Three Turning Points for the Market

by

As we forecast Thursday (not as advice, only for entertainment) the Markets slammed higher Thursday as the May monthly index options matured.  Today, action could be interesting as equities settle,

What we face, with the “filling” of a major “Trading Box” is the problem – in long wave economic terms – “What’s next?”

I’ll walk you through what the “market murmur continues to settle on” as we review this chart:

At the (white 5, lower center) you will see a pale puke green box.  This was Wave 1 or A of what’s clarifying as a larger-scale (Yellow BIG 2).  Since first waves are normally the largest waves, we copied this vertical size to the small yellow “b” above-right from the white 5.

Extending to the right, we knew this to be a kind of “mimimum altitude” to be expecting a major rally to reach.

But, this wave has (subdivided) now which resulted in a (pale white) trading box at that same small yellow “b.”

Which, in turn, then creates the need for another small box to examine the wave.

In all, depending on hangovers and such, you should be able to make out three Trading Box sequences:

  • The largest scale, two boxes based on the initial wave up of the (Big Yellow 2).
  • At the B position, we have a trading box (copied to the “d” position) which then says higher from here.
  • Which lays out a higher target for the lower-left base of this box – which then gives us a reasonable expectation for the rally over summer, we talked about.

When you do this (sniping “lunch money trades”) you should have a brightening in the cerebral cortex as your brain prompts with something like this: “Hey!  That new trading target – up by the base of the Big Yellow 2 – will mean an improved chance of the market rallying over summer before hitting the skids in the Fall!”

Which goes to yesterday’s (Wars Delayed) column.

Yet Rally Problems Remain

Something I learned from my friend Dr. Jas Jain (PhD in DSP, many patents) is that in any signals processing, you can (paraphrasing) solve for the amplitude domain (in Markets this is Price).  Or you can solve for time.  Just not both concurrently.  Which in Markets means no mushrooms soup for a while.  (I hope he corrects me if I get this wrong.)

Let’s eye today’s news flow with a view to the amplitude/price domain.  The G-7 will keep coordinating the Globalist expansion as long as they can.  They will do this by encouraging war (Zelenskyy to join G7 at Hiroshima summit as leaders prepare to unveil new Russia sanctions – Las Vegas Sun Newspaper_ and by allowing the computer analog to gain-of-function with little to no regulation of A.I.  (Rishi Sunak: Guardrails needed to regulate growth of AI | Guernsey Press)

Even bigger than the G7, except insofar as it will drive inter-market arbitrage which is how we evaluate the U.S. versus Rest of World on the Peoplenomics side, but there was also a dandy article 10-days back, or so: Stock Market Outlook: $5.3 Trillion in Cash Could Fuel Bull Rally (businessinsider.com).

Now, toss on a must-do (at some point) Idiots Play Budget which will get retired workers their pay – which will keep spending rolling-along – and we see how the upside is loading up for an explosive amplitude result.  Higher based on nothing except more money than sense for the institutional types.

All of which has the potential to take us to the end of the year still intact.  But, we figure Wave 2 will have run its course by mid-September at the latest. After that?  All hell could break loose.

Powell could leave another rate hike on the table when he talks today.

An Explosive Matter

As our favorite YouTube physic lecturer/explainer says: “But wait, there’s a problem!”

We will have a new set of market targets tomorrow for subscribers.  BUT the key early finding is that if we had all the following in the next two weeks, we could have a massive melt-up in Markets.  Was the G-7 signaling the semi-aware with this “nuclear force” of money in the wings?

In analytical terms, we’re at the point, I think, where the Amplitude/Price is almost “on rails” for higher.  This turns our attention to this Time Domain problem.  With amplitude clarified now, the outcomes are:

  • Market explodes higher now and completes by June 15, or so.
  • Market waffles-on after a decline early next week,  but then builds into a rally over summer. That would tee up an October Crash and maybe war.
  • OR we collapse late in the year like “slaughter of the elves” Christmas. Was it 2018?  Somewhere back in there.

Today’s Indicators

We’re pleased to report the Port of Los Angeles finally got its April cargo data posted.  It was somewhat better than expected, so let’s think in terms of “another load of nitrous” for the rally?

Sure, sure.  Not a great report, or a long of longshore OT going into vacation season.  However, it could have been worse.  Lots worse.

A couple of readers have noticed money going into anything that might have anything relating to an A.I. angle to play.  Because A.I. has the potential to become the next American Mania for Investors.

One reason is what we marketers call “seeding the market.”  The more press and hype on the front-end, the bigger the bubble gets.,  With the Build-a-Burgers about to meet to jawbone A.I. we thought it was interesting that Microsoft was sending Satya Nadella (CEO) and Bill’s name wasn’t on the list. We also note Eric Schmidt representing Google.

We will get a picture (post Bilderblunder) of how the Amplitude of Bubble:Next will be managed.  A really hard line on the future of A.I. may serve to “attenuate market price/amplitude). In doing so, then, it would lessen some of the “immediacy pressure” for wave completion.  Which translates out of Georgedom into “Tough on A.I. means rally to September or later.”

If it goes the other way (no agreement on siderails and safety agendas)?
We have enough combustibles and vapors above financial flash point, we could scream to a crescendo (hitting all targets in a week to 10-days) and then China snatches Taiwan.  Mets and weps are good to roll anytime Xi makes the call.

Pretty sobering way of eyeing the future.  It’s really not that hard to begin thinking like this.  All that’s needed is a good grasp of bounding limits for bacteria eating their way along the edge boundary of the Petri dish.  It will all be resolved soon enough.

Drabs and Drivel

Of course, the Left is worried:  The Party of Lincoln is challenging: Scoop: Tim Scott sets $6M ad buy as he nears GOP bid (axios.com).  Seems to us Scott is a solid candidate.  I could see him rolling from VP into president.

As we mentioned, Budget Solution hype is likely over the weekend: US president Biden’s team reports ‘progress’ in debt ceiling talks | Al Arabiya English. Our Houston Bureau sent in a link to the story Debt ceiling: Here’s when government bills are due (cnbc.com) which is interesting. We expect Schumer and the power-trippers to take us right up to the line – and over a week, or so.  Megalomania is as megalo’s do.

Get any money back?  No?  Pentagon over-estimated Ukraine weapons aid by $3 billion in accounting error.  No worries, no one ever gets fired at the GS-13 and above levels.

More support of our ongoing campaign to have BATF – and police agencies worldwide – begin to register cutlery.  Australian police use Taser on 95-year-old with dementia who held steak knife. Admittedly, the story is medium-rare.

We keep looking to BTC for ideas when the blow-off rally will be done.  Bitcoin Mid-Term Holders Are Selling, Behind The Price Drop? (bitcoinist.com).  Earlier today BTC had traded down to $26,860 – which may herald a sell-off of stocks into the close today.  Always fun to watch.

Around the Ranch

Ham Radio Notes:

  • HRO emails about special Dayton Hamvention pricing hit this morning. Which reminded us…
  • Hamvention kicks off in Dayton tomorrow morning. With a couple of dozen HF radios to choose from, not like I need anything in particular.
  • My consigliere will be our proxy-shopper.
  • But I decided to pick up a Balun Kit from Amazon $23 bucks, or so. The reason’s kinda interesting.  Been modeling an idealize OCFD (*off-center fed dipole) and found in EZ-NEC, there’s MAYBE a bit of gain laying on the table with fatter wire (like #10 or #11) on the short side and lighter #14 on the other side. Running many models, many frequencies.

Of course, the antenna will only work like this when perfectly matched.  But I reckon a 150 (3:1 from 5o ohm coax) might be marginally better than a 200 ohm balun (4:1 from 50 ohms) though in practical terms, it might be hard to discern any difference in real operation conditions.  Still: look at that Jim Dandy return loss number!  Anything over 10- is generally workable.  Look it up in Reflections II.

All this plus directionality to some extent along with takeoff angles maximum as:

While 6.22 dBref doesn’t sound too hot, the modeling program requires that  modeling losses (2.19 db) be added to gain.  (Minus losses is a positively signed number.) Which means the real gain is (on major lobes) is 8.41 dB over dipole (in those directions) which is 10.56 dBi (*decibels isotropic). I should start an antenna company.

Ham Related:  Picked up another CNC machine – specifically to mill PCBs. Got this one mainly because of the included full enclosure.  Giving the existing 3018 PRO to my neighbor up the hill.  We’ll keep the Genmitsu 3040 for light burning. But I could write a book on differences in engineering/build between Genmitsu and SainSmart. Most people likely don’t know you can order an inexpensive 3018 machine and take it up to 3040 with a “bed/y-axis extension kit.”  Which we did for the Genmitsu machine.

Food & Beverage:  Prime rib after a short scotch on the screen porch today.  G2 is out this weekend for work in Virginia early next week. (Don’t ask. Michael Weston kinda thing). He begins doing regular EMS in Tyler in June. Life may stabilize, yet.)

Grooming:  My nose and ear trimmer wore out.  New one coming.

Climate: Won’t hit over 80 over the weekend after barely to 90 today.  Many-much works with power tools beckon.

Call it good.  Peoplenomics tomorrow, ShopTalkSunday and more projects than you can shake a stick at. Or a Scotch at 4 PM.

Write when you get rich,

      • I’ve heard it suggested that current index equities resemble Spring of 2000. The debt status looks like it is an aggravating factor; once the market turns south, there won’t be any near interest-free money to slow the descent.

  2. Parabolic advances usually carry further than you think, but they do not correct by going sideways – Bob Farrell
    6 stock advance – based on repeated AI references – it is a thin advance but at this time crashing upwards……..

  4. sorry George, I turn the ad blocker back ON,,, it is the drop down ad from the top that I have to push back up with every screen change on ure site. It is nagging to much for me.
    I am a ‘BRAVE’ user, on a desk top.

  5. The war can escalate at any moment.

    NATO said Putin was going to radiate Europe.

    And it will come to pass.

    “Radioactive cloud’ threatening western Europe….”

    “The destruction of depleted uranium shells in Ukraine has produced a radioactive cloud which has been blown toward Western Europe, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev, has claimed. The UK has supplied this type of munition to Ukraine to be fired from British-made Challenger tanks.”

    • OoWS – it is way more nasty complicated than DU ammo explosions, way moar.

      Khemelnitsky, Kraine; exogenous kinetic action induced by conventional explosion of Russian missile – at the end it was nuclear core meltdown of the fissile fuel of an atomic bomb. A delayed, but Complete atomic blast. Not just conventional ammunition, or even depleted uranium ammunition but TWO (2) real atomic bombs that exploded in Khemelnitsky ammunition depot where they were stored unbeknownst to anyone…except for “Space Nazi’s”, Space Force and author Tony Rodrigues of Ceres Colony Cavalier – 1st hand account of Mk ultra training from childs perspective and follow on missions during a 20 yr tour partially served in Space.
      “How could someone be kidnapped, live in their own body for twenty years, then returned to the point of kidnapping at the same age?” -Tony Rodrigues

      Truth – way, way, way stranger than fiction..

      • ” it is way more nasty complicated than DU ammo explosions, way moar.

        Khemelnitsky, Kraine; exogenous kinetic action induced by conventional explosion of Russian missile – at the end it was nuclear core meltdown of the fissile fuel of an atomic bomb. A delayed, but Complete atomic blast. ”

        the argument will be.. it was the acceptable Radio active shells that the UK gave to Ukraine that were all stored in an ammo bunker..
        it isn’t like this hasn’t been mentioned as a red line for a year and a half already.. and for a year before that.. they begged us to back away..and we obviously didn’t..
        I actually thought it would be Kim in NK that would be the match..they would let him loose.. then Iran etc.. and let it go global..
        we are already finding delays in getting supplies because someone slapped the face of china.. what could go wrong with that one.. the bigger question will have to be……
        Do we really want it to go in that direction? Now the people don’t.. how close will the radioactive dust go to some of the puppeteers countries.. Up until now none of the situations that the globe has been in has affected them at all.. Like BLM and Antifa and their terrorist activities that destroyed billions of dollars worth of infrastructure.. the violence the hate and defunding the police.. it only affected the poorer neighborhoods of the big cities.. the invasion of the illegals will eventually affect everyone..and if they didn’t lie when they said that would be how they would get warriors into our country to fight us from within.. then we could be in a real cluster Fauch i … SNAFU… situation normal all Faucied up

  6. Regarding The Age of Desolation (.com) site, a couple weeks ago I commented about the interpretation of theater in the quatrain below. Andy then mentioned something about the theater on Broadway…

    We’re not passed May 20th yet, so who knows…

    The earthquake hit about a mile south of Hastings-on-Hudson in Westchester County (about three miles north of Yonkers) at 1:53 a.m., at a depth of 9.8 kilometers, the USGS said.

    The town is just over 16 miles away from midtown Manhattan, so it’s possible some in or very close to New York City may have felt a shake!

    https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/small-earthquake-rattles-parts-of-westchester-county-new-jersey-in-middle-of-night/4347744/

    G.A. STEWART: We are not out of the woods yet regarding an earthquake or nuclear attack on Los Angeles in May. The “Sun twentieth of Taurus [May 10th] a mighty earth trembling” is the Nostradamus’ line that provides the date.

    Astrologically, the Sun at 20 degrees in Taurus equates to May 10th, but with Nostradamus, astrology, and the Julian and Gregorian calendar changes, there is a great deal of slop in an interpretation.

    MAY 10TH, THE GREAT THEATER
    COMPLETELY RUINED
    THE MAY LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE
    OR
    NUCLEAR ATTACK

    Nostradamus Quatrain IX-83
    Sun twentieth of Taurus [May 10th] a mighty earth trembling,
    The great theater [Hollywood, California] completely ruined,
    The air, sky, and land darkened and troubled,
    Then the infidel [Islamic Jihadist] invokes God and the saints.

    Therefore, once we get passed May 20th, I will feel a little more comfortable. There were two coincidental news stories regarding an earthquake and the potential for nuclear war.

    • There’s 60,000 pounds of missing ammonium nitrate so a building next to a rental truck could fall over at any time.

      “A railcar carrying 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used in explosives at Wyoming coal mines, left Cheyenne for California on April 12. Two weeks later, the chemical was discovered missing from the railcar and no one is entirely certain what happened to it. “

      • The hopper car was still ‘sealed’ when it arrived. Likely culprit was a broken hatch that leaked it all out along the tracks on the way. The enroute weeds got a good fertilizing along the way.

  7. George, as I said before, I LOVE my OCFD but it has/had a nasty habit of using the braid of the feed line as the counterpoise. Had RF in the shack. Pretty nasty, too. Put torroids on the mike cord but still bought 2 line isolators, one at the bottom of the transformer box at the antenna and one in the shack before the radio. Seemed to take care of it. Went ahead and ran 4 counter poises of different lengths but used a barrel ground connector like this to put the counterpoises on instead of the ground lug on the transformer/balun:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/371182894091
    Don’t know if it’s the proper way to do it (I figured if the braid wants to radiate, I’ll just hook them up and hope it goes that direction instead). First contact was into Russia on 20 with a 59. Not too shabby. I still run an MFJ tuner that matches automatically to my Yaesu FT100D for the edges of some of the bands, but the performance is amazing as the highest point of the antenna is only 20 feet.

    DE: KC8HI

    • I had a similar – bad/ugly – experience when I put mine up.
      I remembered my marine/para radio days and the answer to RF bites is ALWAYS ground is to small.
      Pierre at (SK) SGC told me “The radiation will come from whichever of the wires is smallest. So, if the ground (area) is smaller than the radiating element the signal will “radiate upside down” part of the time – hence the nasty RF bites.

      Not sure he was technically right, but adding grounds (and foil through bilges of sailboats) always did the trick.

      High of my list here is adding an “ultradeep ground to a presently unused water well down 80 feet. Always figured the deeper the ground the better – tesla held a similar view…

      • Curious. Are you bonding to the well casing or running an 80′ wire down the shaft? Reason I ask is my casing is only 12′ while the well is 240′. I have considered attaching to the casing before but it is a little too long a run from the current ground point.

        • I have a bunch of old solar wiring that’s like #2 and it’s 3 conductor plus ground.
          I have a dismantling knife so it shouldn’t be too hard to strip and make a long run up to the well and then put a couple of marine grounding clamps on it and down-she-goes

          Sadly this is on the “dream projects” list wich is pretty lengthly…

      • Funny, as I am a water well driller by trade, but we have been using PVC casing for over 30 years, now.

      • Yep. I used to get black holes burnt into my fingers while operating 100w HF on the Greenland Ice Cap. No ground, can’t use a counterpoise on a moving vehicle.

        • Shorter antenna, bonding copper *3-inch wide thin stuff, and good ignition bypassing (though up there likely diesel) all improve things. Typically, the 12-foot military whips only really work well on larger4-than-Jeeps..HumVees are a good start but too much non-bonded metal out of the box.
          Remember, the antenna works best when the “heavyside” (pardoning the pun) ground side is MUCH bigger than the antenna.

  8. “Third Thursday” poker game was interesting. The retired doctor didn’t show up. Sent a message, wishing us the best of luck – he and his wife are going to sell their house here and move to their second home permanently – in Arizona. [ I think he is the one that’ll be needing the luck.]
    – ‘Ladyfingers’ brought the new player as an introduction. She seemed like a nice enough person. Played OK. May have been holding back a bit due to being ‘new’., and seeing how we played. I already caught two of her ‘fatal flaws’. When she has a good, possibly winning hand in five card draw she places her cards neatly in front of her and plays with her chips., never checks her cards again. When she bluffs, and she does too often [ I bluff maybe once a month – I use it as a weapon.] When she does bluff, she hesitates to place her bet, like she shouldn’t be betting at all. I called her on her third bluff of the night – cost her over a hundred.
    – I unintentionally made her a little uncomfortable during our ten o’clock break when I asked her what instrument she played. She gave me a ‘very’ puzzled look. I told her that I had noticed the callouses on the finger tips of her left hand. Guitar? Violin? Nope – mandolin. But she didn’t realize that I was watching that closely. Oops !
    I have been wondering if I should tell her what she is doing wrong. You know.., level the playing field a bit. Or, since it is poker, keep the advantage. Nice guy – or Doc Holiday?? .., and since I noticed these two big “giveaways”, there are more than likely a couple of more.
    I emailed ‘Ladyfingers’ this morning and told her that I picked up on a couple a bad habits that the new players has.., and asked her if I should be a nice-guy and point them out, or stay in my usual Doc Holiday mode? Haven’t heard back., as yet. I also voted yes, on her becoming a “regular”. I think she will get better as we go along, and she feels a little more comfortable at the new [ for her] table. She has only been in town for five years and met ‘Ladyfingers’ two years ago. [ I didn’t see any collusion at the table between them – don’t expect any from ‘Ladyfingers’.]
    – ohh.., ended the night up $245 – nothing great.., easy night. The misses got the $200 and I have $45 to place in my “bourbon fund”., or the Harley “gas fund”.
    How did your Thursday night go ??

    • I’m learning that poker is more about psychology than the chance luck of the cards.

    • My granddaughter wanted us to teach her how to play Poker and other card games a few months ago. She won pretty well (with chips) the first night but the second time we beat the pants off of her and she’s never asked to play again. I didn’t want it to become a habit with her so learning that, even with no real money at stake, you’ve got to learn to take the wins with the losses. I think she prefers the many versions of Monopoly now which has its own set of lessons.

  9. i made a 160m OCFD, works fine on ridge 900′ elevation. Facing sort of NS in NW VA. 1:1 Balun at ground & 4:1 up at center, plus gas lightning thing at ground. Currently propped up in center with 20′ bamboo pole last time I looked.

  10. Americans’ credit card balances have hit a record high, rising 17% year-over-year, according to the New York Fed’s Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit. “That’s the largest year-over-year jump in the 20-year history of this data set,” says Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst at Bankrate. “Normally, credit card balances fall from Q4 to Q1 as the dust settles on the holiday shopping season and consumers prioritize debt payoff … This is the only time since the New York Fed started tracking these figures in 2003 that credit card balances did not fall from Q4 to Q1. They rose.”

    Using a CNC to make a circuit board.
    Interesting!
    How do you handle the via’s from front to back layers?
    I assume four layer boards are very difficult if not impossible to do or achieve printed board capabilities.
    I have made several boards over the years and used a board manufacturing house called Express PCB. It went well but was somewhat pricey.
    Be aware that trace width is like wire gauge. The wider the width the more current it can carry.
    Trace separation can also be an issue especially with high frequency circuits. Some people run ground traces between high frequency lines. ExpressPCB used to have guidance on their web site for trace width.
    Give us a word when you do a circuit board. Very interesting stuff.

  12. Re: The Marionette
    feat. a string ensemble

    Folks,

    The Oman Ministry of Information reported the delivery yesterday of the Ukrainian president to the lavender carpet at Jeddah via a French government aeroplane. Onward transportation from airport to the Arab Summit was perhaps a magic carpet-like ride in a V-12 powered luxury automobile.

    Meanwhile the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has tweeted “a warm welcome” to her newly arrived visitor, Mrs. E. Truss, former UK PM. An accompanying picture portrays the esteemed visitor kneeling to stroke a dog of disparate breeding clothed of a garment somewhat similar in shade to a Ukrainian flag while the President squats beside the pair on her haunches. It’s an epic royal flush.

  13. Dear LOB, no harm, no foul.

    you know, i got a message today. ya see 2 years ago, i saw this young lady sitting there shaking with her hoody pulled over her head hiding it in shame. obviously homeless. i went and got her a cup of coffee. she was dope sick from being on fentinal for a long time. a lost soul. we talked for a little while, then i remembered, when someone is dope sick from opiots they crave sugar. i had some left over candy in my car from the movies the day before so i went and got it and gave it to her. she could barley talk. she said thank you.

    then she went on to say she wished she could die. nobody loves her. she said she done alot of bad things to support her habbit. theft, prostitution etc etc. she said there is no hope for her.

    so i prayed with her. then i took her ro detox and got her into rehab.

    i hadnt talked to her in almost 2 years. i want you to know, she messaged me to tell me she haa 2 years clean and sober. not only that she just got a full ride at Berkley Medical school to become a doctor. full scholarhip, meals, dorm room, books included. etc etc.

    in the future she will become a doctor and help and heal many many many people.

    she said, my whole life changed the day i met you. i wanted to die. you are an Angel. thank you!

    i said oh honey, its not even about me. its all about all the lives you will go on to touch and heal. itd about THE DUDE. Its about the future of humanity. it is about you silly girl.

    the preacher man on the TV says repent and be saved. or you are going to hell. and i think to myself, God whome I call THE DUDE aka Jesus The Christ, needs alot less pulpet pounding threats and alot more every day kindness and love in the world. less politics and more hands helping others up.

    tell me about your faith and i will be busy living out mine. i dont even need to say it anymore. THE DUDE knows. that is good enough for me. im grateful.

    we are much the same LOB. that is why i told you, dont forget who you are. and dont forget there is still good women in the world. even really pretty ones. some just need a subtle push in the right direction and will go on to change the world in good ways, i cant even understand. THE DUDE knows. that is all that matters.

    when THE DUDE said, Who can i send. i raised my hand,

    all these things dwell within me:

    The Love of Christ
    The Faith of Abraham
    The Courage of David
    The Wisdom of Solomon

    when you dont see me around in the comment section of urban surival for a long while. you should have no problem figureing out what im doing. im busy about The Good Lords work. and probably having some fun like talking the panties off a nun. hahaha.

    i dont worry to much about China or Russia, or the economy, the demecrats or any of that stuff. its not really my department.

    i think the future of the United States is much like that young lady i spoke to today.

    in a thousand years from now, when i look back with THE DUDE to see how it all turned out. im sure it will be good. when God saw what He had done, it was Good.

    hey LOB,

    you remember when i saved that little cheerleader from tumbling off a 4 story balcony. and she gave me that magic wand that had a star at the top a while back. then a few days later at another venue, i run into a young lady from detroit who looks like a splitting image of Glenda the Good witch from the wizard of Oz. there in seattle aka the Emerald City. i was thinking about her today. wonder where she will be in 2 years, or 10.

    im not really an Angel. I am a Christian. Sinner saved by grace. follower of Christ. I am Just Andy. A Man.

    im out there working the field with God. making the world a better place. changing the future. for God and everyone. best get busy being about it. and having alot alot of fun doing so.

    just like you man.

    on the other side then.

    • wow that is cool serious question.. did you keep the wand…gifts that I get like that.. I keep.. pictures the kids color for me.. get framed and hung on the wall..we switch them out every once in a while as the kids grow up.. so something like the wand.. that would be framed.. or a display on a shelf…. I loved that story the wizard of oz.. my little mini me has dyslexia.. he is just now starting to get excited about reading.. when he does.. I have a first edition of the book that is his.. His teacher that is working on it with him.. loves the stories of the boxcar kids..
      https://www.amazon.com/Children-Favorites-Collection-Activity-Magnifying/dp/080750680X/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1EUT5UHUQ1GYV&keywords=the+boxcar+children+set&qid=1684614085&sprefix=the+boxcar%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-9
      that book revolves around an old boss of mine.. he was the oldest child.. nice guy.. but totally forgot where he came from.. which is sad..

      .. I forget if the first edition of the wizard of oz was signed by the author or not its been absolutely decades since I cracked the book open.. I got that book from my old one room school house teacher that worked so hard to get me to read.. when I got the thrill of reading she handed me two books.. tom sawyer and the wizard of oz first edition.. it was hers at the one room school house she worked at way back when it first came out.. ..

  14. not sure if that posted.

    hope so.

    and when The Good Lord comes calling me home, im sure i will be sitting there in my dirty old hat, with my crooked little grin, dusty boots. i will hop right up out of my Body, look Him in the eye, shake His hand and How did We do? What is next Boss?

    hmmm

    same song i placed at the end of Doorfore dot com. my old website. seems fitting. since im now at elevation 7007 feet above sea level.

  15. “The G-7 will keep coordinating the Globalist expansion as long as they can. They will do this by encouraging war (Zelenskyy to join G7 at Hiroshima summit as leaders prepare to unveil new Russia sanctions”

    They r e a l l y need to quit this crap. Every time the G-whatever sanction Russia, the Russian economy gets better, and ours takes another circuit around the toilet bowl…

  16. “and by allowing the computer analog to gain-of-function with little to no regulation of A.I. (Rishi Sunak: Guardrails needed to regulate growth of AI”

    Won’t (and can’t) happen, and every computer geek knows this. AI development will go balls to the wall until it runs into said wall. In trying to regulate it, all one does is encourage [computer] scientists to lie. The only regulation can be is as an end-use arrangement, and that will only last until some person, group, or nation believes they have such a pervasive (and likely invasive) AI iteration that they can conquer and rule the world…

    • I actually have been enjoying chatgpt.. stumped it a few times.. then asked it a loaded question that didn’t pertain to what I was asking about.. and it not only came back and had analysed what I was asking and about what subject but gave me a great answer for the actual subject I asked it about but switched subjects..
      then the questions I asked.. I had someone else across the country ask the question that I had stumped it with.. it instantly gave him the answer that I had gotten from it.. so it is learning and with the hive technology shares what it learns from all sectors of the planet at one time..
      someone I know was saying that they are not advertising Chat gpt Medical doctor visits.. hmm.. that is interesting.. so would it analyse all the x-rays and labs personal history and come up with a viable treatment plan.. can it not only diagnose but prescribe medications…
      What happens to the overpaid x-ray analyst.. I had a hospital insurance once where they refused to pay the radiologists costs.. the reason given.. isn’t your physician smart enough to read x-rays..
      I answered back its a law in the wastelands that x-rays have to have a radiologists view points of them.. will chat gpt do away with those positions.. hmm.. and cheaper to.. isn’t that amazing..

      my friend was going to make an appointment with the chatgpt doctor visit.. just to see..

      • You are not “stumping” it — You are “educating” it, as is everyone else who plays with it. If I create an AI algo, I can preload it with any concrete data that’s available, but I can only introduce a small portion of both the abstract knowledge I possess, and other readily-available abstractions, like art and literature. Therefore, I would create it to acquire abstractions from any source whatsoever, then create weighted “inferences” from those acquired abstractions. I would periodically sample its “thought train,” but understand, it would very quickly acquire more knowledge than even a large staff of humans could edit. By acquiring its “thought basis” in the open, it would fast become, to a degree, psychopathic, psychotic, sociopathic, megalomaniacal, and afflicted with every other non-polar psychological disorder (it would not develop schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, manic depression, etc.), both known and unknown. The AI would have to sort through this and make only, all of, and exactly the right judgement calls, or we’re all dead. Do you really trust any machine, or any single human, for that matter, to do this?

    • Not to mention.. if you can get a Chat doctor visit.. for fifteen dollars.. why not go that route rather than the hundred or two hundred dollar visit that you never see the doctor anyway.. you see a nurse practicioner or a PA.. now I know NP and PA’s that are way better than the doctor they work for.. many times.. wouldn’t take my dog to the doctor but would run to get to the PA.. he is more knowledgeable and just nicer.. then I know guys that are doctors that have great bedside manners but don’t have the intelligence to open a bandaid \ there was a video showing that robots were building robots that were not directed to build them.. it was told by chat gpt to build them and it made corrections to the design.. so.. with that in mind.. how long before we have robot surgeons.. we have robots that dispense medications.. and now general practice doctor visits.. my friend will let me know if it can prescribe medications to a pharmacy or not..
      Or if it can read the labs and x-rays taken at the clinic.. go through his medical history instantly.. it will be interesting to find out..
      and cheaper.. way cheaper.. like two percent of a normal charge to see this chat doctor. if it is for real… for a diagnosis.. and the physician that always writes a stupid order that forces a nurse to give him a three am wake up call.. hell he can sleep in business is taken care of.. and she doesn’t have to worry about some irate asshole throwing a chart at her for doing what he told her to do LOL LOL seen that enough.. nurses terrified to give some joker a call.. but has to.. I always said let me talk to the idiot..
      One actually was an attending physician for my mother.. he didn’t recognize me without my scrubs on.. and I was waiting for him to start.. he didn’t he actually was pretty pleasant.. but seen enough nurses cry because they had to call him up..

  17. “Of course, the Left is worried: The Party of Lincoln is challenging: Scoop: Tim Scott sets $6M ad buy as he nears GOP bid (axios.com). Seems to us Scott is a solid candidate. I could see him rolling from VP into president.”

    As can I. Doesn’t matter though. If Scott gets any traction, either now or in 2028, the Deep Staters will “Herman Cain” him. There’s over 300mln people in the U.S. who don’t know the first Blacks on The Hill were ALL Republicans, or that Blacks were overwhelmingly Republican until they got their heads full of Regressive propaganda. The Democrats will do ANYTHING to prevent those 300mln people from losing their carefully-cultivated narrative. Prominent Black Republicans simply can not be allowed to exist.

    As a POC, I’d much rather see him than Haley though. At least Scott is not fake. I think I’d rather see Ramaswamy than either, but that’s because Vivek is like another Trump — only without the Queens attitude that puts even Trump’s supporters into the “cringe zone…”

    • at this point.. I don’t believe that it matters at all either.. the interest on what we owe.. is absolutely mind boggling.. and the income is reducing.. what always surprises me is.. if a boss gives you a two percent increase in wages.. you think my god look at that.. but what they don’t realize is.. if the cost of inflation is at four percent.. then you actually lost two percent.. LOL.. and take the eight percent everyone got on SS.. ok.. sounds good.. after the increase in Medicare.. was taken out.. I had less than a loaf of bread come through.. I do use that as a point for the kids.. buy it today sell it tomorrow at the inflated price.. you still break even but it seems as if you made some money back in the eighties people would swap jobs for a nickle.. I always said really a nickle.. you didn’t go anywhere.. people putting money into CD’s at one percent interest.. LOL oh I could go on about my thoughts on this.. since brandon.. a million dollar nest egg is now worth half of that.. if he gets his way.. it won’t be worth the cost of a happy meal at mcdonalds..

      • “buy it today sell it tomorrow at the inflated price.. you still break even but it seems as if you made some money”

        But if you do it honestly, you will pay taxes on the difference between your purchase price and the inflated selling price.

        This is why precious metals suck as an investment: You buy an ounce of gold in 2000 for $300, and sell it in 2025 for $3000, you’re going to pay taxes on a $2700 gain. Gold hasn’t really changed in value in several thousand years, so its actual value won’t have changed — only the value of the local fiat currency, when compared to it. Therefore, buying gold as an investment is a guaranteed loss, unless you watch the markets, and can buy/sell it at crests and troughs in its daily trading cycle. Where PMs shine is if an economy goes to shit, PMs and gemstones will retain some intrinsic value as trade vehicles after all volatile and fiat vehicles have become worthless.

    So.. they quit making the eye drops in one country and switch to another without water standards.. good going brandon.. what could go wrong about that.. next thing we will see is our IV saline solutions will be switched from their country without any water standards to another one without any quality and safety standards.. HEY.. maybe if we made this crap in the USA where we do have quality standards.. hmm.. a new approach to an old issue.. as the wife would say.. its a dead horse quit dragging it around the arena..

  19. OK… got a big question.. what is the proper US govt.. reply standards to these new questions that they are made to ask everyone that is seen in a Hospital…

    1 Do you like Sex?
    2. Do you want to have Sex?
    3. Can you function having sex?
    4.Are you heterasexual?
    5Are you Gay or Lesbian?
    6.Are you Bi Sexual?

    I chuckled when I heard those questions.. being asked one of the gentlemen that lives in our spare rooms..
    His answers..
    1 Yes
    2. sometime
    3.Its been a while but I believe it still works
    4.Yes I am a heterasexual (I am not gay )
    5.No I am not Gay
    6.No I am not bisexual

    sounded good to me.. not what a smart azz like myself would say..
    my answers are you betcha.. close the door and did you bring some KY..AMEN its name is little stiffy or little willie..
    So I got a chuckle out of the answers.. and went along my way..
    a couple of hours later.. the phone rang.. Yes.. we are making an appointment with a psychiatrist because he answered one of the questions that has us wondering.. could it be the are you gay.. or are you bisexual that he said no to.. or that he didn’t ask the nurse to go close the door.. I am not quite sure.. so should I when asked those questions that are mandatory questions besides the do you want to kill someone.. do you want to die questions.. should I answer..
    are you gay.. or are you bisexual.. No but does it really matter who is taking care of business with little willie.. or do you think we should be dendover butties.. LOL LOL ( or good buddies… LOL…https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=good%20buddies )
    what in the hell is going on with the gay arama questioning lately. How is that anyone else’s business.. my god this whole administration is nuts.. and I am not talking about little peanut his kid.. the pedo perv… first we have Budweiser.. you are gay if you drink bud image change..soon you will see tshirts saying.. bud butties.. then another one.. swimsuit edition has a gay guy on the cover is what the kid told me..
    https://nypost.com/2023/05/19/megyn-kelly-says-si-swimsuit-cover-featuring-trans-pop-star-will-be-a-turn-off-to-teen-boys/

    then yesterday.. one of my grandsons came home from second grade.. they had a movie that has him wondering what he is and what about sex.. excuse me.. what is wrong.. or maybe they are trying to legitimate and change the public outlook of the perverted activities of the brandon family.. it sure baffles me..

    • My first question is “Why do you care?”, and my second question is “Who will pay for the appointment with the shrink?” The third question might be “Do you intend to provide me with a hot female sex partner at your expense?”

      I have no sexual interest in anyone other than biological females, and little interest in social things at all. I suspect that there’s some agenda to confusing sex roles in society, but it escapes me as to how it can lead anywhere useful for anyone – even for the power trippers.

      I’ll avoid medical institutions at all costs, and tell them that I don’t and won’t trust them with anything. Covid protocols were the final straw, though my mind was made up five decades ago. No doubt, they’d want to label me with “Oppositional Defiant Disorder”(ODD).

      It’s in the DSM V and is an insight into the grandiosity of the entire medical establishment.

      • ” I suspect that there’s some agenda to confusing sex roles in society, but it escapes me as to how it can lead anywhere useful for anyone – even for the power trippers.”

        I believe that with all the preversions in DC lately being brought to the surface.. that to confuse the average person would be a good reason.. we see pedophilia , satanic worship, incest, pay for play.. insider stock deals, the list is so huge on the political crap…. and so diverse that to get the average you and me to question our sexuality.. makes their perversions seem a little more legitimate..
        why should they be asking a six year old and having him question whether he is a boy or a girl.. did you ever have a stuffed animal.. yes.. then maybe your a girl.. do you like pastels.. hmm
        that line of questioning is now mandatory for any govt. health or operated agency..
        I believe it could be a push to desensitize the actions of those that should be questioned..
