Did I make money on the market break yesterday which we’ve been yammering about for more than a month? Yes. 3.6% for the day, thanks for asking. OK, gimme the name of even ONE other website that was telling you – free – from mid-February that we should have a steep decline March 22 – … Read More
In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting last year I wrote a mighty long piece in which I not only chronicled the adventures of a hypothetical Deep State operation that I dubbed Directorate 153, but I also first mentioned the criticality of March 22. The adventure – which I have clipped and posted from the original … Read More
Well, here we is (sic) – March 22 – and this is ideally when in our strange view of reality, US Market MIGHT take to the high-board in a very 1929-like way. I predicted this last month based on our work on the Peoplenomics side of the house, Dow futures were down more than 200 points earlier. We … Read More
One of my daughters, I have to say, got high marks from dad this week when we talked about how she and her hubby were doing in their new apartment. They had been in a great shared house deal, but that fell apart due to a serious foundation water leak. Exit the great finished basement and … Read More
A word of caution: Avoid the temptation to blast co-humans with the catchier tracks linked in this morning’s report.A bit longish, sure – especially if you listen to all the music links. This is a study of music that reveals a great deal of the general processes involved in obsolizing/obsoleting humans. Music’s a marvelous context … Read More
With the Fed meeting today, we are looking at the larger picture and asking…the same old question. Where’s the value? We think social media is beginning to crack up and as we laid out their business models as far back as 2013, we could see trouble coming. But, it’s not social media that’s gone bad. When today’s latest … Read More
Does which way the toilet paper comes off the roll define your income? About 10-years ago, we did an information survey and it seemed that when the paper comes off the front of the roll, rather than the back, that there’s a weak association with higher household income. Or, at least there was when we asked back … Read More
Let’s talk about something you won’t find on the “conspiracy” sites, and yet when considered in a nice, even-handed scientific way, makes eminent sense: We should be on guard for a new “hot button” to show up in headlines in the next week (or several) because the “emotional controls” on the population are getting weak … Read More
OK, no “making stuff” article Sunday, because I was spending time in my shop because I have a new project going on in background…blah, blah, blah. Except, that in the process, I got terribly peeved when my THIRD damn paper towel holder in the shop BROKE. Right after I took a picture of the last … Read More
You know something is hot – and bothering the you – when my children call and ask “Dad…WTF?” The day I’m being interviewed about my book on hacking space-time? Very odd timing, indeed… “Did you hear about the alien warning?” Involved is a viral voicemail (onYouTube for the moment here) but there is a … Read More
I spent a fair number of hours this week going through the 1928 and 1929 newspaper morgue of the Library of Congress online.I loved it – a grand non-numerical way to “sense” the rolling end of the Roaring Twenties and look for plays today that rhyme long-past events. We’ll get to it, just as soon … Read More
On the Peoplenomics side of the house, we will be taking on a very complicated subject in the ChartPack tomorrow: How much of our contradictory signals in the economy right now can be traced back to corporate tax reform? And while THAT debate (and modeling) continue, there’s the matter of the coming jobs collapse … Read More
