With the stock market closing the week in record high country, we focus today on ways to tell when we have started to turn down. One of the simplest tools to use are simple trend channel lines.

If you have a spreadsheet program which some chart tools, you can skip the technical 2 or 3 standard deviation calculations and simply eyeball what can be very useful trend changes.

Before we do that, however, a few headlines including a few comments on the “peach” show trial which spend who knows how much taxpayer money Friday heading from someone who had know knowledge of anything having to do with the Trump phone call to the Ukrainian president.

Here,. all this time, we though the fishing season closed for the winter.  Our bad.  But, then again, we’re not members of the attempted coup in progress,

solutions to the problem revealed in a recent Bloomberg story “Richest 1% of Americans Close to Surpassing Wealth of Middle Class .”

As one who has always enjoyed “word problems”  in math classes, we can achieve some remarkable insights  by carefully reading “the facts”.  As you will see when we outline wealth concentration as “The fishing hole problem.”

First, though, we have some headlines to scale.  After which we go swimming through the charts.  Eventually, though, we get around to floating some useful thinking.   We trust you’ll catch-ion.

Frame it as taking the billionaires to Walden Pond for an outing.

Big discussions today on Fed Repo actions, the rise of Non-depository “banks,” the Berlin Wall 30-years later, and some business activity numbers.     We’ll stick mostly with useful numbers and concepts this morning.

All worthwhile ponders as we continue watching the Great American Subpoena Festival in the District of Corruption.

After some caffeine, headlines, and a deep dive into our charts.

This morning a discussion of hybrid money systems.

Is there a way out of America’s Financial mess?  Well, turns out yes there is.  While it may seem impossible on the surface, there is one path that could pretty much cure “all that ails us.”

I call the process “re-denomination” and it would at once dispense with all kinds of financial uncertainty. 

There would, no doubt, be a huge cry from the vested interests in finance.  Because it’s in their selfish interests to keep front-running retail stock trades.  Which is what online trading platforms do.  And – since they’re all cut of the same cloth – the SEC and other mythical enforcement groups in bed with the industry they pretend to regulate – will punish only the slow manual traders.  High-frequency trading is crooked but the regulators pretend it’s not.

Yet, how is it HFT online tracing firms can give away stock trades commission-free?  Because the real money is made front-running, we suspect.

To fix that – and a ton of other ills – we need a bottom to top rethink.  So this morning we toss out a framework to get that done.

After charts and coffee, headlines and OK, if you insist, a few snide remarks along the way.  Oh, and our Indonesia Bureau Chief checks in…

The Fed is price-fixing and the Bubble is here.   Yeah – free markets are a Big Lie. This one hit me like a ton of bricks this week.  There I was, in my office doing generalizing.  And that’s when the “veil lifted” and a whole new world appeared.

As it turns out, much of what I’ve written on UrbanSurvival (the free site) is not only true, but the ramifications put a whole new slant on investing.

So we will skip the daily rub with a microfiber cloth of the rose-colored glasses .  Instead, this morning we reach for 180-grit sand paper instead. 

Which may take away some of the captivating details of what you think you see.  But what’s left visible is both big and important.

After headlines and what has evolved into an interesting ChartPack section this week. Since the Federal Reserve is in the business of price-fixing.  So much for “free markets” huh?

Narrowing the “fishing grounds” today, we consider the Q of Time. Sounds incredible, but as I’ve accumulated the data over the past several years, there is compelling reason to pursue two very specific lines of inquiry outlined in the three earlier reports on this.

Today, we’ll begin the process of putting past time travel events into a format that will provide for easy analysis.  With that we should be able to “box-in” a small specific hunting ground.

First, however, some morning headlines and our ChartPack = plus the ADP jobs report –  as the market continues trying to figure out what to do with all the recent Fed liquidity…

Pack sandwiches and a Thermos for this one – runs north of 6,600 words, not counting charts and figures…
