Wednesday reports normally contain extended comments as a “focus” section.  However, today, due to the holiday line-up this year, we will instead focus on charts only and also provide an abbreviated news review on the UrbanSurvival.com site.  A Focus piece will be presented Saturday. And, if that’s not screwy enough for you, we will also … Read More

As I have mentioned previously, both Elaine and I decided in 2018 to get our DNA testing done.  While there are lots of “privacy issues” claimed, we believed that the potential benefits outweighed the risks by a good margin. For example, I now know that my body metabolizes certain drugs faster (and some slower) than … Read More

Here’s a head scratcher for you:  As of 7:16 AM Central time, Yahoo was showing the Dow futures down more than 700 points, but the FinViz display was showing down in the range of 150-points.  So, it will be an interesting morning to watch…which set of futures will be right?  We should know shortly…maybe holiday … Read More

There are many joys of working with your hands…the pride of bringing something back to life being foremost among them. Unfortunately, there are many problems with “restoring” and “refinishing’ so we thought it would be useful to pass-along some of our lesser-known tricks. Let’s begin with paint:  It can be miserable stuff to remove.  However, … Read More

Yes, I make them, too.  (Especially writing at 5 AM, lol). It is the Trade Date that controls the reporting…most of the time. A reader referred me to the discussion over on the Zacks website with this juicy morsel: “In almost all cases, the trade date controls the tax-reporting year for a stock sale. That … Read More

Before Launch: Let’s do the Only Chart That Matters 2019 sure looks like a peach, don’t it? Although the market futures are showing a decline this morning, that latest crackpot theory we’ve been kicking around over on our Peoplenomics.com subscriber side (“Trading Box Theory”) offers a very short-term outlook that the market could turn turn … Read More
