Who’s There?

UAPs and UFOs are explored in this survey article. In a lot more depth than planne d – 33-thousand words worth.  Still, with end of summer at hand and little of much interest until markets begin to break down, why not expand our horizons, a bit?

A few (short) headlines and the ChartPack. With a brief discussion of runaway dynamic hedging as a market driver.

This morning’s main feature – the report -more like a book at 34,500 words, lol – can be downloaded from here.  Peoplenomics subscribers only – we like the $40-bucks a year subscription price to be worth a lot more.

On to the jobs data just out…

FML: Functional Monkey Language

Are you still bamboozled by people in Higher Education waxing endlessly on learning topologies and impact on pedagogy before students? With school just around the corner (and Up Ure Street) a light-hearted view on quickly mastering all things “Ejumacational.”
Some inside secrets to growing a powerful mind, since most of us either have children or grandchildren in uncertain schooling.  Or, the return on investment in public schools has become questionable. 
But first, a few headlines, quiche, storm outlooks, bacon strips, financial developments, hash-browns, coffee, statistical data, orange juice, and charts.  (Yeah, can you guess who’s hungry today?)
Well get pronto, too:  My stomach’s been asking if my throat’s been cut.  Click on in for “work before calories…”

Kiss the Fed Goodbye?

Just too much going on to ignore fresh developments in CryptoLand. Bye-bye to some long-sought down-time.  Developments at the Federal Reserve in research beg for analysis and commentary.

So here we go.

On the back burner, for now, is  our Big Project – which I hope to have ready for Labor Day Weekend.  It just sailed through 14-thousand words in length.  A seventh of a novel…non-fiction, though.

Superficially its premise is UFO data hints they may be from Here. We draw some fascinating conclusions through data, and in light of recent “disclosure” events.  Like the shows on TV lately.  Does the data leak evidence of “breakaway” involvement is pondered.

When you start “dot-connecting” there’s a mighty big rabbit hole to explore.

For today, short comments after we skim some headlines and “do the charts.”

Sealing the Exits

Building’s on fire.  Fire department has been called.  All safe?  No…not if…..  the exits have been sealed and you’re still inside.

And in a sense, that’s where millions of Americans are finding themselves. And strangely, they can give thanks:

Their jobs have disappeared.  Thanks Virus. 

They’re not as confident in their money holding value: Thanks Fed.

Their mail-in ballots are in question:  Thanks Post Master.

Their tax rates will be skyrocketing.  Thanks again, virus.

No more going the movies, a dinner out, and some of those “personal services” that used to power a vibrant “services sector.”  Once upon a time, we all had servants – at least now and then.  Ah, yesterday.  Thanks – circumstances.

We look today at tomorrow and try to get a sense of how it will all work out when economic reality hits- with the exits sealed and passports useless.  We’re not looking at the short-term bubble crap – but when the real stuff hits the fan on the years-long timescale when the votes aren’t certain, and the tax man commeth for that “advance refund” refund.

What then?

But first, a few headlines and charts – because this is not – as some are errantly framing these times as the “Roaring Twenties, again.”   No way in  hell.  Data set remediation, here we come.

And in this mid-summer writing frenzy, an in-depth look at what’s ahead for Oil, from the front lines with Oilman2, as well.

Wet Noodle Economics

You can almost taste the changes in the air.  An election coming up. The Post Office, of all things, has become a key pawn. A massive change in how society operates and interacts is pressed by a disease.  A global sense of “peak everything.”  And a collapse of millennium duration social norms. 

All of it attacked constantly on social media.  Which, in turn,  is incorrectly cited by wrong-headed media as representing the masses.
We set aside most of these things – since we can’t change the course of mighty rivers (or bend steel in our bare hands).  Instead, disguised as a mild-mannered skeptic for a miniscule website based on reason, we’ll present a powerful preview of the future.  Far-beyond those of ordinary men.
As soon as the few headlines and a fascinating ChartPack is done, we’ll scream “How High Silver?” and ride again. Cape diem.  (Cape the day?)

Successful Geezerhood (2)

Fresh CPI data, the UK slides into recession, liberal “gush” about Kamala.  Then part two of our plan-ahead piece on aging. Totally full plate this morning.  (Like I need another full plate, lol.)

Somewhere in here’s we’ll also review our Aggregate Index market charts and ask some questions about gold’s decline.

Coffee and speed-reading? Welcome aboard…

Successful Geezerhood

Part 1 this morning of a look-ahead for young people.  Old age is going to creep up on you..trust the old-timers on this.  That means the earlier you have a “game plan” for your senior years, the more likely you will be to “win.”

There’s a balance between lifestyle when you’re young and what kind of lifestyle you want to enjoy in the “golden years.”

Before we get into it – and begin to apply some basic “gap analysis” to the problem, let’s roll through some headlines.

After that, we will stare (mouth-agape and perhaps drooling) at our ChartPack of stock prices.  Which have risen to absolutely insane levels.

Seriously!  I mean think about it:  Companies are not hitting revenue targets, almost 9% fewer people are working, bankruptcies are rising…

Despite the facts on the table (even without second wave CV fears and election pandering) what was it we said?

Oh yeah…”No more money for U until after the election…” 

It’s like Investors are buying stock in a banana republic, we suspise.

Exsqueeze me?  Is the world flipping nuts?

Bean up and click-ahead, brothers and sisters:  Yes, the world IS nuts but we’re going on the “back-lot tour.”

Threat Board Mastery

Information is the “high ground” in all matters these days. Yet, for some reason, most people are “passive news and information consumers.”  A threat board is a tool to hone your aggressive news and information strategy to better inform all aspects of your life.

The average don’t look long, hard, or deeply at much of anything.  Bumbling through life – without purpose – it’s easy to drop in to “go along to get along” mode.

Oh, yeah:  It’s also what makes average people, well, you know…average!

We tackle that on an ongoing basis using the idea of a “threat board” which traces its way back to SWOT analysis in business.

But, before we get into it, a look at the height of financial folly in our ChartPack.  Sure…it really is different this time.  Until it’s not.

Bean up, eyes on your goals, and we roll…

Faster Than Light Adventures (2)

With markets insane, and with Fitch lowering its outlook on U.S. debt to negative, there’s a “clock running” on America before the Second Depression is widely felt. We need a break.

So, this morning we take off for a little side trip into some “things going on” and how they weave into a whole cloth.

Want to tie space travel, UFO’s, cattle mutilations, and why all that money into CERN into a big coherent wad?  We take a stab at exactly this. 

Mental distractions aside, we also hit the charts which are back to a “break up” or “break down” line for the coming week.

And if that’s not inspiring enough, how about forward CV-19 outlooks?

(Do we know how to have a fun summer weekend around here, or what?)

Click ahead…but you’ve been warned.  It’ll be stranger in here than it is “out there.” 

Or not…’cuz “out there” looks pretty sketchy to us…

Global “Revolution” or “Taxolution”?

We begin to tiptoe around whether we can be taxed into communism under the false-flag of “socialism.” Oh, sure, of course the costs of CV-19…and lots more …figure into it.

Put another way, can deficit spending and political demagoguery take down a country that literally saved the free world twice?  It’s become an interesting wager.

But first, we have a few choice words about the satanic party and its mockery of “hearings” by summoning attorney general William Barr and then not letting him give answers to false-choice questions.

As soon as my blood pressure comes off the pin, we’ll wade into this mess-o-facts and the market prospects given the “paper mache” model of economics now at hand.

The Migration of Work (2)

We tackle the second part of the recent “dream realms experience” this morning.  It’s very much spot-on when comes to matters “economics.”

That’s because deep-down, at the root of all human endeavors is the “key question” – what are we all doing here?  And as I think you’ll agree, when we look at the migration of work over millennial time-scales, something very useful comes into focus.

Beyond that?  Well, no podcast this morning – not enough time in the day for all things.

But, if it’s any consolation, that called Wednesday as a possible “Market Top” is looking not only interesting, but maybe a few bucks toward lunch on that one.

So, buckle up (and bean up) and off we go again…

Things Just Got Strange

Sorry, but this morning’s comments are for subscribers only. There is HUGE Woo-Woo afoot right now and I don’t want to be labeled a nutjob (anymore than already)  by putting it out on the public site.

You’ll have to make due with me telling you the “balloon market” is still expanding and the world is nutzo.  No change.

You can skip most of the headlines and if you simply hear Dow futures are up another hundred, that’s enough finance to hold you over to this morning’s open…

Fair warning given.  Tighten the seat belts..seriously odd bit of Woo-Woo to follow.
