If everything went according to plan, my buddy the retired Major from Gig Harbor will just be stirring as he and his wife arrived at Uretopia Ranch last night. Last, as always, and now done with kibitzing until past midnight. They’re on a stopover enroute to a medical conference in SoCal next week. And we … Read More

Want something to worry about – I mean other than the big “Hillary Out” in the Enquirer (on news stands today)? We do a lot of modeling and test-fitting of bits of news – then let the mind wander to see what might be on the horizon. This morning we offer a shockingly comprehensive “piece-fit” … Read More

Gather ‘round the electric chair, kiddies. Uncle George will read ja the data just out from BLS.  Rent and gas are up, like you didn’t notice. “The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.3 percent in September on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the … Read More

With the election close, and with a big dust-up at Mosul, and with the US threatening to directly confront Russian forces in Syria, we have to realistically stop and assess the odds of nuclear war.

Whistling by the graveyard, yelling at the tide, or talking sense to someone with a closed mind: It’s all the same thing. Denial. We start this morning two headlines that everyone should be thinking about, though few will outside of UrbanSurvival readers. There’s no new Pokémon to be birthed from the effort, after all. Still, … Read More

Roll up your sleeve.  Time for another Reality Inoculation…. It was an odd conversation, as most of ours are around the ranch: Elaine and I were thinking back to the “times of old” when men could open a car door for a woman without being sent to Chauvinist Hell. When people said “Please, yes, thank … Read More

Eventually, this concept will have to emerge from the lab and into the light of economic day. But this morning we lay out an interesting treatise on how the Fed revealed in Janet Yellen’s Friday speed that they are “perception limited” by conventional economics. Long article this morning, so three cups may be needed. More … Read More

Remember yesterday’s column, where I explained why the market would drop? This morning I can write the reciprocal column without even having to put on the thinking cap. Shall we?

If the premarket/futures are right, the Dow should dump about 100 points around the time of the open today. In addition, the first target level of support for the S&P 500 around 2,120 looms as possible, too. If the market takes a hard bounce up from these levels, then we will rally into next Spring, … Read More

With the moving this week of my brother-in-law and his wife to their new home in town, I’m starting another adventure here. The apartment they were in is due for a rework and I’m actually looking forward to it. There is something really enjoyable in working with your hands and creating something of value out … Read More

OK…serious about making money, right?  My net portfolio value was up 3.86% Tuesday. Did you see it coming?  It was exactly what we were talking about in last Saturday’s report which I told you (usefully and in advance)  “After, that is, we take a look at the charts and a number of “triangle formations” which … Read More
