The once-credible Drudge Report has flipped into the sensationalist column, as we figure it. Headlining that an ARMED TRUCKER CONVOY is headed to the Biden-backed open border. When one takes the time to make a disciplined read of reports, the link off the “ARMED” fearcast leads to the story The MAGA Truckers are Back—And Heading to … Read More

We make more money being short the market. But in the short term some NY Fed data out Friday bears a closer look. Which we will do as well as we size up the rest of the economy. I think the bottom line might surprise you. It did us. Then we’ll review the real-life inflation … Read More

Fairytales are fun.  Though usually best delivered by a loving parent, not our own government for crying out loud.  But sometimes we don’t have a choice. Call me the Burger King…because here’s today’s Whopper: “Personal income increased $60.0 billion (0.3 percent at a monthly rate) in December. Disposable personal income (DPI)—personal income less personal current taxes—increased … Read More

Most of this was covered on our Peoplenomics subscription side Wednesday, but we are “bleeding over onto the free site” because things are evolving quickly and on multiple “fronts.” War – But When? We have never heard the drums of war beating as loudly as today. Not during the Vietnam conflict, not in Desert Storm, and … Read More

With Bitcoin scrapping at the $40,000 level, we ponder where all the made-up Covid money will eventually take root.  Some of it has gone into plain-old higher prices, sure.  But the charts are interesting. Another chapter in my latest book Building a Personal Ark is shared, And what morning would be complete without a side … Read More

I want to take you back a ways. November 8, 2021.  Dow closed at 36,432.22  while the S&P nailed 4,701.70.  Off to the side the NASDAQ rolled up 15,982.36.  Our Aggregate Index ended the day at 41,953.86.  The Yahoo Finance history notched an adjusted price of $67,566.83 that day, as well. Then there was Monday’s … Read More

This is the kind of day when I feel just a bit paranoid about the future.  Things are “stacking up” and if you look very, very closely you can almost make out possible signs and portents of what’s to come. To begin with, the high-roller’s party is over in Cheezerland. Which is another way of saying the Davosians … Read More

On my OTHER website where we consolidated the ShopTalk Sunday articles, some fun ham radio-oriented ideas in the first of a multi part series, Goodbye Radio Towers – Hello Drones – Ultra-Make. Upgraded the main computer to Win11 Pro Saturday. Got the new Starlink mesh network rolling, too. The, in the home recording studio, started … Read More

Yes the market roared higher but our charts tell a different tale. One which is oddly different than the mainstream view. Plus we also go on a swing through woo-woo land.  Where adventures in The Realms were teaching us how to poison a real estate foreclosure, about a major city earthquake to come, and a major … Read More

We’re sick of reading about the Rich Pricks – and pretenders like Klaus Schwab – who have designs on taking over the world. While – at the very same instant – being worse “solutions” than anything they are trying to replace. This is not just me talking sour grapes here.  It’s people like Elon Musk … Read More

What have we told you since BTC was launched? Don’t touch cryptos with a 10-foot pole.   Takes a while for us to be right sometimes. But in the long run, we usually get there.  Now we can pretty clearly see how NY Financiers are stealing the whole Crypto game and will be screwing “little people” … Read More

Busy but cold as we roll into the ChartPack this morning.  After that, another chapter of Building Your Personal Ark. Our column review of headlines will be somewhat abbreviated due to the weather. But we will have Retail Sales and the Trade data. Weather here is supposed to warm up into the 40’s later on.  … Read More
