Since the world is freakin’ crazy, it’s easy to find ways to entertain the herd of sheeple. Pro sports is one such tool. I mean, when you think about it, Sports is a HUGE made-up monetization. While there are some values (*teamwork, practice, striving for excellence) most of it can be learned from watching a … Read More
Sheesh. Not a fun week for Ure. Turning 74 this month, I thought the Sun was supposed to come out, not go falling apart on us. And golden years? Pah-leeze! Got up at 3 AM (*brain on fire, couldn’t sleep) Friday morning. Wrote column, futzed around, ate and then my neighbor showed up and in … Read More
At times like this – and the extremely dangerous period from next week through June – managing risk will be of paramount importance. The U.S. economy looks good on paper. But as many have reported recently, it’s actually too good when labor participation doesn’t seem to add up. Toss in holding Social Security and Medicare … Read More
Got up early today for some server work & we’ve managed to shave a little time off server load speeds (memcached on server now). So, if things seem quicker, then yeah, likely are. Markets: “D” or a (1)? It always comes down to this in investing: The market goes to where you think it should … Read More
Wow. Never had this happen before. The internet ate my report. Wrote a dynamite column (aren’t they all?) and WTF? All disappeared. 2 hours of work down the crapper. Controversial stuff this time – odd how that stuff goes bye-bye. Maybe this is just my computer keeping me out of jail, or worse, though… hmm.. … Read More
No, you can’t buy our DreamTuner system – or download the Dream-Steering app. Yet. But this morning we will explain for subscribers how a new combination and some code to link up some off-the-shelf products might allow people to experience mental enhancement. As you will read, the product will be useable in two modes: The … Read More
Although we are able to snipe occasional lunch money in this pig of a stock market, the amount of real Truth out there is getting harder to find. Data! Market futures slipped a bit on this. Meanwhile: Do I believe Labor Department data “Series Id: LNS12000000”? Because if you did believe it, you’d be agreeing … Read More
On the surface, this promises to be a fairly quiet week, data-wise. The news flow is less than inspiring, because the “shoot down” of the Chinese weather or surveillance balloon has turned everyone in Washington into even bigger Buffoons than before. Sounds impossible, we’ll admit. Tomorrow we’ll get a taste of international goods pricing, but remembering … Read More
Ok, sitting down after a day of working on post-storm chores. As you will remember, the ice storm took us almost offline, except that now I understand why a tablet and Starlink are so crucial to people in Ukraine. They work great. Able to look over comments and approve things along with the odd post even … Read More
I didn’t get into this on the Subscriber side this morning (Peoplenomics.com) but the Biden Administration’s inability to deal with something as simple as a high altitude Chinese spy balloon verges on criminal. In fairness, my consigliere points out it was a decision presented to the Biden crew by the military/CIA. The White House went along. “Don’t … Read More
Fine tuning of prepping is in the works following the major ice storm in East Texas this past week. Today, a discussion of what we got right and what we got wrong. Very interesting “school” the universe provides! Plus, in our ChartPack, that alternate count of the (Elliott) wave structure from a few weeks back … Read More
Officially most of the outages should be back up today, but not us…at least so far: The good news is the solar is really cranking and sun is in the forecast. Rany lines out and started cutting wood – tons of it to clean up. Food is good, doing the odd post of Kindle is … Read More
We have sun on our solar panels today. The problem we have is the power company is not expected to get the power on until this weekend. Job numbers came in good and maybe too much so. Given the weak ADP report. No farm month over month was down .5 million which doesn’t make sense … Read More
