February 16, 2013 — A friend of mine, Dr. Ron Klatz who heads up the American Academy of Anti-Aging  Medicine, A4M.com, recently announced plans  for something to be called Taskforce13.  The reason this is such an  important issue at present is that the global power elite are trying to figure  out what to do with emergent anti-aging technologies which indisputably work.   After being ready to railroad anti-aging, Klatz was one of the key people at the  World Economic Conference in Dubai, who successfully argued in favor or  age-extension technologies and that, at least for now, has a lot of shakers and  movers in the PTB going back to the drawing board to figure out “OK, so what DO  we do?”  The reason is clear:  The way ahead is particularly grim if you look  just at the dollars and cents, instead of focusing first on the sense of what  our real choices are.  So this week, a look at the balance scale to see what  life extension may – and may not – be able to do.  After our usual morning  headlines, first…

February 13, 2013 — After a series of very long Peoplenomics articles, this morning we return to  our economic roots as we ponder the way ahead.  This is particularly important  because of last night’s State of the Union and some of the news items which  popped up this spring in our monitoring of predictions and forecasts.  Plus we  can eye “record highs” in the market with a bit more suspicion now that the Fed  has updated its online inflation calculator through 2013.  It ain’t pretty.  As  always, nothing like a few headlines to wake up the brain, so we’ll deal with  those straightaway…

February 9, 2013 — Although dreaming is one of those “soft” skills few respectable  economists will admit to being curious about, their very industry depends on  correctly capturing and correctly assessing key aspects of the future in order  to make profitable investment decisions.  Isn’t “investing” simply buying  “today” what will have greater value at some time in the “future?”  So this  morning we’ll have a deep poke and prod at this soft-squishy stuff that arrives  at the moment of touch; when all potential alternatives coalesce into Now.   Since we’ve had a bunch of earthquakes in the South Pacific (more on them in a  moment) we could be meandering toward what predictive linguistics suggests could  be a Global Coastal Event in our future: this year.  But practical matters  first.  Coffee, headlines, and charts.

February 6, 2013 — First item of business this morning is a discussion of  the 8.0 quake last night, a few notes on the possibility of a prequel to a  Global Coastal Event and then we will pick up with what we started on last  weekend, which was what?  A discussion of investment ideas for young families  and at the top of the agenda there is a discussion about how each of us is CEO  of our own business empire – MeCompany for short. Since people are very much  business models which operate like companies, we can then put some benchmarks  out in terms of measuring how we’re doing as MeCompany CEO’s.  First, as always,  the tai chi and yes, now I know why yesterday’s UrbanSurvival piece about the  (possible) global coastal event was such a downer in yesterday’s column….
