Earlier this morning, the Dow futures were pointing to a higher opening, by some 140 points, or thereabouts. Unfortunately, since we closed under the present trend line in the Monday session, this may be a simple “wave 1” (Elliott) bounce before the next move down.  Time will tell on that one. Dead cat bounce, anyone? … Read More

Extra-strong coffee this morning as we eye the futures market with only one question in mind:  Will the Trend Channel hold? Let’s throw on some theme music (“ Lifetime Piling Up” works…) and drop back over the past couple of weeks.  I’ve been saying both here on the free side, and also on the  Peoplenomics.com subscriber … Read More

With the spread of NoCoV2019 worldwide now, I wanted to expand on our “strategic view” of coping with a pandemic. In case you missed it, the basic blocking and tackling part of reducing your exposure risk was covered in our Friday morning column which is available here.  If you haven’t read it, take care of … Read More

After Pandemic coverage and ‘peachy remarks?”Mobbies:  Hobbies that make money.” Sure, stocks are up – bigly – but is that really fun?    Today, we look at some of the ways we have tried to make some minor “Funvestments” in life. And, having done so, I have to say while they haven’t all been winners, the … Read More

Longer than normal Peoplenomics podcast tomorrow.  Today, though, it’s time to get really tactical in your prepping for Pandemic.  This isn’t medical advice.  Just what seems like common sense when 30-million 42-million people are now under travel restrictions and the number of cases of the novel corona virus is over a dozen in the US. … Read More

The Huge National Distraction (impeachment sham) underway in the District of Coercion is keeping more Americans from seeing the bigger picture.   Since I like to write (both non-fiction AND fiction), I thought this morning’s serving of brain-stimulant should be a short FICTIONAL story that came to mind as I was doing my red-light therapy … Read More

I apologize to subscribers, as this is the type of thing that more properly belongs on our  Peoplenomics site ($40-bucks a year), but there’s a time-sensitive development in the futures market this morning that is worth kicking around. If you’re not a subscriber, there are several things you need to do to keep up with … Read More

Tomorrow, one of the saddest periods of American history will begin and a sham impeachment comes to trial in the Senate. That said, there’s a lot of good that will come of it.  But a fair amount of “bad” will accompany.  Here’s my short-list: We will know who the RINO’s are.  (Spoiler – we do … Read More

Before today’s light-hearted discussion, please – for your own health – go read “Soybean Oil Causes Genetic Changes In The Brain.”  You’ll know what to do… Sometimes, in fact most of the time I daresay, prepping is more about “What’s between the ears” than anything else. Sure, it’s nice to have 6-million pounds of freeze-dried … Read More

This weekend, we venture out onto the bleeding edge of psychology. Why?  Chris McCleary, who runs the National Dream Center, a project we cobbled up in 2007 or ’08 is coming for a visit. Since he has lots of degrees, we’ve got a project in mind that  is frankly mind-blowing. We’ll go through it, after … Read More

It’s a math problem…although it sure looks like a  meth problem, as the US markets continue to “put on the beans” as we are living through the financial analogy to “Going to Mars.”  The Moon-shot point was passed a long time ago. Let’s begin with the breaking financial developments: The first is Housing Starts just … Read More
