Economic Theory has it that when people have confidence, and when they have low interest rates available, they will form family units and buy housing. So naturally when we read this morning’s housing data, that’s the kind ofs thing that rolls through the back of the mind. What’s missing? HOME PRICE GAINS IN JUNE CONCENTRATED … Read More

It was more of the same this weekend: The major money center banks of the world and the monetary policy folks getting together at Jackson Hole Wyoming. A fitting place where the world Hole figured prominently has to be one of the finest winks out there from Universe. That aside – and while the banks … Read More
There are always plenty of things to do when you have the ultimate bug-out retreat in the woods. Especially when the Global Banksters are gathering around the US Fed and crying poor…moving us closer to the bail-in that I described in a recent Peoplenomics report. This weekend, however, it was a time to work on … Read More
Think the odds of a flash war are low? Think again. As one of our readers noted, former president Clinton tossed some bombs around to try and get rid of/distract from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Will such a distraction be used this fall? Obviously we don’t know, But there are some bothersome potential conflicts out … Read More
The myth that the consumer is in any way protected by the Fooled and Drugged Administration is blowing up once again. Can’t say we’re surprised, since in the past we had helped expose how the FDA helped corporate greedsters to hoax millions out of people who depended on the extract of the autumn crocus (Colchicine) … Read More
In our Thursday morning report dealing with the Philadelphia experiment, I made a passing mention to how I scribble down notes and am perpetually reorganizing them.

What got me to thinking about this (again) was the story about how a “Woman Found Alive After Being Stranded For One Month in New Zealand Mountains.” Interesting read. There are other stories which will be spawning Survival stories to come, from efforts such as the Rescuers digging for survivors of Italy’s earthquake as death … Read More
I’m spending too much time in my lab lately. Yeah, still working on gravity/anti-gravity theories and the like. But now I’m vexed by a bothersome data point that popped out of my work just yesterday. This takes a little explaining…because it is not the simplest stuff in the world. So here goes… I was reviewing … Read More
Yep. Not before the elections, though. Just waiting for Obama II (Hillary) to make it into office and then all signs point to a meltdown in early 2w016 because the Fed won’t have any choice but to raise rates – which will blow up the national debt, or they will stand par and the world … Read More
Power breakfast aboard (turkey croissant sand.. and half bowl of chili) I am ready to face a harsh reality: I quit my long position in the QQQ’s yesterday instead of waiting for this morning. Not that I lost money, or anything stupid like that. I didn’t. Made money even after commish. But the futures were … Read More
“You’re WHAT?” IN so many words, my most normal daughter was telling be she and her spouse would be heading to Las Vegas to take part in a Zombie Apocalypse Tactical Op Training Session. Oh, one of those… I tried to sound hip but it wasn’t going very well at all. With good reason, too. … Read More
