A lot of so-called futurists are out on statistical limbs once again, prediction five-digit highs for BTCs and much more. We also have the usual herd of newsletter writers (some claiming past work with government agencies) making lots of other projections about where markets will head next. Around here, we tend to sit back and use … Read More
Oh, boy…this will be complicated, but follow along. As you may know, I have been working on increasing my PK ability in order to do a little better at gambling. And this led to this really interesting book about gaming and learning how to rock the house. (continues) But where the book got interesting was … Read More
More on this tomorrow but action in the bond market seems to support the view that a further decline – while possible – may not be in the cards. Accordingly, I closed out my short position having made enough money for a (cheap) dinner and a movie, lol. This is NOT investment advice, but rather … Read More
A lot of people spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about “conventional” prepping. And while that is often a good thing, it can also be one huge distraction that will keep you from making maximum money in this lifetime… Last week I posted my latest stock trade publicly – something I don’t usually do. You … Read More
This being a Monday and all, no point in getting too serious yet about all the nonsense and foolishness around the world. Instead, let’s talk about Airplanes and Ham Radio. Far more interesting pastimes that simply trading stocks and making money. Besides, you can’t trade markets on the weekend. (continues) The first note is about aircraft … Read More
Got food? Water? Dandy first-aid kit? A lifetime supply of toi8let paper? Cooking surface (like a rocket stove)? Foraging books? Sleeping bags? Serious walking shoes? Exit/bug-out plans? Food rotation plans? Sprouting seeds? Manual and magneto-running garden tools that are EMP proof? Couple of solar panels, batteries, inverters, shortwave radio? Ham radio gear, communications plan, guns, … Read More
Normally, I would post this as a subscriber update on the www.peoplenomics.com site, but I will post to both in order we are all on the same page. I took out a small short position today against the Dow on the theory (as we have discussed many times) that the NASDAQ/techs lead the way. My … Read More
As we dutifully suffered through the Comey debacle (no smoking gun, just interminable amounts of repeated innuendo and BS) there was one part of the jokestimoney that stood out to a sore thumb to us. Remember the part where Comey went for the “Rid me of this troubled priest” quote? If you missed it, scroll … Read More
I have to say, one of the reasons I enjoy Oilman2‘s comments so much is that he thinks a lot like me… Smart guy…but prefers the doing to the standing around talking about it. The accomplishment of the theory, not the exercise of ego so common. So when he sent us this report on Idiopolis, … Read More
While there is much hoopla, rearranging of television schedules, and endless media hype today over the upcoming testimony of former FBI boss James Comey, one of the major things to do when the mass media is busily making a mass (sic) of things is to look for the more important news in background. It’s been an … Read More
Unconventional thinking. That’s what we do best in the East Texas Outback. You see, when people are tightly packed into what we call the “human coops” – the 300 s/f condos and apartments and incredible traffic jams – there’s no quiet space in the head. That’s where original thinking comes from. This week Elaine and … Read More
One of our readers was asking just yesterday while I was tinkering with my new high-end graphics package if there was a correlation between the solar eclipse this summer and the coming crash.No, but we DID find a FAR more interesting correlation which is laid out in the ChartPack this morning.That, a few headlines, and … Read More
We have previously explained some of our long wave economics perspectives – something we’ve been sharpening for what will be 20-years on this website come September of this year. While most of our outlooks are held for the subscription-based www.peoplenomics.com site (link on menu) it still seems fair – at least now and then – … Read More
