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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The M1 money supply is being pumped like mad! Source: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/current/default.htm

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

We may be seeing the “leading edges” of the passing of the modern Automobile business model. A short trip down History Lane to put this all into perspective, starting with two snips from Wikipedia to set the course.  First, the historical origins: “Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the first full-scale, self-propelled mechanical vehicle … Read More

Normally, we don’t mention such items, but we have been experiencing a dandy story here in East Texas this morning. Since 5 AM we’ve had more than 5.5″ of rain dumped on us, and doing a little math on how much water than is for our 29-acre patch of Paradise, it pencils out to about … Read More
