Back in our “sailing days” when UrbanSurvival was young, and we were living on our sailboat in San Francisco (video), we would go out into “Hurricane Alley” on a regular basis and do the “Sausalito beat” to weather, up past Alcatraz, while the tour boats zigged their way around us and the big “meter” boats … Read More

It’s like chasing after unicorns, trying to get a Leprechaun to part with a pot of gold, or trying to find an honest politician:  Finding the Master Key to Stock Market Profits is not a simple pursuit. That said, as we continue the computational exercises, we have come upon a promising new tool which we … Read More

There were 19-posts waiting for approval in the comment section of UrbanSurvival when I took an hour break to grab a bite of something to eat and go out to the mailbox and back. Of 19,  only a couple were responsive to a post on my site.  The rest, being driven by someone’s return from a promised … Read More

While we wait to see if the market can gain 200 on the Dow in 2 days left in our ATH window, we are going to have some fun this morning:  One of our subscribers asked, essentially, if someone handed you a million bucks, what would you do with it? This kind of this is … Read More

In Peoplenomics tomorrow morning, I’ll give a full run-down in our ChartPack section, but for now there is a building case that the Market Top came in on August 4th. I have mentioned this previously.  See the discussion on August 11th where we wondered “Is the Market Top Already In? ” Now, with a declining trend … Read More

It’s been said that even someone who has lived a so-so life has at least one good book in them. After writing several books now, my latest effort – Dimensions Next Door – has taken two quite remarkable turns. They’re the kind of thing that happens when the Universe wants you do complete something.  So in … Read More

I don’t say they are too common, but it would be hard for me match the last total eclipse I remember:  the one June 30, 1973. I was news director of KOL AM/FM at the time and I had arranged with a friend, Captain Ed. Wolkowitz, who was a Texas ham and pilot for Continental … Read More

We behold another spectacle of human stupidity as stories abound today about how people are “staking out” places to watch the eclipse (which is just getting underway and coming towards the U.S.). Let me explain:  Humans have always worshipped the Sun.  Read this Wikipedia entry that proves my point: “Ra (/r??/;[1] Egyptian: R?, R?) or … Read More

As a subscriber, you already have my mailing address…so please pass it on to the Nobel Prize people. I’m sure you will want to do this – after you read this morning’s dirt-simple explanation of the “new Reality” that the Fed just don’t seem to be able to get its arms around. That, plus a … Read More

A remarkable idea has put my “brain on fire” since it occurred to mean at 1:345 AM today:  What would have happened to the Stock Market in 1929 if there had been a widespread, Tulipmania-like competitor to investing in stocks at the September 3, 1929 all-time highs? It is well-documented in the literature that bubbles … Read More

My personal “to-do” list is about 10-miles long and it will likely take most of the weekend to get it done. Sometimes, there is – as a mentor trained me years ago – no alternative but to write it all down, prioritize the list and then just devote time on task. The new treadmill that … Read More

The biggest headline on Drudge  earlier this morning?  “FoxNews host death threats after criticizing Trump.” Following linked story from Drudge will land you on a Variety page where we read “Fox News host Eboni K. Williams on receiving death threats after segment criticizing Trump.”  Yet, after reading the story (several times) I couldn’t find anything … Read More

Been “one of those weeks” so far. Turns out the doc appointment is this morning – not Wednesday.  I missed a meal for nothing.  Why I had both days marked in Outlook is a mystery. And then the replacement treadmill showed up Tuesday.  The delivery truck couldn’t get onto the property (too big) and they … Read More
