Crappy week for markets – if you were foolish enough to be long (Bullish) stocks after Labor Day. Both the Dow and the NASDAQ were down more than 1,000 points each while the S&P was down more than 200.

This morning, we sort through some of the drivers and – in our usual 18-chart collection – will look at where recent data has suggested we’re going next.

Honestly, presidential politics has become rather boring now that Donald Trump will not be running from behind bars. Thus, avoiding the full-on revolution that some have predicted.

Still, there’s the little matter of the neocons, who have “bellows to the fire” trying to get even a limited nuclear exchange going before elections in order to further their uni-party goals.

Not the most exciting plans to consider, but sadly the “grownup thing to do” at this time in life.

I can’t think of two more important topics this month. Especially as the world careens toward a nuclear showdown, China slobbers on Taiwan, and down on Wall Street, our Aggregate Index work has been right, again.

The Nikkei was down more than 4-1/4 percent overnight and the picture in Europe isn’t pretty, either. Now imagine a whole week of Tuesdays. Might come to that, but we will see.

Yesterday doesn’t matter on this side of the sunrise, though.  In our charts it will be all eyes on “Gee, how bad could it get?”  (Very if not nuclear at midmonth, still pretty bad.)

We loaded up the hamburger fund Tuesday, but didn’t stay into the bitter end.  Ran out of QuikClot.  Ever try talking sense to a stampede?

More musings into the Princeton EGGs as we ponder the state of congruence and entrainment further.

Of course, a short column because it is the holiday weekend, after all.  And I did win the Scotch bet but Tuesday will be another day. Lots of distance to travel before then.

So a few headlines, a ramble into the preconscious projections of future and then on to

 Boy Time in the shop in order to have something worth sharing on ShopTalk Monday.

Are anti-aging effects additive and cumulative? Today we have some insights in our latest (non-medical) book. Where I write about my personal experiments with anti-aging protocols that don’t involve expensive prescriptions.

A slog through some headlines is in order including the latest – silly – reindictment of Donald Trump by a Democratville Grand jury.

After that we move on to the really important part of the column: status of the Scotch bet.  Which – so far – is leaning my way but with NVidia reporting after the today, we’re stuck between going to the moon or the mortuary at the close.

A fine time will be had by all, we’re sure. Except for the lowers who are, um, most of us.
