I suppose you’re wondering what a high “personal noise level” is? Let’s take it from the top: Although it might be more enjoyable for some, the world we live in (more or less together) is a 100% analog place. To make matters more confusing, we’re trying to pretend that it’s a partly digital place. As … Read More
This is really a grand game. Ures truly take about a new car’s worth of dough, throw it into short-side (to make money when the market go down) buying Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s) just before the Global Mood Shifts. Our modest goal is to improve the timing accuracy of the systems described on the subscriber … Read More
Some discussion this morning about UV protection for your eyes from your computer screen. I’m not so sure the “wearing out” (displacement) of my first left eye’s intraocular implant wasn’t due to tons of UV light. You know, when a cataract comes out, a huge yellow filter is removed and a ton more UV gets … Read More
Maybe…maybe not. But this morning we game out how the mesh of Chinese regional interests, the attacks on Trump, and eye the crazy markets with suspicion. And as Spain cracks down on the Catalans, we wonder what’s ahead for freedom in the corporate world. Bean up and let’s roll. More for Subscribers ||| SUBSCRIBE NOW! … Read More
Sure, sure, the headline on The Drudge Report today may be confusing, if not downright baffling to some. “BUSHOBAMA SLAM STATE OF NATION! ” Unfortunately, those who have read the distillation of Professor Carroll Quigley’s work, Joseph Plummer’s savory Tragedy and Hope 101: The Illusion of Justice, Freedom, and Democracy, can see only all too … Read More
I hate to intrude on the sham and shambles of football, and all the other seasonal fall stuff going on, but in just a few weeks, the clocks will return to where God meant to set them and life will roll into Winter. So this morning, a “thinking-ahead” piece so you can get a head-start … Read More
It looks to me like the “K3” formation in the markets may have completed yesterday with that smoking Dow rally which left the headline average 160 points higher by the close. But on inspection, around mid morning (the trade chit says I went short (SDOW Executed @ $24.2765 10/18/17 | 10:41 AM ET), it looked to me … Read More
You remember my deflationist pal Jas Jain? The fellow who went long bonds from the late 1990’s and has done very well as the Long Wave has done well for him? Well, he looks at things a little differently than most – perhaps because as a multiple-patent holder in DSP, you have to think new … Read More
A subscriber asked a damn fine question in response to one of our columns. “I’m confused. Reagan overcame the worst economy with the highest interest rates I have seen in my lifetime. And started the biggest economic boom I have seen in my lifetime. Reaganomics worked extremely well for a very long time! “ No, … Read More
We have an idea what to expect in coming years, thanks to the presidency of Herbert Hoover. Oftentimes, we have drawn parallels between Donald Trump and Hoover – because both face transitions from runaway serial bubbles to “normalcy” – and the transitions include long wave economic cycle lows. We are likely, in my view, just … Read More
We get a ton of email around here – and there are some that offer outstanding ideas. Take, for example, this note from a long-time Peoplenomics subscriber who sent us this: “Wow, George! This year you have given me two fundamentally useful recipes for organizing life. The first was the article about aircraft mechanics organizing … Read More
No telling for sure what will happen this week, but we have some benchmarks we’d sure like to see. For one, with Bitcoin at $5,700+ this morning, we would like to see it hit the upper target we put in Saturday’s report. That would be especially cool if it happened within a day or two … Read More
No, Elaine and I aren’t splitting the sheets…we’re just as (or more) in love & lust than when we got hitched almost 18-years back. But Marriage is over and Mergers have replaced marriage globally. That’s what we got to talking about this weekend: The whole notion of marriage going by the wayside. So, maybe in our … Read More
