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.

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

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.
