OK, picking up from Tuesday, where I went into not one but two oddities about the evolving “holes in Really” around here…  Had a conversation with Lt. Col. (retired) Chris McCleary who took up the National Dream Center Project from us in 2008. Turns out, working on his EDS and PhD in counseling has not rendered … Read More

Saturday on the Peoplenomics side of the house we will cover a unique topic:  News Trajectories. But, both for subscribers and the ‘great unwashed’ we can use this morning’s release of the Consumer Price Index data as a dandy example.  You see, when a news item like the CPI crosses, it doesn’t just operate in the … Read More

As readers know, the office-shop of UrbanSurvival is a glorious (verging on palatial) place:  Tools galore, plenty of electronics for the Extra Class ham radio op in you, or whatever turns your crank.  Pass the plasma cutter and sample three different “on-ramps” to the Internet. With summer here, though, and not figuring it to be … Read More

The shock resignation of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman may have just saved the Trump presidency and lost the democrat’s chance of major congressional gains in the off-year congressional races, in our odd view of the world. That’s because The New Yorker has published a first-rate piece of journalism in “Four Women Accuse New York’s … Read More

We don’t get too deeply into woo-woo reports here lately for a number of reasons.  When a person begins talking about “jumping timelines” and such, heads cock and people look askance… Sadly, when the genuinely inexplicable events happen, people tend to write the website off as “Naw, that Ure dude’s fulla crap…”  Which may be true, … Read More

The market is poised to break to much higher levels, but it’s still to early to pour oodles of money on the long side – just yet. For one, there are major resistance levels overhead from here.  Second thing to watch is whether “Sell in May and go away…” shows up this year.  It really … Read More

My first encounter with balanced-brain theory was in the 1990’s when I was head of admissions for a vocational college.  Anything that would help understand whether a particular course, leading to a career, would benefit the student’s long-term interests was important. Enter the Gregorc Style Delimiter which you can still buy a packet of 25 self-assessments … Read More

I have been looking for the “keys to the bank” for a long time and am pleased to report that while I haven’t found the keys, our latest rule sets seem to be a large enough hammer that we can pull off the occasional “smash and grab” as we’ve done this week. We’ll go through … Read More

I don’t think anywhere is the contrast between the “old ways” and the new more apparent than the massive shift in “cost-per-pound” thinking. Which is? When you go to the grocery store, for example, and you have two nearly-identical products and you don’t want to buy randomly.  This is when those “unit pricing” figures are … Read More

Over on the Peoplenomics side of the house we keep a very interesting chart for subscribers that’s updated twice a week. As I mentioned in the Wednesday report this week, we are in an odd divbergence globally:  The US market has been dropping and the global has been rising.  Figuring this can’t persist very long, our … Read More
