Oh, my. Reader Kirk caught Mr. Ure’s half-blind, 3/4 stupid math error Monday. The correct answer is the market Aggregate is up 3.3367% from the all-time highs set (and this time I looked up the date:) Week of April 10, 2015. About here, had I been elected Divine Ruler of the Planet, one of my … Read More
WTF? Hang on, bub. Simple stuff, really: What it means (for those familiar with Elder Futhark runes), is that our symbol du jour today would be the Fehu. Which approximates cattle or great wealth. Neander bling? Uh…well…yes. There was a time before E-Trade…. Tomorrow, ahead of a Fed decision on rates Wednesday (no change) we expect … Read More
Lynch mobs are back. Only, they are the new, improved, and most importantly “digital” portable lynch mobs. Only thing is, they are not so neatly labeled. It’s blurred by the media…perhaps on purpose. But upon reflection, new kind of business model has been spawned by America. Not a healthy one, just a new one. (Continues … Read More
Yeah, the stock market is at record highs. Not unexpected, and from here we may have even more upside ahead. But, there is an ugly geopolitical mess half-way around the world: Korea. And the task this morning is to look at ways to possibly make a buck, or save some, when that whole thing “blows … Read More
I don’t often share Peoplenomics.com content on the UrbanSurvival side of thing, but sometimes when we get it right…and timely…as BTC’s crashed to under $3,000 each this morning before the “buy the dippers” came in… We also said: “Meantime, we’re not alone in our assessment of Bitcoin. “Jamie Dimon Slams Bitcoin as a ‘Fraud’ – … Read More
Yeah. I know. “Last thing you need, Ure, is another damn hobby…” Admittedly, between Elaine and I, we’ve been through a few of them. Most recently, I’ve been taking a break every forty-minutes and hitting either the treadmill or the weight machine for 10-minutes of “high intensity training” on the theory that I’ll live long. … Read More
We have been holding our breath for the market to hit one of our long-projected highs. To be sure, we got there Wednesday (picture in a second) but I would have liked to have seen it faster. Like a month ago. This is one of those “big uglies” in economics that no one likes to … Read More
I’ve been looking at the calendar a lot lately. Coming up sooner than ever, it seems, on “the holidays.” In Texas, holidays include the opener of the bow season for deer, opening of the youth season for deer (where an amazing number of 6-7 year olds are leased and immediately become expert shots with a … Read More
I touched on this morning’s topic on the UrbanSurvival site Tuesday. Where will the high for this market hit? This morning the details. You see, it raises very interesting technical questions: Do Elliott Wave principles apply to Aggregated Market data, for example? And in our Focus section: A comparison of the 1929 stock bubble run-up … Read More
We have been delighted this morning (since 4 AM!) to have found an upcoming “area of agreement” between two very interesting wave counts. As you may know, we have a spreadsheet on the Peoplenomics.com subscriber site that we call the “brainamp.xls” What this little gem does is it lets you put in any two points … Read More
I came in from the shop, where I’ve been going through the woodpile. As I explained last week, this is not something to be taken lightly. There are now four kinds of wood in the Ure household. One is scheduled for construction projects. This wood is generally, or more feet in length, free of nails, … Read More
The headlines are an odd assortment this morning: One of the big ones features the Dow showing a 119 point rally in the works, per the futures, as we hit the pixels. But beneath it all, we see some signs of weakness not to be under-estimated. While it’s too early to talk about damage from … Read More
193 pages. 181 footnotes. 4-weeks of every waking minute outside of Urban and Peoplenomics. And now the BIG problems begin. Dimensions Next Door will not be ready for proofreading for a couple of more weeks because the book laid out some directions to potential intellectual property (patents) and I need to get them done and … Read More
