Coping: Living with “Subtle Energies”

It struck me in the shower this morning that we haven’t talked about subtle energy, for a while. What is “subtle energy?” Well, depending on who you ask, it is either: A) The medium through which prayer, intension, and to some degree hope (and luck) operates. B) It is related to astral influences – and … Read More

Investing–With IRS???

Markets: Adventure in the “Land of Sideways”

An early check this morning and the markets were up 86-Dow points on the Futures. If you are totally awake, you will be wondering something like “Yeah, but what about that 174 point nose bleed on Thursday?” Pay it no mind.  At least, not yet. Around here, we look at things on an aggregated basis, … Read More

Coping: How “Monetization” Explains EVERYTHING

“Everything is a Business Model.” That has been our long-standing primary principle of clear thinking around here.  It is as True today as it was the first time I mentioned it years, and years ago. My life-long chum from up in the Seattle area is visiting for a while – and as I went to … Read More

Rounds with Dr. George

Differential Diagnosis time as light returns to ‘Mercia. Yes, time for that ever-popular feature around here we call “Let’s Play Doctor!” “Alright.  I give.  What set George off on this track?” With a house guest showing up, I was glancing at some of the books on the “guest Kindle” and I happened to spy two … Read More

Coping: Niburu and What Would “End Times” Look Like?

I don’t want to imply that our discussion in Peoplenomics on Wednesday was a rehash of the old Planet X story.  Because there is definitely something more to it, than that. While it is true (near as we can tell) that occasionally Kuiper Belt objects show up and mess things up on Earth (as well … Read More

Why are [important] People “Looking Up?”

For a second time in less than six months, one of our sources is talking about looking to developments in deep space. As you will recall, a special Halloween edition of Peoplenomics pointed out that the most celebrated holiday in the world is that — Halloween. We also went into the reasons – including events … Read More

The Flavor of the Market’s Pause

Things are about to get interesting. The way it becomes interesting is running (like an old TSR program) is in background.  The news events we see swirling about this morning may be interesting, but the REAL IMPORTANT decisions about how things are going to work out are off running out of sight. What is so … Read More

Coping: The Lazy Man’s Guide to Yard Work

Notwithstanding the snow which is a bit unexpected in the (midst of global warming) on the upper East Coast this week, it is time to get real about what comes with Spring.  Besides “Hey! Hey First of May, Outdoor (ahem) starts today!” Unfortunately what really starts about now is yard work. I’ve got at least … Read More

On Trump’s “Major Recession” Remarks

I love the smell of denial in the morning. Over the weekend, presidential hopeful Donald Trump laid out his concerns about a massive recession coming, but almost as quickly as the words were out of his mouth, the media started hammering that Trump was off-the-mark. For example, take a look at this CNBC piece:  “Trump … Read More

Coping: Gambling- Stocks vs. Slots

Every so often, Elaine and I decide to run off to a new place to explore, learn about each other, about other people, and to just have fun as humans, being. This was one of those weekends.  We try to save up and do a couple of these a year.  It’s cheaper than a cruise…the … Read More

The Coming War in Korea

With the coming market decision whether to rally on and confirm Wave 5 up, or do a vicious decline to finish IV down around the 1,740 S&P level, we see how “neoconic forces” have been hard at work setting up another war.  This time by starving our North Korea. That in itself wouldn’t be so … Read More

Here’s Hoping the Market Drops; New Jobs Numbers

Don’t be taken in by the headline on the Drudge Report this morning that “STOCKS BIGGEST COMEBACK SINCE 1933!” Oh, it’s true and all that, sure.  And yes, the report from CNBC that “Dow posts biggest quarterly comeback since 1933” is also quite true. What people are talking about – in general – is that … Read More
