Sorry for the grotesque title. Psycho-social day here. It could have just as easily been “Why you should be long in the market right now but William Dudley of the NY Fed is wrong about “animal spirits” as we will explain. An another native title might have been: George Lectures on Excel VLOOKUP functions and … Read More
George on the Soap Box this morning. Skip the first article if you just want the daily ration of press releases and market stuff. You see? Eventually, when you have enough money, principles DO MATTER. Whether you agree with his policies, or not, president Trump is likely to call for a major revision in the … Read More
It’s true, of course, that everyone has the same number of hours in the day. It’s also true, however, that not everyone gets the same amount of “work” done. I got to thinking about this following our Monday discussion of how “work probably doesn’t “weigh” anything.” After a bit of personal soul-searching, I came to … Read More
I won’t be the one to question the Oscars. Instead I’ll be the one asking “What’s Entertainment?” On the surface, a foolish question. But when I read how “If the LA Times hadn’t broken an embargo in 1940, the Oscars envelope mix-up might have never happened,” it occurred to me that we live in a … Read More
My antigravity research has stumbled on a damning question that I’m, having great difficulty answering: What does “work” weigh? No…seriously! Sure, it’s an odd question for a Monday morning to bandy about. But nevertheless it’s a fascinating one when you get into it a ways. The question came up as I started to clean up … Read More
This morning we look at a kind of novel idea: Should you “document” your home? What would be involved – and what are the payoffs – if any? But first, we zoom-in on our Replay of 1929 roll along and see how the market is doing as it tracks our parabolic blow-off expectations…on our way … Read More
Yeah, I know most people think the stock market was up Thursday. Up about 35 points on the Dow. And I’ll even grant you that the S&P was up a point, too. But please look at the NASDAQ: Dropped 25 points. This is why on our Peoplenomics.com site we tend to look at markets in … Read More
Thursday morning I went down to the airport here in Palestine, Texas, where my flight instructor (prior to selling the plane) helped me put the hangar door back on its track. Last weekend, we had serious winds come through East Texas. The NASA Balloon Base recorded winds as high as 68 MPH. That’s just two … Read More
I could tell you the futures are about flat. Might even mention that Europe, which our Peoplenomics.com readers know is in a “must rally” position to avoid global collapse has given up more than 200 points in the last 24-hours so doesn’t look like we will see a new global (aggregate) all-time-high this week. Or … Read More
simple title art) Reader Note: If you are just catching on, each Thursday we’re are doing a chapter each week of a book I’m writing for Millennials – teaching the insights that will (hopefully!) allow them to live long and prosper – and be around to clean up after us Old People who made a … Read More
We will be focusing on the one reason Peoplenomics exists: To make money by outsmarting the herd when it comes to managing our personal retirement accounts and such. Remember, subscribers have been long this market for 15 weeks and some – using triple levered ETFs – have gains north of 30% which is a huge … Read More
A forty-ounce Thermos of hot coffee and I’m ready to face Tuesday after the Monday semi-holiday. Yes, a lot of people worked it. Since the headlines are devoid of the “world ending” today, the futures are up about 70 points. What I expect will happen will be a modest trade up today and Wednesday and … Read More
When I pulled out the defective water heater to replace it, I discovered that there had been a tiny bit of water leakage under it. Not enough to require pulling up flooring and such, but we will leave it out of commission for another day. Then when we get close to battening things down, we … Read More
