We received a lot of emails and reader comments about our recent post explaining why modern homes may have something of a “trap you in bad/dumb energy” system built-in because of the open door between many home’s bathrooms (and specifically toilets) and the master bedroom. The idea went that bad “Chi” of Feng Shui was … Read More

Even if you don’t subscribe to our (darned good) www.peoplenomics.com website, this morning’s freebie is that we are in a modest downward channel that could last another week or three. Driving this is the fact that our Global Index was down nearly 1,200 points last week, including some damage out of Asia (think Japan) and … Read More

If there is one thing most would agree about, it’s that Monday’s should be over and done with (on the work side) as soon as possible, so we can get on with the business of having fun – and working on our own projects – which is what weekends *(or time off) is all about. … Read More

I didn’t want to take up space in a regular column to talk about my ongoing adventures with my eyes.  However, a lot of people have asked me to keep them posted about how things are developing.  (First article with new hard lens in right eye, Left eye in recovery from surgery, mostly useless for … Read More

Do we care who wins the Presidential Election?No, not particularly. BUT we are are in a unique position now to begin collecting notes on how the seeming finalists will pull the levers in Washington, if they are elected.And that is actually an early preview of what could become very useful personal financial planning data for … Read More

Like the doctor says, Thanks for … Read More

As I have been telling you, the major story this week for markets has been the jobs reports. The ADP report out Wednesday didn’t look too bad. But the Challenger job cuts report out Thursday was a little less optimistic, showing cuts had rebounded, some. So this morning, we get right to the Department of … Read More

Yet another discussion of Linux and how open source is taking over the world. This can in from a reader who’s been a long-time contributor and it’s a very good thing to keep up on: “My 16 year old reports that he and friends are migrating to Linux distros that mimic earlier commercial software – … Read More

The main economic data this morning is the Challenger Gray and Christmas job cuts report – so let’s get that out of the way: VCHICAGO, May 5, 2016 – The pace of downsizing increased in April, as US-based employers announced workforce reductions totaling 65,141 during the month, according to the latest report released Thursday from … Read More

We were certainly (ahem…) flush with comments when we discussed the idea of shutting the bathroom door in order to keep good Chi (or qi) out of the bedrooms where people sleep. Where things took an interesting turns was when – thanks to comments – I got to looking at a possible relationship between chi … Read More

This morning we pick up on where we visited in the UrbanSurvival column Tuesday:  The looming collapse of multiple pension systems. Oh, sure, we can make a case that banks are never too big to fail.  But what happens if the next round of economic collapse brings us head to head with deciding how to … Read More

And why would you want to do that? Well, because I have the week all planned out for us, of course! (Aren’t you on the distro list?) Here’s how it should play out: The market this morning will fall flat on its nose. Why lookie here! Dow futures down 109! Reasons are all over the … Read More
