Working Sideways, Rally to Come

Although it is not a hard-and-fast rule, there is oftentimes something of an upward bias to markets in the period leading into major holidays. So, with the Fourth Of July three or four day weekend just ahead, it’s no wonder that I find myself somewhat long the market, waiting for the Big Move to the … Read More

Coping: With “Dancing Wu Li Physics”

With me focused on a new way of looking at statistics, and applying it at the gaming tables (remember that odd symbol in the dream world a while back?) I can’t think of a better discussion than the little matter of the evolving merger between physics and the world of religion slash belief sets. What … Read More

Time for a Free, Federal, Online University

Onto the battlefield of Social Delusions this morning as we take on the Higher Education Lobby.There is no reason why we – as a country –  can’t offer free, government-paid four year degrees to all citizens.  Anyone hear of “online?” Except for the simple reason that we all too often say one thing and then … Read More

Making Up Climate Change

Why, the headlines this morning are good enough that Al Gore should be flying to Phoenix right now in order to do another sales job on climate change and his friends in the carbon exchange, which was all enabled by a then-junior state senator in Illinois, back when, one Barack Obama). Here’s a headline from … Read More

Coping: Launch! of www.americanvoterboycott.org

Why would anyone spend money to launch a new website to be called www.americanvoterboycott.org? The answer is simple:  I think people are sick and tired of special interests outbidding us in local government, state offices, and in Congress. But, as I will map out this morning, we actually DO have the power to change that. … Read More

The Bitcoin Bubble’s “Great Hesitation”

A number of people have asked me privately to explain where we are in the parabolic blow-off in digimoney, especially Bitcoin. As you know, it did look like the BTCs were going to the moon, or $3,000, but then a funny thing happened. So let’s take a look at a couple of chars because there … Read More

Coping: Fictions of A Working Democracy

We need to understand that the US Congress and Senate are presently structuring their slow-motion war on the average American citizen’s private assets which will be finalized when the U.S. economic system descends into Depression shortly. That’s because in finance, as in rocketry, what goes UP usually comes Down.  And we’ve been going up since 1943. This means … Read More

Things "Preppers Usually Miss" – II

Print!!!! Fed Jamming Up Money Creation > Markets

For months we have been waiting to see how the suspected all-time-high in markets will work out for the final third of August.  Now, things are slowly resolving into focus. The stock market continues to fight something of a losing battle on an aggregated basis (which as you know is all we really care about) … Read More

Coping: Let’s Talk About this Halloween

You may remember a good while back (and it might have been on the Peoplenomics.com site) that we did a fair-sized discussion about the Taurid Meteor Shower and the very first Halloween some 15,560 years ago (approximately). This morning from remarks from another brother of the Oak Leafs, warhammer, who is similarly concerned about “what … Read More

The Return of Consumer-Super-Saturation

(This will be updated as data is released) We will have an unusually short and to the point column this morning because I have a) been coding for the past 5-hours down in the CSS levels of the new website that I mentioned in Peoplenomics Wednesday and b) I have all the parts to get … Read More

Coping: “As a Man Drinketh…”

Water, water, everywhere? We need to have a discussion guided by the writings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.  He’s the “old dead dude” who wrote in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner our theme for this morning: “Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” (continues) What … Read More

Rethinking How “News” is Organized

Heady topic this morning as we take off down a different rabbit hole.  We’re going to “re-cast the news” and get rid of some of the shrill. As you know the term “fake news” has become quite popular lately, but as we shall demonstrate (complete with a class project and new website  as time permits) … Read More
