Please excuse our not having a “focus piece” today – I was totally engrossed in trading this week because with market volatility, it’s what I do.  I like to trade.  This week, in particular, trading and future world events are remarkably linked as you shall see. Remember: The work presented here value to any investor … Read More

A chart is presented that makes an interesting comparison with December of 1928. Does this mean there is one more good run up left in the stock market before we get an ultra-crash?

Did religions spontaneously arise from starving tribes establishing regular nutrition and was the Voice of God merely an indication of the breakdown of bicameralism on the way to home sapiens sapiens (or home deluxe)?

The hopeless bullshit levels prompted Elaine and me to put together a Short Course in Reality this afternoon.  See if you can figure this out without help: Uranium One informant says Moscow paid millions in bid to influence Clinton.  Now grok this detailed chart for the dopes who still don’t get this “soft coup” concept: … Read More

George lays out the hypothesis that a “soft coup” is underway in America over the long-term ideological stance of the country. The way he figures it, the stock market is one of the deal points in the coup…

As you may have figured, there are always lots of projects underway around here.  This morning we will go over some of our most favored ones to give you a sense of what keeps us busy when markets aren’t closed. Not that there is a lot of spare time:  I just checked and I’m presently … Read More

Some Ure family context from the last Depression as we look ahead. Along the way, the data says that government per capita employment has doubled in America since 1940. So much for “bang for the buck” huh?

George’s view on Bitcoin’s decline continues spot on. And we ask this morning if the march of international communism is going more on plan than most can see. Especially with California’s turn left as a nearly separate country coming into view…
