Think it’s been hard with the market decline, so far?  Brace yourself.  It could be getting a lot worse in short-order.

This morning we focus on concrete actions you can take to reinforce your future, if all of our charts, particularly the 1929 replay chart, haven’t gotten your attention, yet.

First up, a critical look at some of our forecast calls, and a look at possible turning points ahead.

After that, we’ll get into the  planning that even now can be done.  And it might keep you housed and fed if things go the way they could.

For the data doesn’t care about blame and party, anymore than the tide does.

Podcast #16 is up – runs about 35-minutes, or so and we talk about what to expect in next month’s unemployment data and a bit on the history of Bitcoin…

What matters is who are “the quick and the dead.”

As COVID-19 sloshes around, we suggest some serious movie-watching as a tonic.  Not that we’re not fans of high drama or spaghetti westerns…it’s period information we’re after.  Because out present-day period is going away.  Which year we “land in” will matter.

“Duh movies” seems like an easy way to pick up a lot of historical “knowingness” which seems like anything but a waste of time…everyone’s gotta have their motivation, so our eyes will be on the bit players.

More to the point, we also ask is MTM?  Is: “Media The Message?”.

Around here, if you don’t already see the parallel to “12-Monkeys” or see our addiction to “thingness” (as my UPS driver explained) as a mirror of the addiction problems in the movie “28-Days” you’re not paying attention.

Not a flick-fan?  OK, then to the radio…

Why, it’s Baltimora!!! Once famously recorded, how we could all be “Living in the Background”.  But, relief is ahead…

“I’ve come out of hiding by and by

(Been all alone)

Cause I’ve been immobilized for so long

(On my own)

Slowly emerging from the dark

(It’s just day by night)

I feel like I’ve wasted so much time 

I’ve been living in the background….”

After the updated forecast, and some hints of relief in the data, a look at the ChartPack, and some comments on topping off supplies, we’ll consider “movies as keys to our future…”  You tracking, Pilgrim?

After the morning’s “bad news” we’re going for a “time out” and a “useful distraction” to keep from dwelling on the growing pile of problems. Covid cases in the US are now well-over 100,000 and there are whispers it could be worse than the Spanish Flu of 1918.  The markets are interesting, sure.  So is the D.C. half-step.

We will cover all this – plus our ChartPack view of markets as we slide into Depression II.

But, in  the interest of keeping our neurons firing,  a savory bit of research called “Evidence of Cultural Entanglement Knowledge.”

Podcast 15 is available here – a bit longer than usual as my consigliere drops by with some comments…so with that, click on in….

There is lot more to this discussion than “money” in the digital/fiat sense. There are assets like “length of expected Life” and “How much to spend to get how smart?” 

Those are metrics that always matter.  Money just moves up to the “top of the pile” because it is the most visible layer in human economics.  The deeper question is “What are you buying and to what end?”

When studied, we fail to find in Nature, any such compunctions to print, charge interest, carry-back seconds, or the whole litany of behaviors called “financial engineering.”

Let alone buggering-up what should have already been a simply relief act due to lost incomes due to the shut-ins.

The Hoax of it all comes into focus – and we’re really now at the weakest part of the PowersThatBe Cycle – for angry mobs can arise – we need to look back, as well as ahead, to see what kind of a bargain will be struck with the Devil on it’s latest periodic visit.

And that begins with redefining our sense of “value.”

Which we will do after the COVID data, the ChartPack view of the markets, and with an eye towards Pappy’s best advice:  “You can only spend it Once.” 

(Pappy didn’t know politicians. though…nor fractionally reserved Banksters…)

It’s an honest writer’s confession that I admired the late author Leonard C. Lewin.  You’ll remember him as the author of the best-selling Report From Iron Mountain: On the Accessibility and Desirability of Peace.  This was one of my favorite books.  It amplified the lessons of “thinking the unthinkable” I’d learned as a newsman years back

What most people don’t know is that Lewin wrote a second book titled Triage…in 1972. 

Its about a “world-sweep….”

But more on this – and why we may be moving into a “Post-Marketing Era” after some virus numbers, a few useful other things and, of course, where would we be without our ChartPack (whose study seems deeply useful, we have heard).

Oh, almost forgot:  Podcast14 is here. And some very interesting pointers on what lies ahead from one of those “well-placed sources.”

Welcome to another Lock-limit and crash risk day.  No surprise to subscribers, though. Our death-toll outlook now surpasses WW-II by mid-July at current rates.

We need a break.  So, in today’s report we try to look past the virus spread, toward some new technology that holds amazing implications.

Because sometimes in a crisis, it’s useful to know “where the magic is” and to realize that the future is a LOT closer than we think.  Pieces of it have been deployed for years…

In the process, you will learn the answers to several questions.  Like:  Why would we not be “me-too’ing” on more virus impacts?  What does the reference to entangled mean?  And how is all this tied together in such  a manner as to have Mr. Ure’s desk about to be adorned with a particular 6.7 pound “dark crystal?”

All things are connected in the Universe – even if it’s by Einstein’s spooky action at a distance – which in quantum physics is the magic. 

But first, yes, we’ll update the virus stats and yes, we have charts. Lock-limit nosebleeds,  and all.

But the focus today is on what happens after the Globally Transformative Disease (GTD) concept.  As we “reach out and touch” a future at the signpost  up ahead.

You see, most people forget there are two outcomes when you get to the Twilight Zone. (And yes, we’re  there, alright!) Sure, it could be “night” just ahead.

But just for this morning let’s focus on the other – less often cited – choice.

Dawn. 

Click ahead.  You’re about to catch a glimmer.
