One of the simplest concepts of UrbanSurvival is “must be present to win.”  You can’t be dead and be a survivor, huh? Most people don’t know that there are more traffic accidents, plus deaths, in the 100 days from Memorial Day to Labor Day that the whole rest of the year combined.  Summer is crazy-time. Makes sense … Read More

Back of the Envelope Economics (BotEE) class is now in session! Look at how we continue replaying 1929: If there is a correspondence between where we were and 1929 (late spring) and the recent (late spring) correction that may end this week, we could be about to replay the final rally of 1929. Of course … Read More

It was obvious looking at the emerging Globalist framework while doing the masters in the mid 1990’s, that the handwriting was already on the wall.  Forensics had been done, evidence sorted and a jury empaneled. The poor were out-screwing the well-off (and still are), there was a ceiling evident in personal consumption, there had been … Read More

We assume our readers have some interest in getting “rich.”  And yes, it is not only possible but actually likely if you understand the financial conveyor belt.  In addition, a number of readers have asked me to explain when is a good time to hold a position (*short or long) over a weekend. Although I’m … Read More

This morning you will learn about “Global Billionaire Communism” (GBC).  But we need to back up to our Thursday morning report to put this in proper context.  As I told you yesterday: be looking for “game-changer” news beginning at 10:45 AM Eastern time and through today’s close.  Market’s at an inflection point in our work.. … Read More

When you’ve been married long enough (we’re almost to 20-years now) an odd thing begins to happen:  Spouses “borrow” tools from one another. Just last week I’d gone looking for a long-handle razor-scraper.  The old license sticker had to come out of the front window of the truck to make room for the new one.  … Read More

A number of my colleagues have an ongoing discussion about whether a)  News moves the markets or, alternatively B) The Markets “create news.”  Today is a “working paper day” when there’s an opportunity to see the question answered – or not. Around 10:45 AM EDT to the Friday close would be a grand time for … Read More

First the headlines:  “They Ain’t Like in the City.” Now the details… Let’s begin with the garbage discussion because it’s been a fun adventure. When we first moved to the Outback in 2003, there was no garbage service.  People just made a “burn pile” and tossed their junk on it.  Then, once a month (maybe … Read More

Strangely, the same Western Reductionist mindset that gave birth to computers and so much more, may have missed an interesting area of human behaviors that likely affecst markets. Due in part to how our number system is designed: Linear. Today, after crumpets and bean, we shall elucidate how a study of pressure calibration reveals one … Read More

Very short post this morning.  Long one was wiped out when our “big pipe” onto the net went down.  We are in severe thunderstorms this morning so “hold that drought.”  I will be making notes and updating as we go…on battery power right now.  Rain  and hail coming down like mad. Briefly: :  Bitcoin 7,500, … Read More

But first, just to close our the Sasquatch discussion (for now), I did briefly entertain the idea of trying to grab video of one.  The most common place for them to be seen is after a wildlife kill (they seem to like deer) and then relieving themselves in a nearby river or creek.  Tell me a … Read More

Don’t be alarmed by the outburst of another volcano – this one in Guatemala over the weekend.  And it’s not too far south of the parallel that the Hawaiian volcano sits on, if you’ll notice. In Guatemala, a couple of dozen dead from the Fuego volcano eruption.  And in Hawaii, the eruption on the Big … Read More

We pick up our Summer in the Woo-Woo series from where we left it on the Peoplenomics side of the house Saturday. After explaining (in my pending book) that human essence (“soul”) seems to “roost” in live humans around birth time – and leaves shortly after death, we got into the other place some people go – … Read More
