With little more than Trump-bashing over  Wall funding and resultant government shut-down in passing headlines today, we abandon our regular report format in order to offer a software manual to accompany the Small Trader Power Tool (STPT)  workbook (a collection of worksheets in a single file) being released concurrently.. As you know, I have been … Read More

Know why LBGT, social media, and so many other changes in human behavior are ascendant?  No fear!  Ure’s been evolving a new “Compact Digital Cosmology” to answer just such inquiries. One of the points in my latest book (“Psychocartography: Mapping the Human Dream“) that continues to rattle around in my head is how “screwed-up” the … Read More

“The Wall” is Trump’s “Hooverville” as we figure it. So, before we get into the Consumer Price report, the on-going government shutdown and the like, a bit of future modeling is in order.  Along with a grand lesson in management. The lesson is simple – taught to me when I was running my first multi-million … Read More

What is a Government Review Panel (GRP)?  What we’re tossing out today is an idea for a Big Picture review of how government performance is going. Not by the Legislative brand.  Why, when there’s a government shutdown, they can even work through the holidays to patch things up.  Lazy bastards and non-performers.  Incapable of doing … Read More

Not your “normal” Peoplenomics topic, for sure.  But, this is not so much about my specific back pain fixing, so much as it’s a lesson in using available resources and applying rigorous process to attain a designed result. This coming Saturday, we have the “subscriber-sourced” Small Trader Power Tool (release candidate 1, lol) coming along.  … Read More

Damn-fine question, that.  By the end of today’s column, you may have evolved an opinion and along the path, you’ll learn about an obscure American radio company that even most hams don’t know about. But let’s tackle the question, first.  It’s entirely contextual.  What I mean by that is on a submarine, the “survival radio” … Read More

I can’t count the time’s I have told you this was coming:  You see, we’re on an escalation path with regards to U.S. relations with multiple countries in South and Central America.  And – it’s all about money. First, we are continuing to recalibrate our views of how things will go.  As of early this … Read More

Or, does the stock market react to events? We should find out this week.  Let me give you a crackpot theory to ponder. I noticed something very strange this summer as I was crunching numbers trying to sort out some aspects of “futuring” and how that related to the stock market. In the process of … Read More

I got to thinking about yesterday’s column and, honestly, I had a “guilt pang.”  It occurred to me that new visitors to this site would think me quite daft for spending time on (potentially age-reversing) projects like light crowns, and such. The premise is simple:  When humans began to use fire was approximately coincident to … Read More

Today, we’re into the “fun stuff” – the kind of thing I used to do and got paid well for doing:  Working out algorithmic software solutions to complex problems. Since we are de-emphasizing the day-to-day trading discussions, we thought it would be fun to use the occasion to whip up some new – and maybe … Read More

One of our readers recently had a dandy idea…one I’ve had before, but have just never gotten around to doing anything with… Why not make an “updated tech” version of the breastplate worn in the Bible? Grand idea.  It shouldn’t be too hard. To understand where this is going, you first need to understand that … Read More

I am AMAZED at the innumeracy running rampant in America. ABC runs a story that says, in part: “U.S. employers dramatically stepped up their hiring in December, adding 312,000 jobs in an encouraging display of strength for an economy in the midst of a trade war, slowing global growth and a partial shutdown of the … Read More

The US Fed seems to be trying to stabilize markets in here.  The latest H.6 Money Stocks report reveals the Fed let a lot of air out of the market by only growing the 90-day M1 (cash) at a 1.7% annualized rate through the end of November.  However, now we see that run rate is … Read More
