No point wading through all the data first:  After all, most folks these days “…don’t let the facts get in the way of their opinions…”  We’re good with that.  Who needs facts when we have social? Here’s what I think the market should do in simple 1-2-3 fashion (but if it doesn’t, don’t whine to me, … Read More

Yeah, sure, we wrote the book on bugging out.  Who else do you know who was ready at the time of Y2L to unplug the power from the dock and was ready to head out to see the world with a few gold coins and a paid-for 40-foot sailboat – fully stocked for the occasion? … Read More

With Bitcoins going on to new – record – highs today, $5,179 and change, we will be updating our projections on the Peoplenomics side of the house Saturday. No point to getting too carried away with things just yet:  We want to see the new highs hold for a couple of days.  But if they do, … Read More

If there’s a lesson to be learned from those horrible fires that continue to plague the area of Sonoma and Napa counties out in California, it’s that land management needs to be taken more seriously. I took the camera out on our property Wednesday and shot a few pictures to illustrate a couple of points … Read More

Much on the plate this morning, so right to it after the headlines and some notes on how the market is following our recent outlooks to a ‘tee.’ Barely time for coffee, there’s so much ground to cover… More for Subscribers       ||| SUBSCRIBE NOW!       |||   Subscriber Help Center

As we forecast last Wednesday (with remarkable accuracy, lol) What we are witnessing in the market today is the K2 formation described.  More tomorrow…

What is the “news?” Not to be too cynical (who, me?) but there is damn little of what is passed-off as “news” that is genuinely and personally useful. The main aspect of “news” – after 50-years of chasing it, or making it – is that which will impact my life today and is different from … Read More

It’s hard to be a lone voice of sanity in a mostly crazy (present company excepted) world. Take this email from a colleague.  Fellow is the “smartest guy in the room” which comes to economics but in politics?  Not so much.  I don’t think he’d mind me sharing bit of his email as it’s a … Read More

While this is a state and federal holiday, the forces of political correctness, particularly what some academics call The Network’s embeds in the national media, will have no problem using the occasion to bash the Trump administration because (in case you’re too distracted to notice) Trump, el al, don’t have any problem being sovereign individuals. The … Read More

As most readers will remember, I have been writing a new book (non-fiction) that while terribly interesting, also seems to tie together a world of diverse woo-woo phenomena. We tie, for example, a 1970 reported “flight through a time warp” with things like the Philadelphia Experiment, odd disappearances and happenings along certain crustal over-thrust areas … Read More

Our topic this morning?  How to compress knowledge.  Or, more properly, how to restructure it so it becomes much more useful and accessible than it presently is. In other words, we eye the transition from idiotically verbose knowledge to “distilled knowledge” of the sort that fits into fields of a database. After, that is, we … Read More

Latest from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is just out: “The unemployment rate declined to 4.2 percent in September, and total nonfarm payroll employment changed little (-33,000), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. A sharp employment decline in food services and drinking places and below-trend growth in some other industries likely reflected the … Read More

This morning’s speculation is thanks to our Peoplenomics subscribers.  As I’ve repeatedly mentioned, they provide for the “Fortress of Solitude” where we go to work on what Cal Newport would call Deep Work  (Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World).   We have written extensively of this concept on the Peoplenomics side, though little on the … Read More
