We all love the good times and friends that gather over the Fourth.  But, the opening ponders, with a (*violent) Fourth now behind us, are whether America is only one holiday away from collapse becoming widespread and undeniable? The next holiday ahead is Labor Day which falls on Monday September 5, 2022. Three numbers to … Read More

Fourth of July was expected to be a BTC bloodbath, by some.  However, as of early this morning, we’re still in the “Running of the Shorts.” Since I woke up early (hobby and office work here) I’ve seen BTC climb from just barely over $19,000 to just a bit under $20,000.  For the life of … Read More

Some while back, I mentioned that I’d picked up the Chineseum welder model similar to what’s on Amazon – like this one ($28) – which is “similar-to” the very reliable Smith Little Torch which – at $155 – is a shade more expensive. Before my review of the offshore entry, a few words contexting things for … Read More

Event Arrows have been loosed that will shape the balance of 2022 and form our entry into 2023.  We need to look closely at some of these. The Fourth of July has always been a good time to kick back, assess the year to date, and see where the “arrow of events” is pointing for … Read More

A former colleague of mine suggested – shortly after BTC came out – that I accept BTC as payment for our Peoplenomics.com insider newsletter.  At the time, BTCs were rolling along at a dime, or so. “No thanks.  The whole idea of a zero utility, purely made-up, and digitally dependent currency – which will run … Read More

I told you so! Here’s what we posted Monday: We already know this all ends badly. The reason is simple:  The Wave 1 down whacked BTC from the $61,411 range (November around when stocks peaked, too) down to around $35,070 January 22. thousand.   Rounding-off (because of insufficient coffee to deal with decimals) call it a … Read More

Dreams, probability clouds, and sleep apnea is not the most mainstream economics and stock trading discussion you’ll run into, today. But it’s been an interesting journey following up on the many research forks apparent in our last discussion on point.  Which was Prophecy, Cardiac Insufficiency, and Hypoxia. Today, we’ll be looking into additional data and … Read More

Remember the movie, Jaws?  Where that dandy theme rumbles as you can almost see the mega shark?  Cue that up on the hi-fi because, brothers and sisters, the world has changed overnight. BRICs Thrown in WW III Specifically, the World (and drivers for WW III) became clear a couple of days ago when the story … Read More

The Economic Outlook around here hasn’t drifted much over the weekend.  The reasonably projected future forecast here seems to look like: A slow onset of higher inflation that will crater the economy beginning in Q3 and dragging into 2023 which is likely to become recognized as a Depression by the middle of next year. A … Read More

Famine is coming. Yeah, sure, Roe, Wade, demonstrations, hype.  Have fun with that. The larger reality is there’s no caloric payoff to any of it and damn few people will have noticed the recent Newsweek story Gathering Storm of Famine Looms Over Many Nations. What Preppers Miss Most preppers I know have never done a … Read More

So much for deserving a break today.  While summer should be time for picnics, trips, time with friends and family, a good deal of that has been blown up this year by bad policy, good court decisions, and angry people. Oh yeah, gas prices, too. We wonder “What is America coming to?” with good reason:  … Read More

Maybe this morning’s column – and the ensuing Roe V. Wade overturned decision – was too long-winded for Sound-Byte News Consumers. Allow me to summarize the Deal Points.  1. The Government Already Owns your Body. Roe v. Wade was, in a middle-of-the-road reading – correcting an unconstitutional foray of the government into a personal healthcare … Read More

We don’t really have much in the way of expectations for this pig of a market going into the weekend.  The Dollar hadn’t moved much overnight, but suckers galore and “Buy the Dips” is often a sign of a Charlatan’s Convention.  Dow  was +220 an hour to the open. Our focus this morning is on the U.S. … Read More
