Power Sources and Silver

This week I’ve spent a little time looking into what some have called “new electrics” but which seem likely to really fall more under the description “New Sources” – of power.

But we don’t stop there – as we go looking at how New Sources may be using a fair bit of silver to make their innards work.

As usual, though, we will begin with some headlines (Yes, Trump paid A LOT more income tax than Obama judging by his 2005 returns.)  And yes, we still start the Wednesday morning Data Festival rolling out the new Consumer Price report just out…

So bean on, buckle up…and let’s roll…

Aliens Visit to Discus the Y2K PPH

That’s the global Purchasing Power High of financial markets.

We approach this entirely tongue in cheek (d’uh) but in the light-hearted discussion there’s a a butt-ugly bit of truth.

When you look at things in just a certain way, the whole world has made less than zero REAL economic progress in the past 17-years.

But as long as you don’t think about inflation, it’s OK. And after seeing the data, you won’t want to think about global inflation…

As I said in “Broken Web…”

We are in one hell of a pickle as a Nation. Deep State/ShadowGov is at war.  

Wikileaks has revealed that the government is using the internet and smart phones and smart TVs as video watching and audio listening posts.  With all this, Donald Trump’s allegations of surveillance are gathering creds.  And looks like the gov’t is keeping computing unsecure.

We run through the news and the charts of what appears to be ahead, but if you’re a subscriber don’t dare miss today’s “Last Word:” section “A Message to Someone…

Ure may be buying a few index put options shortly.

From the Economist’s Notebook…

We dispense with our usual (and slightly cynical) view of the news in this weekend’s report in order to ensure that you have a very clear handle on the major decision-point immediately ahead not only for the U.S. but also Global Markets.

If you are not a subscriber, I think if you ever “get around to it” this could be on the key articles to read in six months to a year because we “lay it all out…”

Topology of Market Mindsets Ahead of Fed Meetings

Sorry for the grotesque title.  Psycho-social day here. It could have just as easily been “Why you should be long in the market right now but William Dudley of the NY Fed is wrong about “animal spirits” as we will explain.

An  another native title might have been:  George Lectures on Excel VLOOKUP functions and using that to derive meaning from data without going to ARMIA school.

First, though – a word about how the internet troubles are just one more reason a cashless society could be a complete rip.  As a lot of people found out with Net issues Tuesday…

Should You “Document” Your House?

This morning we look at a kind of novel idea:  Should you “document” your home?

What would be involved – and what are the payoffs – if any?

But first, we zoom-in on our Replay of 1929 roll along and see how the market is doing as it tracks our parabolic blow-off expectations…on our way to a “content-controlled world” in five, or less.

“Factor Three” Stock Bubble Behaviors

We will be focusing on the one reason Peoplenomics exists:  To make money by outsmarting the herd when it comes to managing our personal retirement accounts and such.

Remember, subscribers have been long this market for 15 weeks and some – using triple levered ETFs – have gains north of 30% which is a huge success by any measure lasting.

This morning we look at a couple of past bubbles and consider what’s the “bubble factor.”  How many times can a market multiply from its baseline?  The answer is….no, you gotta subscribe for that, sorry.

A Second Depression Master Plan

We go through a real in-depth discussion this morning of where things are lining up for a potential all-time-high next month (or shortly after).

While it is not inevitable, it is becoming increasingly likely as each week continues to bring us confirmation of our long-forecast March area potential All-Time-High.

This morning not only will we flesh out some details and give you some trading ideas, but we will also look at the way to prepare for it as we consider parallels to past manias including the 1919-1927 Florida Land bubble which smacks of recent economic history here in the U.S.

Peoplenomics “Book of Larger Contexts”

We stray from our usual track this morning  to lay out a kind of “Here’s How It All Works” report that’s some 7,000 words in length.

Lots of charts, too.

We cover everything from the immigration debate – and explain how it’s really a fundamental economic issue.  In addition, we walk-through why a Trump Tax Cut is a horrible idea and could easily backfire.

And all, when you think about it – which we do this morning – then leads to the even-larger context of governments repudiating fixed convertibility for money.

What frightens us most is that governments worldwide are moving to simply “make up” valuations of fiat money on the weak argument that terrorism could be fostered by cash.

That’s not a lie, per se.  More like an incredible stretch of the truth.  Which in turn begs the question whether tax cuts beget cashless, cashless begets floating scrip, and in the end panic as paper money heads for the scrap heap.

Definitely a “three-cupper” of a report.

Is America Insane?

We approach a very difficult problem this morning:  Mental Health of America.

Based on the outbreaks of “fake news” and “competing facts,” and other such MSM drivel, we sit back with some psychological glasses on, come up with metrics of “what makes crazy” and put up some data.

I think you’ll find the answer sadly disheartening.

But that’s not the only story.  Trump has just made another stupid mistake and we point out his latest… as I told you we would be supportive and give him a chance…but his latest is blowing something big.

Due Process.

The Weaponization of Social Media

Ouch!  Not a very comfortable topic today.  But an important one to consider going forward.

It began as a simple discussion of how America needs to begin coming up with new – and more effective – ways to fight militant Islamic jihadists.  But in the process, turns out that in addition to having a terrible “soft underbelly” in things like the SCADA systems that run utilities and such, the biggest “target of opportunity” is sitting right in front of us.

Social media…  It’s also why given time, perhaps within five years or less, we will see the arrival of my long-predicted web content licensing.
