In long wave economics, our main forte, we are in a lazy holding pattern.  The market could continue on up, but to do so would require the recent highs of the past week be exceeded and we don’t see that at the open this morning with Dow futures down 25 and broader indicators saying it should … Read More

Super short column tomorrow morning as Elaine and I take off at 8 AM Friday to head up to Tulsa, Oklahoma and the Saturday night Tom Jones show with friends.  I have been working on “generating luck” for some probability studies in the casino, too. Panama Bates will hold down the fort here. I proposed … Read More

If you’re a DIY’er, have we got the details (and pictures) for you:  How to build your own light crown complete with parts lists and prices. With 30 graphics, this morning’s report may load slower than usual… Then, in charts, looks like disaster is coming back into fashion…so bean-up and we roll…. More for Subscribers       … Read More

I clicked into the short side of the market this morning in the Extended Hours session.  Admittedly, it’s a long-shot, but there is a technical possibility (based on aggregate market behaviors).  And, if it doesn’t work out, I won’t be in even the whole day. The common “buzz” is that the market is going higher … Read More

They’re coming for your sick leave, next. Then, they want your home equity. People living in the media bubble like to insist that there is no Deep State.  Yet, there’s an emerging case in Texas that proves the point we’ve been making for years – namely that nowadays, the Government Rules – not We the People. Worse? It … Read More

We’ve been  thinking with an interesting data metrics idea for timing market moves up, or down.  Specifically it has to do with what I would describe as the global psychological analog  to out existing work in aggregated markets. The simplest was to describe it is the notion that taken as a whole, the world some weeks … Read More

Among the many failings of the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, our adventures this weekend with the FTA have brought a lot of things into perspective for us.  They’re worth some thought. First, what is FTA? Well, that’s short for  free-to-air television.  Most people are happy watching the “corporate-filtered” news dispensed in America to the … Read More

In the Friday morning “Coping” section on UrbanSurvival.com I proposed something outrageou, even for us.As readers know, we have been collecting a huge “bubble” of anomalous-event reports in the past week, including several “far-out” events rights here at the ranch in East Texas. But, this morning we take it further and expand on the inquiry … Read More

There is a weak case, but a case nevertheless, to be made that woo-woo upticks may be associated with stock market directional changes. Over the past two weeks, we have had a major uptick in both personal “woo-woo” along with reader-submitted reports.  These come as the market may have, in this period, flipped from a likely outcome of … Read More

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
