Yeah.  I know.  “Last thing you need, Ure, is another damn hobby…” Admittedly, between Elaine and I, we’ve been through a few of them.  Most recently, I’ve been taking a break every forty-minutes and hitting either the treadmill or the weight machine for 10-minutes of “high intensity training” on the theory that I’ll live long.  … Read More

We have been holding our breath for the market to hit one of our long-projected highs.  To be sure, we got there Wednesday (picture in a second) but I would have liked to have seen it faster.  Like a month ago. This is one of those “big uglies” in economics that no one likes to … Read More

I’ve been looking at the calendar a lot lately.  Coming up sooner than ever, it seems, on “the holidays.” In Texas, holidays include the opener of the bow season for deer, opening of the youth season for deer (where an amazing number of 6-7 year olds are leased and immediately become expert shots with a … Read More

I touched on this morning’s topic on the UrbanSurvival site Tuesday. Where will the high for this market hit? This morning the details.  You see, it raises very interesting technical questions:  Do Elliott Wave principles apply to Aggregated Market data, for example? And in our Focus section: A comparison of the 1929 stock bubble run-up … Read More

We have been delighted this morning (since 4 AM!) to have found an upcoming “area of agreement” between two very interesting wave counts.  As you may know, we have a spreadsheet on the Peoplenomics.com subscriber site that we call the “brainamp.xls” What this little gem does is it lets you put in any two points … Read More

I came in from the shop, where I’ve been going through the woodpile.  As I explained last week, this is not something to be taken lightly. There are now four kinds of wood in the Ure household. One is scheduled for construction projects.  This wood is generally, or more feet in length, free of nails, … Read More

The headlines are an odd assortment this morning:  One of the big ones features the Dow showing a 119 point rally in the works, per the futures, as we hit the pixels. But beneath it all, we see some signs of weakness not to be under-estimated.  While it’s too early to talk about damage from … Read More

193 pages.  181 footnotes. 4-weeks of every waking minute outside of Urban and Peoplenomics.  And now the BIG problems begin. Dimensions Next Door will not be ready for proofreading for a couple of more weeks because the book laid out some directions to potential intellectual property (patents) and I need to get them done and … Read More

The recent outbreak of weather (and seismic) events, forest fires, and so on, has us thinking about the best use of money. If you have prepped as long as we have, the cases of ammo, buckets of food, barrels of water, and all the rest is really overkill. But if you’re one of those people … Read More

Gosh, yesterday I was telling you how there was a case in current market action for there to be some recovery in the markets and, should it all hold how we could go on to new highs. That would be based on “good news” which was being priced into the market. Then something happened in … Read More

I have offered for years that one of the sure-fire markers of the arriving Second Great Depression will be the increasing regulation of the Internet. When it comes, and I spelled out the case for it in one of my books (Broken Web) that it will have to, one of the first area’s I’d like … Read More

The Wikipedia entry sees all, explains all, about this morning’s column: “Carnac the Magnificent was a recurring comedic role played by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. One of Carson’s most well-known characters, Carnac was a “mystic from the East” who could psychically “divine” unknown answers to unseen questions.” Thing is, based … Read More

With my consigliere due to show up at Uretopia in less than a month, we have gone into the “deep cleaning” mode around the ranch.  If my writing has been slightly unhinged lately, it is likely due to the big domestic changes underway. The good thing about living on a 40-foot sailboat for 10+ year … Read More
