After 2001 – Twin Towers – and the somewhat suspicious (too fast) roll-out of the so-called “Patriot Act” a number of people I know quit flying. Oh, not that they were on the no-fly list.

Since I have most of the paper the F.C.C. has ever offered, like the Extra Class ham ticket, the old First Class Commercial ticket and the poor substitute General Radio Operator License, and since banging out 30 words a minute Morse really is fun, you’ll have to forgive me for offering some advice on the … Read More

I have been telling subscribers for, oh gosh, something like a year or longer, that we ought to have one more major blow-off in 2016 – with continuation into 2017 – before the market hits a new all-time high and from which we will plunge into the Depression to End Depressions. We have been working … Read More

Marketing 603 Lecture, huh? Well, seeing as you are still here, curious about this “crooked” stuff… Sorry to be a whiner here, but every so-often I get a little cranky and have to point things out about our dearly beloved internet that just isn’t being reported either by the MSM or the AltPress itself.
