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
I don’t say they are too common, but it would be hard for me match the last total eclipse I remember: the one June 30, 1973. I was news director of KOL AM/FM at the time and I had arranged with a friend, Captain Ed. Wolkowitz, who was a Texas ham and pilot for Continental … Read More
We behold another spectacle of human stupidity as stories abound today about how people are “staking out” places to watch the eclipse (which is just getting underway and coming towards the U.S.). Let me explain: Humans have always worshipped the Sun. Read this Wikipedia entry that proves my point: “Ra (/r??/;[1] Egyptian: R?, R?) or … Read More
As a subscriber, you already have my mailing address…so please pass it on to the Nobel Prize people. I’m sure you will want to do this – after you read this morning’s dirt-simple explanation of the “new Reality” that the Fed just don’t seem to be able to get its arms around. That, plus a … Read More
A remarkable idea has put my “brain on fire” since it occurred to mean at 1:345 AM today: What would have happened to the Stock Market in 1929 if there had been a widespread, Tulipmania-like competitor to investing in stocks at the September 3, 1929 all-time highs? It is well-documented in the literature that bubbles … Read More
My personal “to-do” list is about 10-miles long and it will likely take most of the weekend to get it done. Sometimes, there is – as a mentor trained me years ago – no alternative but to write it all down, prioritize the list and then just devote time on task. The new treadmill that … Read More
The biggest headline on Drudge earlier this morning? “FoxNews host death threats after criticizing Trump.” Following linked story from Drudge will land you on a Variety page where we read “Fox News host Eboni K. Williams on receiving death threats after segment criticizing Trump.” Yet, after reading the story (several times) I couldn’t find anything … Read More
Been “one of those weeks” so far. Turns out the doc appointment is this morning – not Wednesday. I missed a meal for nothing. Why I had both days marked in Outlook is a mystery. And then the replacement treadmill showed up Tuesday. The delivery truck couldn’t get onto the property (too big) and they … Read More
The first 40-odd pages of “the next book” is up for subscribers to have a look at – and comments are welcome. A second novel in my David Shannon adventure series is in the works, but I felt it was necessary to first write a non-fiction book to explain how some of the concepts central … Read More
“As you go through life, make this your goal: Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole.” [old school wisdom] The holes are? Well, lemme see: Charlottesville, and the hype about follow-on places where idiots of all stripes can be gathered in. Followers are everywhere if you find the right pied-piper. North Korea … Read More
