While we are pleased to have made it to another Christmas, there is a nagging problem that has been tearing at me over the past couple of days. It’s like going to a “Magic Show” and finding yourself – after the main act – asking “What did I see – and what was REAL?” To … Read More

A Christmas story from the reporter’s notebook: With no hoopla or public notice other than a short obituary, a young man died up in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this month. Out of respect for the family, I won’t use his real name. For our note this morning we’ll simply call him John. John was like … Read More

One of the most popular myths out of ancient times is that there was a city called Babel and there people built “to the heavens” and in the end were punished, a great common language destroyed, and so much for globalism 101. Well this morning an interesting note from the Jewish studies group up in … Read More

Dear Professor Shiller, an Open Letter, if I may. I think you almost got it. But not quite, in my view. I refer to the interview on CNBC t’other day. “Trump rally could be like Coolidge’s Roaring ’20s before Depression, Nobel-winning economist warns…” As we both know, the current fad in economics is quantitative nonsense. … Read More

Computational Futuring for breakfast today.  A few headlines to get the coffee rolling this morning, then our first day of Winter issue gets into a novel way of futuring that will likely be incorporated in our further software adventures into futuring called Nostracodeus II. S-curves are really interesting critter because they help visually sense what … Read More

Several things to go over this morning: First off is the condition of Gold. As I told you, we are (IMHO) in immediate danger between now and March 1 of seeing gold break below the $1,000 level. Before that can happen, though, we will first break the $1,100 handle and that could happen before year-end. … Read More

The other morning Elaine and I were sitting around talking about gifts. And I came to the conclusion that one of the best gifts I could give you as a reader of UrbanSurvival (and hopefully our Peoplenomics.com premium service) would be the gift of productivity. A lot of readers have asked me over the years. … Read More

There are several reasons to expect a pullback in the market one of these days. A case for later today might be made, depending on how the Electoral College rolls today. There have been threats, many states (including Texas) have assigned state police to projection details, and there are all those “Hillary in the Woods” … Read More

Here at UrbanSurvival.com, we like to be ahead of the trends. One of the ways we do this is by working 10-14 hours per day, seven days a week following pertinent trend-evolving news. The other way is sitting back with a solid generalization process in order that we truly understand the business implicates when a … Read More

We continue out backroom lab work on one of the most exciting segments of science in a long time, namely the growing interest (and positive results) being recorded  by photo biomodulation. While we covered some of the work in our October 8 report, there is a lot more to report and the use of light … Read More

We have been patiently gaming out what little we understand about the plans of the left who hope Monday to steal the election away from Donald Trump. Schematically, the process maps something like this: For a discussion of “Media Stunts” see the Coping Section which follows. A Google News search (here) reveals that both sides … Read More

First thing this morning I have to get off my chest is the article in the New York Post Thursday which got my blood pressure so high it was squirting out of my ears. It was so bad. The story is headlined “Celebrities beg electors to be ‘heroes’ and vote against Trump” and features an … Read More

I told you so. I am not going to rub this in too much, and certainly this is not salt in your wounds. But the price of gold is down as much $32 in commodities and down almost $11 in the spot market when I looked because the Fed raised a quarter and not a … Read More
