Wake Ure ass up, comrade… it’s Monday and the Revolution is on. Sunday, the hordes were out marching for Bernie and against fracking.  While they were doing that, Ures truly was pondering how the ultimate reasonable balance between energy sources might be reached. It seems the revolution – much talked about, but little evident from … Read More

That’d be the reason to campaign in Spanish when running for American high office, right? We depart from our usual weekend of relaxation to spend hours upon hours reading the highly entertaining non-consensual sex play in the democratic party…which has been brought to light by Wikileaks.org. It’s all about how to screw Bernie Sanders – … Read More

(Tacoma, WA) —  With the markets obediently following my calls (surprising even me, mind you) we will have a nice, short, to the point discussion of the charts this morning and we can kick around what I’m doing in the way of a position once we get through the second half of the political silly … Read More

The stock market is NOT on the verge of collapse this morning. That’s just one indicator that Donald Trump may be the real deal that democrats fear most. You see, after a successful conclusion to the convention, if Trump was really seen widely as a danger to business, the market would be screaming this – … Read More

Now that we have a short break between the political gatherings, before the democrats nominate a woman better suited to receiving a felony indictment than Oval Office occupancy, how about we focus on something a little more positive? Like this: What is the Next American Frontier? We have been through several: When I was young, … Read More

I’m not really one to talk about people who have two standards because I don’t take such people in high regard. Yet, when Ted Cruz last night refused to come out and endorse his party’s nominee for the presidency, that was about the last straw. When the primary mess began, wasn’t Cruz one of the … Read More

(Tacoma, WA) – This morning’s update is a little more brief than usual due to Microsoft “updating” my computer for a good part of the time that should have been spent writing.  Grrrrr…. Onto the first point:  I happened to be listening to an ad on the radio while we were driving up here from … Read More

(Tacoma, WA)  — This morning’s report will come out a bit strangely becvause Microsoft decideed to apply a software update to my main computer – so this morning’s report is coming – an hour later than normal) from Elaine’s. As a result, we will have only the financial report this morning, but rest assured, there … Read More

(Baker City, OR) — Boy, am I ever fun to go on “vacation with” or what? “Honey, just one beer…but I have to get back to the room and works on charts because I’ve been working on this new theory about long wave economics while we’ve been watching the scenery go by…” Yep…that while explaining … Read More

(Ogden, UT)  —  There is an invisible line that is crossed in America; not unlike the Mason-Dixon Line of pre-Civil War days. It seems to run from about Phoenix  (Scottsdale specifically), on up through Utah, and then up north to about Montana.   From there, the line turns right and runs  down just south of Chicago … Read More

I haven’t made too big a deal about the state of America’s highways – and wasn’t going to – until the past day of travel had us spending an inordinate amount of time (delays) either running on the shoulder of freeways under repair and generally down at 45 miles per hour. We noted the road … Read More

(Fort Collins, CO.) — U.S. Market Futures were up about 24-points when I looked. But from the clear air of the Rockies, which I assure you ain’t in Denver, the smart thing to do this week seems to be sit in cash and simply watch events. Not that the market can’t climb the fabled “wall … Read More

I lock myself in my office for 11-months and what happens? The country goes freaking nuts! From the beginning though: As I explained to Peoplenomics readers this past weekend, there are some serious economic aspects of our current trip up to Seattle. We write this morning from Ft. Collins, Co., where – I am pleased … Read More
