In the event you’re wondering why the whole market was being painted (again) Thursday, the answer is simple: There was a new fed boss (Jerome “Jay” Powell) being named. It’s typical for markets to put on a good showing when the Street wants suck-points down the road. The alert reader will note that we hinted at … Read More
Terrible as the killer rampage in Las Vegas was Sunday night, there is often a tendency when a “big event” has just shocked the nation to ignore a lot of other stories going on in background. It’s like a “flash-in-the-pan” that arrests the national attention. So instead of a list of videos, eyewitness accounts, and … Read More
Recent news events, including the shooting deaths of more than 50 people at a machinegun attack in Las Vegas last night, begins to fit something of a pattern. Was it a radical? Initially, we’re told no. Was it home-grown terrorism or someone with a drug or alcohol issue? Again, in time we will learn. At … Read More
In a shocking revelation that has just appeared in the media in the past 24-hours, we now know the Obama administration wire-tapped Paul Manafort who would become a key Trump campaign official.

We have been delighted this morning (since 4 AM!) to have found an upcoming “area of agreement” between two very interesting wave counts. As you may know, we have a spreadsheet on the Peoplenomics.com subscriber site that we call the “brainamp.xls” What this little gem does is it lets you put in any two points … Read More

Before we get into the jobs report (just out) and the latest madness that seems to travel the G20 circuit, a word – or three – about personal trading. Although we don’t offer financial advice, either here or on the premium content Peoplenomics.com site, we have evolved a fairly interesting view of the markets. The … Read More
If you are not a subscriber to our (cheap – $40/year) insider view of things on the www.peoplenomics.com site, and you don’t understand what is happening in the market right now, consider this a Fourth of July gift.
