The story told to me by Pappy, back before the dawn of political correctness, involved a certain Native American who was reported to have said: “What man is so foolish. He cuts a foot off the bottom of his blanket. Then he sews it to the top of his blanket and believe he has a … Read More
That’s the global Purchasing Power High of financial markets. We approach this entirely tongue in cheek (d’uh) but in the light-hearted discussion there’s a a butt-ugly bit of truth. When you look at things in just a certain way, the whole world has made less than zero REAL economic progress in the past 17-years. But … Read More
First thing I did this morning when I got up was run to the big screen in the living room and fire up FinViz to see how the futures were doing. As subscribers know, I’ve got my butt way, way, WAY long the market because by my calcumlations (sic) the Dow should begin to go … Read More
Got a fine note from warhammer Thursday morning. He’d asked me whether I knew of IONS – the Institute of Noetic Sciences – and I had to confess – was a member for a good while including while Dean Radin was there. Radin, for those not keeping up with the class, was the author of: … Read More
I suppose, in keeping with our main purpose in Life, namely injecting some economic sanity into the global consciousness, we should start with the Challenger Job Cut report: 36,957 Job Cuts in February The shortest month of the year saw a decline in layoff announcements, as US-employers announced plans to cut 36,957 jobs in February, … Read More

We are in one hell of a pickle as a Nation. Deep State/ShadowGov is at war. Wikileaks has revealed that the government is using the internet and smart phones and smart TVs as video watching and audio listening posts. With all this, Donald Trump’s allegations of surveillance are gathering creds. And looks like the gov’t … Read More
Our Peoplenomics.com subscribers have to be delirious about the accuracy of our work. Did I, or did I not tell ya’ll last week that the market should put in a short-term low today? Earlier, it was looking like the Dow would open down 20, but I reckon it will drop even more later on. Then … Read More
Is the NY Times turning over a new leaf? I was surprised this morning to see the headline “G.O.P. Health Plan would sub Mandate for Incentives” in the left column. What’s this? No slam in the headline? What’s going on here? In the middle column, even more surprising: Some much so I dropped my ViseGrips. … Read More
You may not like it, but here’s a video that’s a “don’t miss…” Much as we discussed in the Monday morning Coping section.
I moved most of the “hard news” (BS political crap) to the Coping section this morning since a keen insight into America’s death-dance deserved further elucidation. There really isn’t much to elucidate about. Trump still Tweets too much. Go read ‘em here. One a day (reviewed by staff in advance?) would be fine. Dances With … Read More
A Monday Political Treatise from the Old Reporter. It’s not exactly a “revolution.” And it’s not quite a Civil War… But neither is it a “coup d’etat” at least in the usual sense. The term “sedition” comes close, too. But not quite. The only word that fits is “The Obamalution.” Obamalution: (noun) A clever legal … Read More
