Say, here’s an ugly thing to be thinking about – like you need a few more, right?
How will you react and cope if the Web were to go down?
As we know, thanks to social media, we are in what can only be described as a digital uprising – that which we label The Webolution.
How to cope, plan, and prepare? After headlines and charts, a detailed discussion is served…

Subscribers please note, I am posting the graphic above that we discussed last week so people who don’t understand the news can play the “home version” of American Webolution.
In simplest terms, America is in the middle of an Electronic Uprising – and the battle space is shown in this chart. This about guarantees that we will see Draconian restrictions on the web as the Constitutional Government will – at some point – have to shut down Social Media in order to defuse their Webolution. Next week on Peoplenomics, we’ll work on how to prepare for that.
This morning, just the charts, posted a bit late so I could follow the trading in Europe for a while today.

Don’t worry if the news in recent years has made less and less sense. There’s a simple reason for it that no one dares speak about openly. However, since the Fourth of July is upon us, it’s past time to get real with ourselves and admit that America now has two governments.
Which means, that we are in the Webolutionary War.
There are aspects of intergenerational, plus plenty of left-wing, socialist/communist influences, sure-sure, all that. But, it’s also a war involving money – one of the root causes of all wars.
Oh, yeah, and one possible outcome is (as I’ve written since 2012) the Licensing of the Internet. Maybe a shutdown, too – to save the incumbent government.
So bean up – a few headlines, the charts, and so forth – but then into the foxholes as Coimandante Ure’s non-partisans survey the battlefield and make sense of both side’s fortifications. A report that will leave you charged up, if not shell-shocked…

The topic du jour is a rethinking of what drives the economic Long Wave. First identified by Nikolas Kondratieff (Kondratiev to revisionists) in 1926, the notion of a 48-64 year economic cycle as a driver of future events is with us even now.
Still, there are many questions about “the wave” and how it is seen. So today a renewed conversation with an amazingly smart colleague who I worked with in 2001 when we advanced the notion of a currency debasement (displacing value with debt behind a currency).
After some coffee, headlines, and the charts, some really useful thinking about the times directly ahead. I nice break from the news flow that; constitutes the National Distraction and the coming of Digital Mob Rule.

With so many people asking “Gee, what should we do to really retire?” I thought it would be worthwhile to explore a whole different concept.
I call it “downscaling.”
After we get through the charts and such, we will dig in to the Golden Years and see whazzup…

Several readers and two of our children are asking the same question at about the same time:
“If I take an early 401(k) distribution because of a change in where I work and pay taxes on the money, how’s the best way to spend or invest it?“
Today, we play out a few scenarios – and see which ones make the most sense.
After we consider the Tuesday market action, see where the charts have us going, and mull the future of life once upon a time…

Picking up from Wednesday’s report, we give some clear examples of where synthetic growth may come from…
A kind of how-to for policymakers.

We focus this morning on our methods of thinking about odd topics like synthetic growth of the economy. This is part one of two; in this we outline the approach to model future investment opportunities. The, Saturday, we will “populate the model” and use it as a ‘future-scope.’
In this morning’s ChartPack, we will blast away on an old Johnny Cash song )”I walk the line”) as we patiently wait for a decisive break in the market. Perhaps after today’s Fed announcement?
First, to the headlines and bean…

We assume our readers have some interest in getting “rich.” And yes, it is not only possible but actually likely if you understand the financial conveyor belt.
In addition, a number of readers have asked me to explain when is a good time to hold a position (*short or long) over a weekend.
Although I’m not a registered professional, I do have some thoughts on that point as well ast things I do know well: Long wave economics and making ssense of the news flow.
So that’s the “weekend menu” after we roll through some headlines and the ChartPack.

Strangely, the same Western Reductionist mindset that gave birth to computers and so much more, may have missed an interesting area of human behaviors that likely affecst markets. Due in part to how our number system is designed: Linear.
Today, after crumpets and bean, we shall elucidate how a study of pressure calibration reveals one one possible hole (or fallacy( in “scientific thinking.”

Big – wide-ranging – discussion this morning of the coming Digital Mob Rule that we’re already experiencing the leading Tweets of. But does this really lead to a reconsideration of semi-mythical creatures like Sasquatch?
Indeed, it does. Though only if we look (as I do in my next book) at the schema of consciousness in Reality and how unraveling those relationships is a bigger deal than even CERN. After coffee, headlines, and charts, of course.

Sure, the S&P, Case-Shiller, CoreLogic, housing report came out Tuesday.
It was generally acclaimed as indicating more growth. But, we’re seeing reasons to be cautious about what it foreshadows as we discuss this morning.
After headlines and recovering from that nasty decline in the market Tuesday that left Mr. Bear happy-dancing through cocktail hour…

The answer is just ahead, possibly within weeks.
This morning we go through the chart cases, wave counts, and some data…none of which is totally convincing.
And when in doubt? Sit on your Wallet!
