Wow…,finally caught a break and it was Good News!  (OK, and a little bad.) The UrbanSurvival complete recovery is coming along.  Really, really well. Except for one tiny detail – the images associated with old reports on this site have gone MIA. Still, it’s a huge triumph of some really great programmers.  And if you can stand the … Read More

Data Days don’t come much larger than this.  I mean holy smokes. Gives the Fed enough cover to hide behind any rate decision tomorrow. Let’s roll through them one at a time: [Also will be posted on Peoplenomics in case your DNS hasn’t caught up, yet…] Retail Sales First the visual: Then the gory details: … Read More

Most people miss the whole point of “reading the news.” Your “average news consumer” isn’t sure what they’re really after.  But some consultancies (Magid, I think it was, way back in the day) taught “Health, Heart, and Pocketbook” as key editor story-selection criteria. The A.P. also did some research (I was on their Broadcast Association … Read More

My 2017 book “Dimensions Next Door” now seems likely to be a very useful starting point for UFO and UAP research. A major government report is pending. That’s because in the book (DND) there was a very productive “survey of the data” approach taken.  Something missing in most UFO/UAP “reports.” The problem is a quirk … Read More

Whoa boy! Sure, I made a couple of bucks on the short side (man’s gotta have his gambling addiction, right?).  But, it was an in-and-out because…how to put this?… Didn’t seem big enough or real enough. In fact, when we look at the data, it’s like this double top in our Aggregate Index is about … Read More

As I reported on the Peoplenomics.com site for subscribers this weekend, we are at a most curious junction in markets this week.  Let me show you why: Deciphering what happens next is a fool’s game.  If we punch through and set new all-time highs, then fine, we can go long.  But, if the week turns … Read More

Before we get started,  a short personal woo-woo from a dream early this morning.  Very clear message that the “future” would be in a product (or company?) called HLiON.  Haven’t had any time to focus on it, but it seems (in my dream, anyway) to work on some symbiotic chemistry between the hydrogen fuel cell … Read More

Our Aggregate Index closed the week in an unusual technical position.  Very much worth noting because from here, we’re either going to ascend into Bull Heaven or be cast into Bull Hell. Along the way, Bears will, quite naturally, hold a contrarian view. A few headlines as well including observations about the New York Times … Read More

We take the benefits of living in a “complex society” as a “given.”  However, as I have argued many times, both here and on the Peoplenomics site, anti-fragility is a myth.  It’s existence depends on ignoring critical substrate. An example?  Well, while there are multiple fallbacks to rolling power (or web) failures, the critical substrate (elixir of Life) … Read More

The more complex things become, the more an old reporter enjoys life.  The challenge of mincing complexity into a few words really is an art I’ve been trying to wrap my arms around for 52-years now.  Ever since the first “Train derailment near Snohomish” story. Idea Compression is not lossless.  A very Christian young reporter asked … Read More

Zooming out from daily headlines, a major shift becomes apparent.  Are societies worldwide “entraining” because of the Internet?  Or, are we experiencing a kind of contained revolution of the sort due to cycles work their magic around this point in American history? Fascinating topic to ponder:  Is “woke” more like the Cultural Revolution’s Red Guards … Read More

Time to “hit ’em and get ’em” for another week.  Like Monday, I rolled out today, did the “morning stack” of anti-aging vitamins, brewed a pot of Kona blend, and began to plot my way through the maze of the week ahead. Let’s ride… Back in the Saddle Wall Street doesn’t climb  a “Wall of … Read More

Don’t look now, but the climate racket is crashing. It comes as weather in the US-Northeast is cold for this time of year.  Torpedoing, in the process, the “climate change bogeyman” currently being monetized.  Coney Island, New York | Current Weather Forecasts, Live Radar Maps & News was reporting 51 degrees F a few minutes … Read More
