Markets: And Down We Go?

It is too early in the day to offer an “I told you so…” BUT I did and it’s not to early to remind you of our outlook for the markets to pick up speed to the downside in coming weeks. Today is the first  “hot day” I mentioned  back on October 26th. The next … Read More

“Divisive” is an Economic Function

I want to share with you a point or two that I somehow didn’t get around to making when I was on  CoastToCoastAM with George Noory last night: The main one is all this “Divisiveness” that is plaguing America right now is an economics-driven function.  Believe me, you’ll understand a lot more about “fake news” and … Read More

CoastToCoastAM Reader Notes

Ure’s comments on  ELECTION AND ECONOMY for George Noory CoastToCoastAM listeners tonight.

Portrait of a “Tax Bomb”

Thankfully, the election is done and over – and in a second a few comments about it.  But, there are bigger fish to fry.  As we predicted Saturday, it looks like the first move post-election will be up (through Friday) as the market fires up this morning.  More important?  We have been modeling drivers for … Read More

Woo-Woo: Sci-Fi Adventure Dreams

With the elections behind us (but will the headlines really ever stop about them?), I’ll be on CoastToCoastAM tonight with George Noory, if everything goes according to plan. One of the topics – other than the obvious about the economy and our curious way of looking at it – will be my latest book, Psychocartography: … Read More

After Elections: A “News Shortage” Looms

This being Election Day, we will pass on our usual semi-conservative (yet financially-responsible) views in order that you can safely read the column in a polling place without the gendarmes being alerted.  We’ll also leave our clothes on, unlike some attention-starved wannabe’s.. After all the hype and BS about this being the “most important election … Read More

Do You Vote Hype or Data?

With nothing particular in the way of economic news for an eye-opener, we find the last-minute election antics to be gloriously amusing.  Before we get into some reasonable thinking about the possible outcomes, let’s consider the hype because, honestly, there’s not much else going on today… Let’s begin with this gem:  “Georgia Looking Into Attempted … Read More

Prepping: Burn Barrel Basics

Sure – the lights will be on forever.  Until they are not.  And – should that day come due to (pick as many as you please)… Major earthquake Windstorm, tornado of hurricane Attack on the SCADA level of power systems Sabotage by anti-American terrorists Financial meltdown… (the list continues) Script-kiddies… …One of the most useful … Read More

After the Histrionics: Rally

We play the fun game of looking ahead a few weeks in this morning’s report.  In it, you’ll see how we expect the balance of the year to shape up. More importantly, though, you may be able to infer how we plan to scalp a few bucks from Old Man Market. After headlines and coffee, … Read More

Coping: Hats as a “Secret Energy Source”

Want one of those “inside secrets” to tap into almost unlimited personal power and energy? It’s your HAT. I kid you not:  What you place on your head is a powerful metaphor for what you are working to accomplish.  It’s part taw, part talisman, part symbology, part advertisement.  It defines your membership in a tribe, … Read More

Split Decision Woes, Be Very Afraid

We have been a bit more glum than usual, lately.  We have, you see, been working towards an outcome in markets that we’ve been eyeing on our Peoplenomics.com site for several weeks now.  It’s the “bad news sinks in” result that we fear will be the eventuality right after elections. The idea was (and still … Read More

Last-Minute Election Slams: Stand By for STUPID

We’re getting down to “short strokes” ahead of next Tuesday’s election.  And you might as well turn off the news now – and wait until Wednesday of next week because the “last minute slams” are coming hot & heavy.

Markets Eye Election Trigger

One of the questions that comes up often in our “Comments” section on the UrbanSurvival site is whether Elliott waves are really “useful.” In fairness to people asking, the answer is Yes!  But you need to understand where the “civilian” confusion comes from. This week, I spent some time with my friend Robin Landry who’s … Read More
