Coping: A “Snap Collapse” Exercise

I have written about this long ago, but it is worth doing again, I suppose:  Now that we’re on the cusp of a weekend, with absolutely no warning whatsoever, go home and did connect your landline, turn off your power at the main breaker, and shut off your water. The cell phone battery comes out, … Read More

Fed Computer Models and GIGO

Yes, you bet!  As soon as I booked the loss on my experimental (and I knew it would be premature) short position, along has come my predicted “One last big down” before we finish at new all times highs in a few weeks (says my modeling) and then we will swan song into the fall. … Read More

Coping: Grid Hard-Down Planning

You may remember last month, or so, back we did a Peoplenomics article on how “certain sources” of ours were concerned about the “urban-spillover” effect in the event of a widespread (REGIONAL AND UP) attack on the power grid. Today, we see another side of this concern coming to light in the report about how the … Read More

The World’s Most Important “Video Game”

Odds are you have never heard of it.  There’s a reason for that:  It doesn’t run on any computer you own, unless you are a mighty power in mathematics (or an unspeakable math geek). But there is a model that is driving government policy.  Since we’re in the midst of a stock market blow-off top, … Read More

Is the “Climate Bubble” Popping, Too?

While we wait for marketing to hit their all-time highs shortly, it is endlessly amusing to see the simple-minded lining up for their next “climate fix.” But a HUGE change is happening – and I predict it will turn into Climategate II when it’s all over, since the scale of the data tampering is just … Read More

Coping: With Solar-Driven “Climate”

I got to looking at our local climate data Monday. Frankly, I was driven to it by the NWS weather radar.  In the wee hours when I got up, we were going to get an inch-and-a-half of rain starting at 7:15 AM.  But lo, and behold, at the appointed hour, it was just a high overcast. … Read More

On Trump’s “Time Travel” Problem

I get a real kick out of watching the market action as we approach a potential longer-term top.  While Bitcoins are doing exactly what we told you they’d be inclined to do – hit record highs – (see Coping Section, next article) there is still the pending matter of a likely stock market blow-off to … Read More

Coping: With Bitcoins and Blockheads

We begin this morning with a brief recounting of the conversation I just had with my editor, Zeus the ‘Charlie Alfa Tango, Actual” who advises us on great spiritual and financial matters. (It’s what black cats do.) If you haven’t seen the quotes yet, the Bitcoins that we had previously advised were “In the Great … Read More

The Greenspan Put

And other matters. Today we look on how my $29,325 experiment is going (answer: ainfully!) and we talk about the next book up Ure’s sleeve. Toss in a few headlines and yep – summer doldrums are here. More for Subscribers       ||| SUBSCRIBE NOW!       |||   Subscriber Help Center

Summer is Time for Fishing

Some left-overs from my national radio appearance last night before we jump into the fresh employment data:  We have noted with interest the empaneling of a grand jury in Washington to hear the allegations about Donald Trump and “Russian money.” I don’t know how much you know about the grand jury process, but having sat … Read More

Coping: With Hydrogen Cars

Yep, they are here, but only on a very limited basis. Turn out, though, one of my colleagues out in San Ramon, California not only bought one but after seeing how cool they were (which I’ll explain in a sec) decided that not only would he buy one for his wife, but for himself as … Read More

22,000+ – Now What?

While the doom porn industry has been having several years of failed predictions about the pending “doom of the US economy” the reality is that we continue in a major up-trend that only seems likely to stop when we have completed an historical rhyme off events of 1929. In that year, when we count the … Read More
