Crime and punishment move over!  Political expediency is the New Order of the Swamp.  This as the US Department of Justice Inspector General report on the highly political conduct of former FBI director James Comey is just out.  (Hint:  Agencies don’t waste 83-pages to say “not guilty of anything”)  Here are the conclusions – I … Read More

First thing out of the rack this morning I popped open the futures market and our Aggregate Index Daily view of things, including our “red line” indicator.  Here’s what it looked like: Based on what I saw, the “rumors of trade” had hyped the market to the point where two important things MIGHT happen. First, … Read More

What could be bigger, right? You may not like the answer. BecauseTrump walks the footsteps of Herbert Hoover, or so the world markets now worry.  Rates are again falling.  There’s a sense that history is on the precipice… right on the brink. And so we are. Toss-in the problems of Hong Kong and the fall … Read More

Been  a good ride, but seems to be rolling over in our read of the S&P Housing Data just out:  When they don’t lead a press release with the “change” slug, it means to read carefully! NEW YORK, AUGUST 27, 2019 – S&P Dow Jones Indices today released the latest results for the S&P CoreLogic … Read More

As we await the Case-Shiller Housing report in a few minutes (come back for that, right?) most of the news flow today is mild and boring.  As it should be just ahead of a long holiday weekend.  So much so that we will ultra-compress our thoughts because you’re probably busy stacking chips and beer ahead … Read More

The early futures today were where we were expecting them following the late-week decline last week.  While we won’t give away the whole enchilada, our view Saturday was… “…the market would rally Monday and then a Turnaround Tuesday and then…” Which sure seems like the same shoe-size.  Except, while we were looking for some kind … Read More

Yes, it’s True.  I usually go through my “work day” with what passes as a “daily think.” Normally, it’s something that no one else seems to have looked into, so I begin to ask a lot of questions. For example, since I had a hernia operation 12-days ago, that set of contemplation got me on … Read More

Today’s report may read like something out of a sci-fi book. But, I assure you it’s real.  Today we’ll be walking through an extremely odd  “teaching dream” I experienced Thursday morning in one of my “other lives.” “Other Lives? AYFKM” I warned you of the sci-fi angle, right?  If you haven’t read my book Psychocartography: … Read More

Tomorrow, our deep “Sunday Think:  Does Food Influence Language.” Today, as a little grist for the mental mill, we offer the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Because he was the first president in U.S. history to size-up the growing threat of a “military-industrial” complex.  A cup of coffee and ready for 16-minutes worth? … Read More

Been up since the wee hours, working on the outline of my next book (which will be serialized on the Peoplenomics site for subscribers): “Super-IQ: Owning the Ambients.” So the main feature today, other than the Dow futures being down more than 150 points ahead of the opening  (because China will retaliate with tariffs on … Read More

Move over Keto Diets – here’s something more useful!  Some real clarity this morning as I had another one of those amazing dreams of the sort described in my book Psychocartography: mapping the human dream. This one was  mind-boggling in its scope and implications and focused on  non-numeric mathematics.  It will be the “focus piece” … Read More

According to the UrbanDictionary, the term springs from a posted definition from a UD contributor named conceitedAsHell) back in 2003. Since this was “follow-up” week from my August 6 hernia mesh implant, which involved my personal science project in an attempt to ‘beat the laws of medicine’ I’ve been doing a lot of study on … Read More

President Trump is barking up the wrong tree in calling for the Fed to lower rates a full 1%.  This morning, therefore, a short discussion of how and why he’s wrong and what it means on what could be a “Turnaround Tuesday” to the downside, if  animal spirits of markets should turn today. In the … Read More
