Ure’s Manifesto time. Since little is going on in the financial world (yes, market may decline, but this ain’t advice), we think it’s time to briefly consider how WWM (Wrong-Way Media) has botched its attempted dump of their “Insurrection” narrative on the public. Since our Reality is data-based, a 3-year clip of Google Trends highlights how … Read More
While 115,000 (and likely more) Russian troops are pressing in on Ukraine, we are more concerned in the very short-term about Narrative Collapse. You won’t see this in the MSM *(because 5 companies own 90 percent of media and they’re all hip-deep in the Big Swindle) – the Narrative Collapse has them scared shitless because … Read More
Early stock futures had the markets set to give-back half the Friday Bear slaughter. We’ll be hoping for more, having thrown in with the negative Nelly’s late last week. We will keep this morning’s column short. Since the major focus around here is still spring cleaning of the office. And getting ready for taxes which … Read More
There is a near-genius level post in the comments section from overnight which has an odd “echo of future” if you read it just so. Fellow noticed the story about a week back that mentions a small flotilla of Russian landing craft had put out to sea; Russia’s Landing Ships Are Headed To The Mediterranean … Read More
Reader Note: This is just one aspect of a more complex discussion about “How the Future Gets Here” that’s in prep for our Peoplenomics.com subscribers tomorrow. But, since the Economic Fractalist figures we may have a few days left before the fractal math goes critical on us, a prediction worth considering, we will share a bit more … Read More
A third of the way into January, the rains have returned to Texas. Those couple of weeks rounding-out December, were nothing more than sucker-punches for the unwary. From the outside project table, under the off-square rannygaboo (Americanized from the more proper rannygazoo) rain cover, there were projects lined up as far are the eye could … Read More
Challenger Job Cut report, International Tradewreck, and Weakly U.I. filings top the start of “Bounce Day.” Before we get started – and with a hat-tip to Robin Handler of the Options Signal Service for calling the “big changes Jan. 5” right – let’s roll out the fresh data du jour for you: Challenger Job Cuts These … Read More
This is really one for our Peoplenomics.com subscribers, as we have something of a “chart problem” to sift through going into the week’s end. Big Picture First: At the Macro Level, the old all-time high in our Aggregate Index (of multiple stock indices) hit a new all-time high at the Tuesday close: 41,995.20. The previous all-time … Read More
Let there be no question that I am what society would call a “crackpot.” Doesn’t mean we’re wrong, however. That’s because – in the social-media-fired land of “Me-too’s” – rational thought – backed by Data – is no longer respected. We’re living in a “loudest voice craps game” in a digital dark alley. Where even the … Read More
Ah. the Joy of the Season. Time to get hammered. What’s an old geezer to do when markets are closed, the kids are too busy, and there’s only so much idle chit-chat you can do on the 75-meter breakfast nets in the morning? Why, you get a wild hare idea to build something. In the … Read More
Monday morning, our pre-open call was that “Market Puke Day is here.” Sure enough, the Dow dropped 433-points. On top of losses suffered in previous sessions. With Ipecac Syrup Day over, the market today will pretend the world isn’t going to hell in a hand basket. The rising of sour bile might be held at bay … Read More
Market Puke Day is here. This MAY be where we draw the line between irrational speculation and irrational media manipulation; we’re standing by for it. Here’s how the Rich Folks Laydown is going down: Bitcoin is ready to drop through the 46,000 level for lower regions. The Dow futures earlier were down nearly 400 points. … Read More
Nothing-Burger Fed Decision. But a nothing-burger is just what the shills were looking for. Dow up 383 and change as a result and showing +212 early this morning. Here’s the part of the Fed decision driving it: “In light of inflation developments and the further improvement in the labor market, the Committee decided to reduce … Read More
