In today’s exciting episode, we answer two important questions. The first is: “What is the impact of a major hurricane on stock markets? ” We are guided by some historical data. The second is “What will happen in the market over the rest of this week?” We’ll skip the coffee, kibbles, snivels, and drivel..Hurricane recovery … Read More
Not yet in the MSM/SnoozeMedia: My consigliere pointed this out to us: The South Texas Nuclear Project Electric Generating Station (also known as STNP, STPEGS, South Texas Nuclear Project), is a nuclear power station southwest of Bay City, Texas, United States. The STNP occupies a 12,200-acre (4,900 ha) site on the Colorado River about 90 miles … Read More
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, we are set to get a thorough soaking over the next couple of days “up the hill” from the Houston hell hole. When the weather turns bad, something I learned from living on a sailboat for more than a decade, is food never tastes so good as in stormy … Read More
America is delusional – but worse, the ailment has spread to our formerly respected news media. This come at an inconvenient time, too: Some 30,000 people are likely homeless from Hurricane Harvey. Evidence (again) of our national breakdown came this morning as I hit Google’s search tools to find out a few things. As expected, … Read More
We kept in touch with Oilman2 over the weekend because he’s down in the Houston area. We like to have eyes & boots on the ground and offer to help, if we can. As it turns out, though, he didn’t have any water problems at his home in The Woodlands area. That’s just north of … Read More
Maybe it’s the weather. Or, having my UrbanSurvival website go down on Friday and spending from 8:15 in the morning until about 2:15 in the afternoon fixing that – all while having contact lenses issues from all the computer-time. And then writing until 4 PM to finish today’s report… Whatever the reason, though, Ures truly … Read More
Oh, they don’t come out and say they are dialing it back now. But sometimes, facts speak louder the words. We flipped to the weekly Fed. H.6 Money Stocks report, updated last night, and see that in the three month window ending June 30, the annual rate of M1 (cash and demand deposits) was going … Read More
Back in our “sailing days” when UrbanSurvival was young, and we were living on our sailboat in San Francisco (video), we would go out into “Hurricane Alley” on a regular basis and do the “Sausalito beat” to weather, up past Alcatraz, while the tour boats zigged their way around us and the big “meter” boats … Read More
It’s like chasing after unicorns, trying to get a Leprechaun to part with a pot of gold, or trying to find an honest politician: Finding the Master Key to Stock Market Profits is not a simple pursuit. That said, as we continue the computational exercises, we have come upon a promising new tool which we … Read More
There were 19-posts waiting for approval in the comment section of UrbanSurvival when I took an hour break to grab a bite of something to eat and go out to the mailbox and back. Of 19, only a couple were responsive to a post on my site. The rest, being driven by someone’s return from a promised … Read More
While we wait to see if the market can gain 200 on the Dow in 2 days left in our ATH window, we are going to have some fun this morning: One of our subscribers asked, essentially, if someone handed you a million bucks, what would you do with it? This kind of this is … Read More
In Peoplenomics tomorrow morning, I’ll give a full run-down in our ChartPack section, but for now there is a building case that the Market Top came in on August 4th. I have mentioned this previously. See the discussion on August 11th where we wondered “Is the Market Top Already In? ” Now, with a declining trend … Read More
It’s been said that even someone who has lived a so-so life has at least one good book in them. After writing several books now, my latest effort – Dimensions Next Door – has taken two quite remarkable turns. They’re the kind of thing that happens when the Universe wants you do complete something. So in … Read More
