The Second Depression is coming into view. Even the big Eastern Media are hinting now. The biggest financial question, perhaps of our lifetimes, is which side of the Replay of the 1929 blow-off market top are we on?
It is NOT a trivial question, as there are two very real possibilities…
Remember how this site is all about the historical rhyme between markets at the end of the Roaring Twenties and modern times? This morning in charts and discussion our case looks stronger than ever.
In markets and political temperament, UrbanSurvival.com has declared this to be “Red Friday.” Maybe the moon was “blue” a few days ago, but ain’t nothing compared with how investors feel this week!
Much as George’s book “Dimensions Next Door” (available on Amazon) had been forecasting, there’s now been a breakthrough home “Maker” project of an antigravity levitator recognized by the IEEE this week…
Say, don’t want to run this stuff in your face, particularly if you’re a Coiner and haven’t laid-back enough to buy a subscription to Peoplenomics (and pay all those short-term capital gains you’ll owe this year), but I just have to point out that with Bitcoins trading in the $12,250 range, you will want to look … Read More
Sure, we’ll get to this morning’s latest hysterical over-reaction to Donald Trump’s immigration comments in a minute. But, honestly, there are much more important things going on that will impact your life in the short-term, so should be ready to deal with them. First, and foremost, (because we are unabashedly capitalistic at our core) the market … Read More
Of course, the “offishul” job report doesn’t come until this time tomorrow. But already, we have two indicators out to consider. The first of which is the Challenger Job Cuts Report. If you’ve been booing president Trump, might want to keep reading… “CHICAGO, January 4, 2017 – U.S.-based employers announced 32,423 job cuts in the … Read More
Food: We have arrived at the most calorie-laden of yearly events, at last. So this morning I wanted to share some things that will make you drool and wonder why is it Elaine still weighs what see did in high school. We can divide this into four parts: Breakfasts, Lunches, Cocktails, and Dinners. Sized for … Read More
As we outline (eventually getting to the point in Coping this morning), ultrasociality seems to be the new ruling paradigm. Thanks to one of our brilliant readers, who used the phrase “like Microsoft software – there’s a million ways to do something,” Ultrasociality may be a great key for understanding the world in a new way. (Suggested reading: Ultrasociety: How 10,000 … Read More
I love it Bitcoin was all the way up to $15,361 when I looked. And, since I sold my short position in the market, I’ve been more than pleased to watch Bitcoin because it’s a sort of “coincident indicator” of the National Delusion we’re all presently living under. Seriously? A year ago Bitcoin was what? … Read More
World’s a crazy place these days. Young people, who should be having the time of their lives, forming families, making professional investments in themselves, and achieving high states of personal excellence have mainly, as a group, downgraded themselves to phone-zombies. Shame, that. (Ref URL “Smartphone Addiction Creates Imbalance in Brain .”) To make “grown-up” finance accessible … Read More
I have been writing for nearly a year, now, about how “Obama embeds” have been throwing roadblocks up to the Trump administration at every turn. That includes liberally interpreted legal decisions on things like selective immigration policies, embeds in agencies who haven’t been replaced (or worked-around) and all those leaks. Billions and billions of leaks … Read More
We need to go over three charts this morning because somewhere in them, there’s a message, but damned if I can figure out what it is just yet. The three charts are the M2-Velocity of Money. This one says, in so many words, how often money is “turned over” during the year. The second chart … Read More
