I thought – long as I’m going in for surgery this morning – that I would do a comparison of how the process works now, as compared with 25 years ago when I had my first cataract surgeries. The first time around, having cataracts out while young was a two-part process. The first was the … Read More

Sorry to announce that our usual fun and frivolity will be displaced until Monday because of events of a medical nature. Because of this little “medical emergency” Ures truly will not go into the usual pre-open  market comment, and more importantly, NO PEOPLENOMICS REPORT ON SATUDAY.  Sunday if I can. Things should be back to … Read More

Jeez,  you talk about a target-rich news morning… The big Distraction du Jure is the Russian fly-by of an American destroyer in the Baltic Sea. The US destroyer was close enough to Russian home soil that fighters overflew the USS Donald Cook at low altitude.  Photos released by the Navy, such at the one at … Read More

With a house guest this week, what has turned into a terrible chest cold, and a million other demands, I would not have expected one of my I-Max-like dreams to show up.  Just don’t have time for one right now. Apparently, dreams don’t care and operate on their own schedule, and not mine. So entered … Read More

This morning we explore an outline of how I’ve come up with a trading approach that I am willing to commit some real money to.  Not that I expect to become overnight “rich” by doing so, but after almost 50-years of interviewing financial experts and a ton of personal learning, I’ve come to the conclusion … Read More

If you stand back a ways from the S&P 500 chart, like the ones you can still find on sites like Yahoo Finance, over here, you can almost make out what technical analysts call a “rounding top” formation. Sure, the rally for a short time Monday was interesting, but at my friend Robin Landry points … Read More

A spectacularly to the point column this morning.  The Death/Shooter Cycle Arrives This Week? This is not something we like to report, but there it is in data from the late www.nostracodeus.com website work that Grady has poured thousands of hours into developing and interpreting: Now, about the data and what we call “The Murder … Read More

Easy morning to summarize, this one:  It’s All About Spot. Spot the state where the (crooked) republican establishment won’t let the rank and file have a say in who the next President is. Answer:  Colorado. Here’s one disgusted former republican burning his registration in protest. And read how Trump’s New Right-Hand Man Accuses Cruz Campaign … Read More

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

OK, what does a sailing story, negative interest rates on the horizon, and how to save money for quarterly IRS payments have in common? By the end of this morning’s report, you’ll know the answer and an interesting outlook. That is after our ChartPack and a look at the latest solar cycle predictions, which make … Read More

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

“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

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
