Age-old question here, but with some different views.  Including how personal consumption of “Happiness tools” may be changing from social distancing.

A few headlines and the chart pack, too.  Which is getting very interesting in light of the Fed tossing more money into things this week…

Calamity Cash Flow our topic, as promised, today. While it’s obvious that “If you can’t touch it, you don’t own it…” It’s also true that even if you can touch, doesn’t mean someone won’t try.

This is a problem when the “law” is on their side – so a discussion this morning as we rehash how to get the law on your side.  Of course, this assumes there a) is still law and b) it’s still acting as intended.

Which we might get to observe during Q1-2021.

Before that, some notes on down-conditioning plus a look at the charts.  Which popped just over our trend line at the close of turn-around Tuesday.  We’re actively scanning for “Market torpedoes” in the news scanner today.

We size up the death of Uncle Sam as an internal “national cohesiveness marketing tool” of America.  Which is then contrasted with China’s roll from socialism, heading for communism, becoming instead socialists rediscovering Confucianism.  Lot of ramifications.

Before that, a few headlines including a track of Beta O’Storm, which is about to hit south Texas.  Along with other “newsly delights.”

Mainly, though, we are anxious and on “twiddle-time” until Monday when we’ll see (as will you in today’s ChartPack) how there’s plenty of technical grounds to worry about what’s ahead for markets.

The passing of RBG and a Trump “snap appointment” is also sure to strike deep into coming week madness, as well.

Seat backs and tray tables?

Another nominee is presented in our quest to find the Grand News Unifier. That is, the person, organization, or affinity group that could be blamed (or credited) with much of what passes for “news.”

Interesting topic, I hope you’ll agree.  Just as soon as we ramble through some headlines and ponder a mid-week “Hold ’em or Fold ’em” as we size up charts ahead of this afternoon’s Fed decision and Chairman’s remarks.

So a nod to the headlines in the stands and a red cape for the bulls.  Ure enters the ring…

Rapid Knowledge Acquisition on 3-D Printing with a side of Computer Numerical Control is on the agenda today.  Along with our ChartPack which has sure been getting interesting, here lately.

A few headlines and then “Ready?  Set? Print!”

Screw the “usual” few headlines this morning. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.  Age-Adjusted Return on Investment in the focus section.  Plus, with the markets indicating at least something of a bounce at the open, a look at techniques to “know when to fold ’em.”

Peoplenomics gets into a lot of strange and interesting areas on occasion (like 170 pages of UAP research, lol), but at its core, the website is about thinking outside the box.

And having a Brinks truck pull up out front now and then, as a result.

With no significant market data and knowing that forest fires are still burning all over the west, how about we light up some charts?

The rest of the year?  We need to have us a little talk about that.  As usual, with “visual aids” because things are beginning to look might dicey from where we sit.

Since this is one of my few actual 2-3 day weekends, we will dispense with headlines.  A suitable tradeoff for working on the report into Friday evening.

Gotta say – love this “retirement business.”  Only a 13-hour day and the 6th one for the week.  Believe me, when you pass 70, you’ll want to be a slacker, too.

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…

America’s economy requires periodic setbacks or it implodes.  So we begin this morning with a discussion of how many Depression checkboxes has CV-19 ticked off, so far.

Then a couple of interesting woo-woo items.

But first, an assortment of headlines and the ChartPack.  Which – like Elon Musk – is in Fly Me to the Moon mode…

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…”

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.”

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.

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?)
