Donald Trump has another problem besides Mueller fallout to worry about. This morning we look at the major metrics of supposed “economic growth” and wonder like the old burger-joint commercial asked “Where’s the beef?”
After some headlines and our analysis of the markets which, in our view, at near (or at) a critical turning point just ahead.

The mythical power-source from Star Trek is a marvelous metaphor for the long-range investor. While we may not live to see it, both our middle age and Millennial subscribers may benefit from borrowing some Spock-like thinking processes which we outline this morning.
So, as soon as we’re done with a few headlines and breaking news – plus our chart discussion – we will head down to the holodeck and see if gold can be materialized in the future, if not the pasture.

Are we toping or readying for new highs? Since I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about judgments lately – and the whole process behind them (whether good or bad), we’re going to make some judgments today about the pending future.
First, though, a lot at some key headlines and then we’ll eye the future through the lens of data in our ChartPack. I think you’ll find it interesting.

What does Elaine’s mink jacket have to do with government? The link is subtle, but important. Transactional economics not monetary. Elaine owns the mink. Government owns us all.
Today, we follow the 250-year trend towards “renting your life.” It’s a movement that has been gaining ground a lot lately. That’s because absent new tech breakthroughs, we’ve been reduced to monetizing sex, the weather, and all the while, government pressure builds as we lurch towards depletion of the planet’s resources.
Cheery stuff to serve up at mid-week, don’t you think? After charts and some headlines as our “warm-up act.”

Too many subjects and not enough time at Old Man Labs. But, some of it is just damn useful so we will wade through a nicely sized helping this morning.
Talking trees, light crown construction, and free energy are all on the agenda.
After the usual headlines, charts and half-caf.

Was he a “linguistic magician” or a “mystic linguician?” The latter, linguician, not to be confused with the language and music app for Android, of course.
What we deal with today is the logical problem of analyzing what to make of Nostradamus’ work, Especially in light of the fine work on point done by long-time friend G.A. (Stu) Stewart who runs the savory “The Age of Desolation” website over here where this morning’s topic is explained but without the technical detail.
We will delve head-long into the future, after first suffering word of the recent past (news) and consider how the markets are doing after the manic kick-off to the week.

With War on the Horizon, time to dial things in. Back in 2015, we outlined how to build a fairly effective “home intelligence platform” using readily available online tools. Until recently, however, there wasn’t much to “move the needle” in terms of international crisis.
That has recently changed. So this morning with get back into Cold War territory of “throw weights” and how many people can be killed in one massive attack. Not for the faint of heart.
First, however, a few comments on America’s “Split-Level Justice System.” And coffee, of course.

Can we blame the 460-point Dow drop Friday on the end of a political election report?
Because of travel, we will have an exceptionally short report this morning. Assisted by an ill-timed Microsoft update that stole an hour of work time. But, not like we’re the first victims under that bus.
For those wondering, yes Blood Sweat and Tears at the Apache Casino here in Lawton, Oklahoma was a real nice show. I thought the sound was a bit “busy” in the first couple of songs, but as they rolled along, it kept getting better right up to the end after a two-song encore. (I resisted my inclination to offer a lecture on “overlayering” which is when nearly a dozen instruments light off at once.” Better mix (FOH and BOH) is to sub-group and not exceed four “layers” or everything gets cacophonous… Like I said, though, I know when to shut-up.
OK, a mish-mash and then back to bed. Man needs his sleep…

It’s one more “world-ending” threat to consider. Unlike the odds of a full-on nuclear exchange between parties on the Indian subcontinent, we don’t hear much in the daily fear-mongering about what could happen if the world got too much really good news from the field of medicine.
Rather than monger, though, we’ll look at an area of science where exactly this type of “economic breakthrough” might occur and take it from there.
After a few headlines and such, of course.

Installation is simple…but not really...
Today we cover the actual installation of solar panels and how to figure where to point them in the sky. After which, we go through some of the final power-center considerations and then start to wire things up.
But all that will have to wait as we go through a few news headlines, and look at where markets seem to be heading in our chart section.

Data-driven oddities to note before and after TSHTF
A lot of UrbanSurvival readers think our Peoplenomics.com site is only about playing markets, saving for retirement and generally getting one-up on The Money Game.
Surprise! It’s not.
It’s really about getting the most out of life and we broadly define that as our transactional relationships with the world.
Today we serve up a longish report with some tantalizing (non-stock market) ideas. The first as we reveal a potential cause of U.S. (and global) obesity rates which are non-apparent but which line-up with historical data well. Do we have a new “magic weight loss regimen?” Read-on. (Maybe…)
The second morsel is looking at everything (right down to which car to buy) as an exercise in cost-per-pound analysis. There’s another surprise in the data there.
After our latest breaking economic news just out, and oh, sure, a handful of charts as we track the market through its latest gyrations…

Lifestyle and System Integration is our menu today.
Since we have taken the time in the previous 8-chapters to learn the basics of the sub-system components, we can focus on making intelligent purchase decisions today.
Which will lead into next week’s chapter on wiring it all up and how to navigate a “Co-Generation Agreement” if you’re planning to sell power back onto the grid.
We’ll get to this after a few headlines and our usual view of the market which continues to be more than slightly bearish overall.
Coffee?
