Peoplenomics

Instead of our usual 4,000 word long discussion of something we have three topics this morning.  Although, any one of them could be treated as book length material.

First is Donald Trump promising big news this afternoon.  Then, there’s one of our oscillators that suggests we hit a potential turning point at the Friday highs.

But the real guts of today is the Personal Prepping Audit which we will attend to last.  mmade necessary by an amazingly timed power outage…

Oh, yeah…our emergency power systems are all working just fine…

Now that I’ve published the Small Trader Power Tool set – and subscribers have enough back-loaded historical data (nothing proprietary, just the Aggregate Indices we create) –  to at least begin back-testing their own trading ideas, I’m trying to “move on” to the projects that resonate most with me and which are both interesting plus offering some real future for humanity.

One of these topics is “lost technology.”

In addition to prepping and ham radio, of course, since there may be a Depression coming (they seldom send out invitations), the four projects that really “grab me” right now are the ones that have been rattling around in my head since the book-before  the book Psychocartography

On top of ultra-serious prepping, there are things like  sound-driven levitation, space-time warping, brain hacks, and unique explorations into historical events that may have much more basis in literal fact when viewed from the perspective of a modern, open-minded generalist.

Today, in what I hope is a refreshing break from markets and money and along wave economics (our focal stock-in-trade) we’ll instead consider some of the issues attendant to recovery of lost technologies.

With little more than Trump-bashing over  Wall funding and resultant government shut-down in passing headlines today, we abandon our regular report format in order to offer a software manual to accompany the Small Trader Power Tool (STPT)  workbook (a collection of worksheets in a single file) being released concurrently..

As you know, I have been fascinated with the use of market aggregates as a particularly useful way of considering Big Picture financial market behavior.  All based on the idea that there is just so much money in the world at one time available to bid prices up, or down.

So while congress bemoans the closure – which could be over in an instant if the presidential non-signing was over-ridden, we will keep our eye on the ball – which is looking at the Big Picture for guidance on how the future might roll out.

Not your “normal” Peoplenomics topic, for sure.  But, this is not so much about my specific back pain fixing, so much as it’s a lesson in using available resources and applying rigorous process to attain a designed result.

This coming Saturday, we have the “subscriber-sourced” Small Trader Power Tool (release candidate 1, lol) coming along.  Plus a few remarks about what happens when the  talks in DC fall apart.

So, coffee-up…as we ponder whether the rally of recent days will survive to the weekend.

Today, we’re into the “fun stuff” – the kind of thing I used to do and got paid well for doing:  Working out algorithmic software solutions to complex problems.

Since we are de-emphasizing the day-to-day trading discussions, we thought it would be fun to use the occasion to whip up some new – and maybe a bit unconventional – tools to make sliding a few more dollars into the bank a little less work…

Peoplenomics, as I’ve defined it, is the study of people economics.  So, what’s the point of studying “matters economic” if we can’t take a bit off the top for ourselves?

We’ll release the first draft of the tool next weekend along with some additional notes on algorithmic trading.  But, it sure looks through “the tool” as though the Dow jump of +747  Friday  was more algorithmic than humanistic, to us.

While we normally publish Peoplenomics twice weekly, due to the markets being closed Tuesday for New Years, there’s not much new.  So we will be along with our usual report Saturday…(Yes, I took a day off…)
