As we are still catching up with (the damn) time change, a collection of observations about people is about you’ll get out of me.  Until we get into the market data shortly which this morning is scheduled to include the Consumer Price Index. Consumer Prices are an odd thing.  If you are a monetarist, all … Read More

This is a hell of a week for stocks.  We have option quadruple expiration Friday, and with the Dow very near the same levels as last month, we don’t expect too much out of the ordinary until the following Monday. Despite being up 50 points in the early futures trade, remember the market STILL needs … Read More

A tale about prepping – with a large order of woo-woo this morning.  Lots of background to the prepping point, as well – which is our agenda – plus a ton of woo-woo. As long-term readers know, Elaine and I went with friends (Robin and Judy) to see Johnny Mathis at the “world’s largest casino” this … Read More

This weekend, our Peoplenomics section is abbreviated (charts only) because of our “quicky” mini-vacation up to Oklahoma this weekend. We return to the regular format with Wednesday’s report. More for Subscribers       ||| SUBSCRIBE NOW!       |||   Subscriber Help Center

Elaine and I are back at the ranch (Sunday afternoon). First order of business will be to update the Peoplenomics charts.  And then tomorrow morning we will talk about the trip and such… Not sure why our Sunday “Make” postings didn’t go, but that will hold for next week… Now, off to apply nose to … Read More

I have been watching with rapt fascination (like in a horror flick) as the data comes in on Bitcoin Trading which we’ve been tracking using our trend-channels and Elliott wave counts.  Up until now, it had looked like the worst might be over, but this morning when we looked at how the coiners were doing, our … Read More

I must report to you that a terrible crisis is upon the world.  What has long passed as New Age – with a heaping side of woo-woo – is being dashed on the rocks of Reality, grounded in Science. You see:  This week I have been deeply thinking and contemplating on the implications of the recent discovery … Read More

This is one of those slow-motion roll-outs that happens every month:  The latest job numbers come in three ways:  ADP has a job creation report.  Out yesterday and up.  Meantime, Challenger job cuts is just out and reads like this: “The nation’s employers announced plans to cut 35,369 jobs in February, down 20 percent from the 44,653 cuts … Read More

A couple of times in the last month, I’ve been to town for things like the doctor’s office, the Tractor Supply store, and a “cheater burger” along the way; the usual stuff. On these trips, I started to notice people’s shoes.  They’ve changed – even here in the outback. When we moved here 2003’ish, this … Read More

Starts our quest in the Focus section this morning. After a few bends and twists on the road tracking down the future, we are gob-smacked by a mutha-giant of a fact.The Information Age is over.  Right there in the data.  Which we’ll get to after coffee, headlines, charts and a discussion about my “shorts.”  Which … Read More

Sure looks that way to us as we tend to make investments based on the concept of “price channels.” When I take a snip from the www.bitcoincharts.com website and toss my trend-channel view at things, it looks like the way is opening for a rally to north of $35,000 – but this is not investment advice! … Read More

So, want to be rich, do you? I get that from a lot of people.  But when I ask “What have you done about it?” very few people actually have a solid answer.  Mostly, I get a look like “What?” To my way of thinking, though, the odds of anyone being rich is a very doable … Read More

As I disclosed to our Peoplenomics.com subscribers this weekend, I took decent-sized (anything over $25,000 is “decent-sized” around here) leveraged short position in the market right at the close Friday. Nerves of steel, momentary trading-insanity, or a wild speculation?  This week, we should find out which. Our odd-ball approach to investing deserves a bit of explanation:  … Read More
