“You are Where You Think.”
Yes, that’s right.  There’s more to Life than making money so today we stretch-out a bit and do extreme home make-overs.
More than even what you eat, I believe people’s environment determines their productivity and, in the special case of home, you are very-much influenced by the vibe of the dwelling you live in.
Many people never “get into it” but to us, there is nothing more enjoyable than a home where every room transports you mentally to a “new way of thinking and being.”  Today, a bunch of notes on how we set about it – and a couple of highly-recommended books and resources.  Including some “Gee, why didn’t I think of that?” tech.
First, though, we will roll through some headlines and have a look at the market which closed just barely under our 23,723.38 target level on Tuesday but trading much of Tuesdfasy above it.  Time to call a top?
We bean up and roll…

Odds of future Fed Hikes may be diminishing thanks to computer models. 

For those who don’t track such things, there is an incredibly interesting paper our from the Federal Reserve in its Finance and Economics Discussion Series (FEDS).

In  addition, a long discussion on Mexico which we’ve been writing about for a couple of decades as a sorry place that doesn’t leave many happy endings in place.

While I would much rather continue with our alternative power systems design series, this is a money-making oriented publication and there’s a dandy reference to the Keynesians that this paper makes that falls right in line with our thinking.

So today, a few charts, a look at the trade-shortened week coming up (President’s Day, don’tcha know) and our sly though dry view of the Friday wash coming out in print…  Beaned up?

EMP, HEMP, SREMP and other robust power design parameters.

We don’t mean to go off the deep end here, but there is a new report out on one of our favorite “unknowns” – namely Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) effects.

This morning, we review not only what some of the baseline data offers, but also present non-EMP factors to consider if you are planning to “keep the lights on” when few (if any) of your neighbors do.

After we look at the soaring market and some passing headlines to get us warmed up.

Charging is harder than you thought.  Regardless of your energy source, whether wind, low-head hydro, solar,  or that noisy old gen-set, there is still the problem of getting the energy into your deep-cycling long-term alternative energy storage battery system.

It’s not as simple as it sounds. 

This morning, we break down how to do it right.  And as credentials, we’d offer our experience on our solar system here at the ranch which ran its first set of batteries from 2007 to 2018.  Decent “mileage” for batteries in anyone’s book.

First,. a few headlines and the morning’s charts..followed by a “focus section” that you’re sure to get a charge out of…

I have pushed-back the next chapter on our solar/renewable energy book to Saturday because a couple of readers asked me to take a look at Gold which has popped up over the $1,300 level recently.

When I went through the data (which is something we love to do!) I found something that’s definitely worth thinking about.

That is, after we roll with headlines and our Aggregate view of markets.

Confessions of “A Battery Slumlord.”  As  our “superior prepping” for whatever comes has evolved, we began with a survey of  basic energy economics in a society that literally would starve without lots of power.

After that, we ran through the process of “Scoring Power Sources” in chapter two.  On Wednesday, we rolled out some of the basic design parameters of any alternative power system by looking at lifestyles and load sheets.

This brings us to this morning’s chapter where you will learn more than most about how to select batteries.  We will “go light” on the chemistry, but we will share some critical theory.  Because with the exception of large ICE-driven sources, it’s nice to be able to store a lot of power for future use.  You’ll learn how to “run the numbers.”

First, however, a few headlines and some focus on the charts because we seem to be breaking higher in the markets.  We’ll dust off our Elliott wave prediction spreadsheet in here, too.  So coffee and headlines and then we’re off.  Doing what few will on such a football-oriented weekend.  Wasting none of our precious time in life, except, perhaps, to marvel at today’s demonstration of a time machine on national television.

Wait!  Did I just say time machine?

Sure did!  How else can you explain 2 minutes on the clock taking more than 20-minutes to occur out here in the hinterlands?
