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. Since the Robert Mueller fishing and hooker expedition hasn’t seemingly found anything in the way of … Read More

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

Coping: The Science Behind Halloween

Not often that we repeat much around here, but Halloween is a very special event.  My personal study of the event is thanks – in large part – to a small government agency that has some very smart people who look at extremely broad contexts when sizing up threats to this great nation.  One of the people … Read More

Housing Data – Spinning the Border

Still UP – Just not as much as the S&P Case-Shiller Housing Data has cooled a bit: “NEW YORK, OCTOBER 30, 2018 – S&P Dow Jones Indices today released the latest results for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices, the leading measure of U.S. home prices. Data released today for August 2018 shows that home prices … Read More

Meanwhile, Back at the Casino….

(Thackerville, OK)  With American markets feeling like we were “on the ropes” last week, Elaine and I took of Saturday morning for the Winstar casino/resort an hour north of Dallas.  Our primary mission was work-related.  My long-time friend Robin Landry and I met (dueling laptops, right?) to figure out if this is a small fourth wave … Read More

Prepping: Project Big Ears Part-2

For this to make a lot of sense, you will want to revisit the original September 30, 2018 article Project Big Ears here. The goal of the project, to refresh, is to build a high-performance Beverage Antenna using commonly available parts.  That first article was mostly the theory of what the project was about.  Today, … Read More
