Several items on the Sunday morning coffee list. You pour while I muse. IQ Versus MQ The couple up the “mountain” from us became parents a couple of months back – as we were reminded when a post card of their ‘work product’ arrived this week.  Cute kid. While Elaine and I talked about the … Read More

Just too much going on to ignore fresh developments in CryptoLand. Bye-bye to some long-sought down-time.  Developments at the Federal Reserve in research beg for analysis and commentary. So here we go. On the back burner, for now, is  our Big Project – which I hope to have ready for Labor Day Weekend.  It just … Read More

Besides some fresh econ data for traders to consider, the Threat Board has changed in several important ways in the last 24-hours.  But the  biggest and least-covered change has come from the Federal Reserve. Fed: Hiding the Sausage? The Feder Reserve has made what  seems like an innocuous change to financial reporting of its activities.  … Read More

Today, we serve a nutritious “full meal deal” for your brain:  On the ultra-rational side, we have a warm slice of government data.  However, with an election just 75-days away, use of facts is discretionary.  For the middle-brain, we have an Anagram due out at 10 Eastern.  And for the empathic/right-brain thinkers, a couple of … Read More

Building’s on fire.  Fire department has been called.  All safe?  No…not if…..  the exits have been sealed and you’re still inside. And in a sense, that’s where millions of Americans are finding themselves. And strangely, they can give thanks: Their jobs have disappeared.  Thanks Virus.  They’re not as confident in their money holding value: Thanks … Read More

California has become a “land of woes” here lately – moreso than  usual.   First, there are record weather extremes and that’s led to rolling blackouts.  Though today, it looks like the power will be semi-stable.  Even as its reported that California narrowly avoids more rolling blackouts; governor orders investigation. Secondly, California is eyeing a … Read More

Those not lucky enough to know someone “Huna” have “missed the boat” in a manner of speaking.  Huna is sort-of  like a religion but it’s more a “Way” of being.  One of its cornerstones is a concept called Pono. “Pono” offers that “Effectiveness is the measure of Truth.”  Important this week not to confuse politics … Read More

Another scorcher coming up here in East Texas.  With all the hype and BS about “climate change” we should be in the middle of a desert by now.  But, lo and behold, just two days of 100+ temps likely this summer – and that’s counting today.  This is a  first couple of weeks of August … Read More

You can almost taste the changes in the air.  An election coming up. The Post Office, of all things, has become a key pawn. A massive change in how society operates and interacts is pressed by a disease.  A global sense of “peak everything.”  And a collapse of millennium duration social norms. All of it … Read More

We will be focusing in tomorrow’s Peoplenomics report on some of the key “points of confusion” in the modern world.  It’s really silly when you think about it: Humans are the only species I’ve heard of claiming there are more than two basic genders – and a basic 2X2 matrix of relationships. Aye, but these would … Read More

Yeah, something of a directionless market in the early futures slog today.  With good reason, too. The Big Picture Sucks Before we drop this week’s new unemployment claims and the Ex-Im prices, a bit of context is useful here because you need to see how delicate America’s financial future is, at this point. The biggest … Read More

Fresh CPI data, the UK slides into recession, liberal “gush” about Kamala.  Then part two of our plan-ahead piece on aging. Totally full plate this morning.  (Like I need another full plate, lol.) Somewhere in here’s we’ll also review our Aggregate Index market charts and ask some questions about gold’s decline. Coffee and speed-reading? Welcome … Read More

Let’s see here:  Biden is playing for time.  Trump’s in trouble – Secret Service secured the White House because of gunfire (outside) – We just passed 20-million cases of CV-19.  And, oh year, the federal budget is a train wreck due to massive making up of money. Soared through 26 1/2-trillion dollars now. Think tanks, … Read More
