Now and then I get into conversations with my son about his next visit down here…which may come during summer, but hopefully September after the heat breaks. The reason?  It will be a fine time to work on a couple of his “500-hour skills.”  You see, he’s a prepper/survival-type, too. Many people don’t realize it, … Read More

Although we have a market that is still on crack, we wonder if the markets are yet discounting the remarks (a week ago) by a Mexican Senator – one Félix Salgado Macedonio – who is promoting Revolution 3.0 and has announced Mexico’s intent to move ahead with Reconquista.  Here’s what he tweeted May 31: Trump … Read More

This being Friday. it’s lawn and garden day around here, so we will be posting this morning’s report in pieces.  By doing this, I can get my lawn mowed (and maybe edged) before breakfast and the market open.  Or not… Jobs Report Just out from the Labor Department: “The unemployment rate remained at 3.6 percent … Read More

Out of Tune Thursday! Don’t look now, but that grand economist Rod Stewart said it best:  “Every Picture Tells a Story, Don’t It?“ Why, if George Thorogood (corrected) offered econometric models, this would be Bad to the Bone.

While I wasn’t going to write (free) columns on Wednesday, I just had to give some high praise to Microsoft on the recent update to Win-10 v. 1903 which was released a couple of weeks back. It’s stable, love the new features, but there are also a couple of install snags that we ran into … Read More

In our Aggregate Index view of things, we have now declined far enough that a short spike to the upside for a day or two  might be  in the works.  As always, not advice of any sort, but a report on where the dart landed this morning. Why would the market go up? Sell in … Read More

We begin today with a case of woo-woo.  Hell of a lot more interesting than just talking money and long wave economics all the time… As I’ve told you (uncountable times), I have oneironautic dreams.  I “go places.”  Some people would call this astral projection of out of body experience, but I don’t label it. … Read More

Today: Limits to Growth:  People, Resources, and Money.  But, far more important, in our “Replaying 1929” charts, we have this week a broken critical support and the gates of hell may be getting ready to open earlier than anyone planned. We’ll run you through the charts and a prediction of an S&P 500 below 2,000 … Read More

“The secret to effective time management is learning to “pre-live” your Life.” Recently, in one of our comment section remarks, a reader asked if I would give a short summary of my personal time management approach because I seem to get so much done. You may not like some of what follows because it’s not how … Read More

Mexico is paying … Read More
