Santa was laying peacefully in bed Sunday morning, snoozing off the last of the turkey dinner from the night before. Elaine barely stirred. Zeus the Cat was outside and thoughts of hot coffee and the day’s projects were still mired in dream-stuff leftovers… [RING!!!!!] “Who the hell would call us at this hour?” “Zero-three-hundred comms … Read More
Yeah, I know – wasn’t going to have a report this morning, but then I got to thinking (overnight) about the puzzling role of the Knickerbocker Crisis. And then? Well, let’s just say that sometimes when a good detective is on one suspect’s tail, they can end up with something completely different. And this is … Read More
Peoplenomics will be posted an hour or two later than normal. And no, it’s not just the charts…we have a real treat for you… Check back around 9-10 AM Central Time.
While we are pleased to have made it to another Christmas, there is a nagging problem that has been tearing at me over the past couple of days. It’s like going to a “Magic Show” and finding yourself – after the main act – asking “What did I see – and what was REAL?” To … Read More
A Christmas story from the reporter’s notebook: With no hoopla or public notice other than a short obituary, a young man died up in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this month. Out of respect for the family, I won’t use his real name. For our note this morning we’ll simply call him John. John was like … Read More
One of the most popular myths out of ancient times is that there was a city called Babel and there people built “to the heavens” and in the end were punished, a great common language destroyed, and so much for globalism 101. Well this morning an interesting note from the Jewish studies group up in … Read More
Dear Professor Shiller, an Open Letter, if I may. I think you almost got it. But not quite, in my view. I refer to the interview on CNBC t’other day. “Trump rally could be like Coolidge’s Roaring ’20s before Depression, Nobel-winning economist warns…” As we both know, the current fad in economics is quantitative nonsense. … Read More
Computational Futuring for breakfast today. A few headlines to get the coffee rolling this morning, then our first day of Winter issue gets into a novel way of futuring that will likely be incorporated in our further software adventures into futuring called Nostracodeus II. S-curves are really interesting critter because they help visually sense what … Read More
Several things to go over this morning: First off is the condition of Gold. As I told you, we are (IMHO) in immediate danger between now and March 1 of seeing gold break below the $1,000 level. Before that can happen, though, we will first break the $1,100 handle and that could happen before year-end. … Read More
The other morning Elaine and I were sitting around talking about gifts. And I came to the conclusion that one of the best gifts I could give you as a reader of UrbanSurvival (and hopefully our Peoplenomics.com premium service) would be the gift of productivity. A lot of readers have asked me over the years. … Read More
There are several reasons to expect a pullback in the market one of these days. A case for later today might be made, depending on how the Electoral College rolls today. There have been threats, many states (including Texas) have assigned state police to projection details, and there are all those “Hillary in the Woods” … Read More
Here at UrbanSurvival.com, we like to be ahead of the trends. One of the ways we do this is by working 10-14 hours per day, seven days a week following pertinent trend-evolving news. The other way is sitting back with a solid generalization process in order that we truly understand the business implicates when a … Read More
