We need to understand that the US Congress and Senate are presently structuring their slow-motion war on the average American citizen’s private assets which will be finalized when the U.S. economic system descends into Depression shortly. That’s because in finance, as in rocketry, what goes UP usually comes Down.  And we’ve been going up since 1943. This means … Read More

There is a “missing R” in the phrase reuse, recycle, repurpose…and this morning we delve into the surprisingly favorable personal economics behind it. First, though, a few headlines as we roll into what it technically the last weekend of Spring. More for Subscribers       ||| SUBSCRIBE NOW!       |||   Subscriber Help Center

For months we have been waiting to see how the suspected all-time-high in markets will work out for the final third of August.  Now, things are slowly resolving into focus. The stock market continues to fight something of a losing battle on an aggregated basis (which as you know is all we really care about) … Read More

You may remember a good while back (and it might have been on the Peoplenomics.com site) that we did a fair-sized discussion about the Taurid Meteor Shower and the very first Halloween some 15,560 years ago (approximately). This morning from remarks from another brother of the Oak Leafs, warhammer, who is similarly concerned about “what … Read More

(This will be updated as data is released) We will have an unusually short and to the point column this morning because I have a) been coding for the past 5-hours down in the CSS levels of the new website that I mentioned in Peoplenomics Wednesday and b) I have all the parts to get … Read More

Water, water, everywhere? We need to have a discussion guided by the writings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.  He’s the “old dead dude” who wrote in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner our theme for this morning: “Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” (continues) What … Read More

Heady topic this morning as we take off down a different rabbit hole.  We’re going to “re-cast the news” and get rid of some of the shrill. As you know the term “fake news” has become quite popular lately, but as we shall demonstrate (complete with a class project and new website  as time permits) … Read More

A lot of so-called futurists are out on statistical limbs once again, prediction five-digit highs for BTCs and much more.  We also have the usual herd of newsletter writers (some claiming past work with government agencies) making lots of other projections about where markets will head next. Around here, we tend to sit back and use … Read More

Oh, boy…this will be complicated, but follow along. As you may know, I have been working on increasing my PK ability in order to do a little better at gambling. And this led to this really interesting book about gaming and learning how to rock the house. (continues) But where the book got interesting was … Read More

More on  this tomorrow but action in the bond market seems to support the view that a further decline – while possible – may not be in the cards.  Accordingly, I closed out my short position having made enough money for a (cheap) dinner and a movie, lol. This is NOT investment advice, but rather … Read More

A lot of people spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about “conventional” prepping.  And while that is often a good thing, it can also be one huge distraction that will keep you from making maximum money in this lifetime… Last week I posted my latest stock trade publicly – something I don’t usually do.  You … Read More

This being a Monday and all, no point in getting too serious yet about all the nonsense and foolishness around the world. Instead, let’s talk about Airplanes and Ham Radio. Far more interesting pastimes that simply trading stocks and making money.  Besides, you can’t trade markets on the weekend. (continues) The first note is about aircraft … Read More

Got food?  Water?  Dandy first-aid kit?  A lifetime supply of toi8let paper?  Cooking surface (like a rocket stove)?  Foraging books? Sleeping bags?  Serious walking shoes? Exit/bug-out plans?  Food rotation plans?  Sprouting seeds?  Manual and magneto-running garden tools that are EMP proof?  Couple of solar panels, batteries, inverters, shortwave radio?  Ham radio gear, communications plan, guns, … Read More
