You know don’t him, but his … Read More
This morning we explain how the fabled $20.5-trillion in national debt is really more like $61-trillion in debt. And since we’re in such a dandy, caring, sharing, and giving mood, we will also explain how the supposed Tax Cut passed by the Senate really screws everyone and will at far more than the MSM-hyped $1.4 … Read More
Among our many problems in the U.S. is this one involving self-delusion about the bubble of “money, government, free lunch, and public debt.” Problem’s this: At some point the free lunch will run out. This morning, Tax Reform is being outed for what it really is – just another scheme to give you a break … Read More
I was doing some house-cleaning Thursday and found a column that I’d never gotten around to posting. Since I’ll be on CoastToCoast next week, which usually brings a younger crowd wandering through, seemed like a good time to post it. I should have tossed into my earlier book, The Millennial’s Missing Manual: What School Didn’t … Read More
World’s a crazy place these days. Young people, who should be having the time of their lives, forming families, making professional investments in themselves, and achieving high states of personal excellence have mainly, as a group, downgraded themselves to phone-zombies. Shame, that. (Ref URL “Smartphone Addiction Creates Imbalance in Brain .”) To make “grown-up” finance accessible … Read More
The Ure household is nominally non-denominational. But, that doesn’t blind us to the fact that there is now – and always has been – an ongoing battle between forces of “evil” and “good.” To the point: We are seeing a number of indicators this year that are telling us in no uncertain terms, that this … Read More
Here is a question that will intrigue you if you look for any length of time at Long Wave Economics. Are there substitutes for ‘war’? If so, how would government test-bed an economic substitute? Not too many hints should be needed: Simply think Satoshi.’ The New World Order’s plan to take down the financial system … Read More
The news flow this morning is amazing. First thing out of the hopper is that Bitcoin has gone all the way to the $10,000 level. I’ve had several people tell me “Stupid old man! Bitcoin is not just a new kind of medium of exchange!” (Continues below) Well, maybe, but then again, maybe not. … Read More
This has not been a peachy week for the Ure household. Not! I have been going through one of the worst Mercury Retrogrades ever. I could almost feel this one coming two weeks back, thinking through things. A word about Mercury in Retrograde: Like other planets, the apparent motion of Mercury is usually “normal” but a few … Read More
I have been writing for nearly a year, now, about how “Obama embeds” have been throwing roadblocks up to the Trump administration at every turn. That includes liberally interpreted legal decisions on things like selective immigration policies, embeds in agencies who haven’t been replaced (or worked-around) and all those leaks. Billions and billions of leaks … Read More
Yeah, sure, the Thanksgiving turkey was amazing. But then again, so was the “turkey hangover.” We’re just not used to eating that kind of rich food around here. Until Thanksgiving, we have both been in really good shape – and while we eat meat, it’s generally not processed and it’s generally not including much wheat … Read More
This past week, I was telling you about how it seems to me that there is a distinct lack of “adventure” in America among the Millennials. Sure, life’s hard, sorting out what gender and which of umpteen programming jobs they want. But after the charts today and a few headlines, a real treat. A buddy … Read More
