Yes the market roared higher but our charts tell a different tale. One which is oddly different than the mainstream view.

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

(Knock on wood) Things are stable, but cold in East Texas as this nothing-burger of an Options Week gets underway. One Thing it Is? Cold There was no shortage of warnings that it was about to get super chill going into the weekend. And this morning the temp maps sure look like…well…winter: As you can … Read More

Cold weather cat shelter construction on our Ultra-Make.com site. Which is where our ShopTalk Sunday series now lives. FYI – More cold around.  Talking to some of the local hams on 3806 this morning:  Cold isn’t down to the Gulf yet; most near the water are still in the 40s.  But. Dallas, one ham by … Read More

With all the Global Warming shills missing, we ponder another angle to cold weather: Trading risks for the small investor.  Because out here, those are very real considerations. We won’t just look at “How do you trade with the power down.”  Goes a lot deeper than power, my friend. Which we will get into as … Read More

Since our focus is mainly economic – and trying to stay a step ahead of the woes-to-come – let’s kick off Friday the 12th with some Producer Prices hype, shall we? “The Producer Price Index for final demand fell 0.1 percent in December, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand … Read More
