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

Yeah…this is going to sound nuts…but hear me out. This endeavor sounds like it’s way past the borders of pseudoscience…BUT maybe not completely, as we’ll explain. Before revealing specific plans to construct a “luck machine”  we must be clear about what luck is, how it’s part of the forces of Universe.  Not just that, but how it’s … Read More

Nuclear war is a potential flashpoint now that Israel has definitive evidence that Iran Lied about their secret … Read More

First, let me wish you well with your celebrations today in honor of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, after which the modern May Day was fashioned. Like Christmas and Easter, there’s a heaping tablespoon of subjectivity to the date.  You see, originally it was April 27th, or close-enough. The Celtic Beltane (spring festival, not to be confused … Read More

The key is properly orchestrating a media-fooling blend of actual deflation, the never spoken of Modern Monetary Theory, and backed up with high print rates of fiat money. Since … Read More

This weekend was full of “Making” things around the ranch.  Because it was so cool in the mornings, high 40’s, it got me to doing some serious noodling on this whole climate issue. Another factor was sweating…a lot!  When the morning starts off with coffee and it’s 56 in the shop, that’s what I’d call perfect … Read More
