Housing:  I hadn’t heard too much from my son for a while – and got to wondering what was up with him so I rang him up and he’s got a new GF.  No news there EXCEPT:  The new GF has figured out how to totally game “the system” in a crowded big city – … Read More

Ure is tired this morning — that’s what happens when one stays up all night and talks on CoastToCoastAM with George Noory.  As a result,, this morning we will have a blissfully to-the-point discussion of the charts and the new book (and print edition with free Kindle version) is just out, Dimensions Next Door: Hacking … Read More

A special note for CoastToCoastAM listeners: (You will need to click on this post to see the chart) We have been tracking the apparent “resonance” between the psychological mood of the country now as compared to the Roaring Twenties.  In the chart below, you can see how closely the advances fit. (Continues below)   Just … Read More

When I’m not writing books, pursuing projects in Old Man Labs, or just trying to keep up with 30 acres of land that gets 55-inches a rain a year, our main focus continues to be on long wave economics. The “hero” of this field is Nikolai Kondratiev who proposed that there is a regular 48-64 year … Read More

A super-short column this morning since it’s a crazy-day around here. I’ll be on CoastToCoast with George Noory tonight talking about the book (and probably markets, too, since we’ve been spectacularly right on those) – and since that means I will be up more of the night, I try to “bank some sleep” ahead of … Read More

The insanity of the 1929 replay continues this morning with stocks set to open another 200 points higher by the Dow.  Even more astounding is that Bitcoin is now seemingly comfortable over 11,000 – and perhaps could go to $20,000 within a month (or three) at present rates. Yes, indeed, the world is nuts, but … Read More

I hope my sources on several matters are dead-wrong, but they are usually not.  So this morning I’m  going to share some inputs with you and then offer up some action points both for you as well as your loved ones. First, an email from my deflationist pal Jas.  You know don’t him, but his … Read More

This morning we explain how the fabled $20.5-trillion in national debt is really more like $61-trillion in debt. And since we’re in such a dandy, caring, sharing, and giving mood, we will also explain how the supposed Tax Cut passed by the Senate really screws everyone and will at far more than the MSM-hyped $1.4 … Read More

Among our many problems in the U.S. is this one involving self-delusion about the bubble of “money, government, free lunch, and public debt.” Problem’s this:  At some point the free lunch will run out.  This morning, Tax Reform is being outed for what it really is – just another scheme to give you a break … Read More

I was doing some house-cleaning Thursday and found a column that I’d never gotten around to posting.  Since I’ll be on CoastToCoast next week, which usually brings a younger crowd wandering through, seemed like a good time to post it. I should have tossed into my earlier book, The Millennial’s Missing Manual: What School Didn’t … Read More

World’s a crazy place these days.  Young people, who should be having the time of their lives, forming families, making professional investments in themselves, and achieving high states of personal excellence have mainly, as a group, downgraded themselves to phone-zombies.  Shame, that.  (Ref URL “Smartphone Addiction Creates Imbalance in Brain .”) To make “grown-up” finance accessible … Read More

The Ure household is nominally non-denominational. But, that doesn’t blind us to the fact that there is now – and always has been – an ongoing battle between forces of “evil” and “good.” To the point:  We are seeing a number of indicators this year that are telling us in no uncertain terms, that this … Read More

Here is a question that will intrigue you if you look for any length of time at Long Wave Economics.  Are there substitutes for ‘war’?  If so, how would government test-bed an economic substitute?  Not too many hints should be needed:  Simply think Satoshi.’  The New World Order’s plan to take down the financial system … Read More
