Prepping for a Lower Income (1 of 2)

We dig in to a number of macro trends that are beginning to support a case for a “slow crash of lifestyles” globally.
In part one today, we go into the drivers of the trend.

In part two, this coming Wednesday, we will explore a familiar topic:  Voluntary lifestyle reduction and how to play that angle.

Along with charts and a few news headlines, but gotta tell you, the news flow is terrible – so far – this weekend.

Will February Lows Hold?

90-minutes before the open, the Futures were holding flat to tiny declines. Dow’s beinig arb’ed up.  Normally, this would lead to the idea that the declines are done for now.  But that’s what we deal with in our charts while nervously looking at what the collapse of Globalism would mean.

After the charts, some notes from around the ranch.  Plus, a personal observation about the damage being done by “social just-us warriors.

Coffee at the ready?

From there?  On to our charts that are often instructive on where the world goes next.

BrainAmp Market Forecasting

Global Bear Market, Week Nine.  Ure suffered a nearly four-figure paper loss due to the manic run at the close Tuesday.  Today, though?  Ure gets his revenge when the market opens.  Futures are down more than 500.
The old saying “Markets can remain irrational longer than Ure can remain solvent,” may not be true after all.  See you at the cashier cage today!

Meantime, where does the YouTube shooting fall in our “murder cycle” work?  That and more…

AI: Sunset for Musicians

A word of caution:  Avoid the temptation to blast co-humans with  the catchier tracks linked in this morning’s report.

A bit longish, sure – especially if you listen to all the music links.  This is a study of music that reveals a great deal of the general processes involved in obsolizing/obsoleting humans.

Amazing Echoes of the Twenties

I spent a fair number of hours this week going through the 1928 and 1929 newspaper morgue of the Library of Congress online.
I loved it –  a grand non-numerical way to “sense” the rolling end of the Roaring Twenties and look for plays today that rhyme long-past events.

We’ll get to it, just as soon as headlines, charts, and several cups of the bean get us rolling.
