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…

This morning we consider the “bounding issues” of the economy.

Specifically, we use an electronics concept (amplifier linearity) and twist it around to consider how it’s a good thinking tool for understand the bounds on Fed policy with regard to rates.

After coffee and the charts, of course.

Want most of the good things of a big city without the high prices?

This morning a note to the Ure offspring about where to be relocating to in advance of World War III.  Away from big population centers.

First, though, three economic data points are out this morning and while we didn’t get the whole decline predicted Tuesday, we still made, oh, 3.5% for the day.

Load up on the coffee…and let’s focus on making some money!

We break with tradition this morning and roll out Peoplenomics a day ahead of our usual publishing schedule because of the magnitude (and correctness of our call) for the Thursday market break.

We also lay out what could be ahead based on present projections into the future.  And no, it’s not very cheery stuff.

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.

Music’s a marvelous context for understanding computational encroachment into the human domain as we call out the technical <and in turn monetary drivers> that are moving toward the Sunset for Musicians.

First, our usual main news stories (especially the NOAA temperature and global warming fraud now breaking) along with our ChartPack view of markets.

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.

I have the good fortune to have an excellent doctor here in Palestine, Texas.  His problem?  He has the very bad fortune to have me as a patient.

This week, I got the results of my latest medical exam…and a discussion of “the numbers” is of great interest since most of our readers are “grown-ups.”.  And, when figuring estate-handling, life plans, and such, having an idea “how much time is left” is a very useful thing.

First, though, some headlines, including this morning’s fresh market data, and the ChartPack.  Best viewed while playing “Fly Me to the Moon” in background…

…Starts our quest in the Focus section this morning.

After a few bends and twists on the road tracking down the future, we are gob-smacked by a mutha-giant of a fact.
The Information Age is over.  Right there in the data.

Which we’ll get to after coffee, headlines, charts and a discussion about my “shorts.”  Which maybe should begin with “Gee thanks, Gary!”

Today we dig deeply into the cause of periodic economic depressions (which could be closer than you’d think) and come up with a surprising result.

While cycle theorists, such as Nikolas Kondratiev believed in the 48-64 year “long wave” we find evidence that there’s more driving periodicity than simple interest-rate fluctuations.

First, however, headlines and those amazingly prescient charts of our including an update on out Boolean Logical Comparison of two candidates for parallel timing circa 1929.

I call it the Machine-Human Overlap (MHO).  It’s the period between when a new technology comes along that works without human participation and when the last human leaves a supervisory role.
We’ve seen this is broadcasting, railroad, but the big stuff (cars, trucks, warehouses, retailing) is just gathering steam.  So with more than some concern we focus on the life-change no one’s focusing on:  the 10-year delta.  After coffee and the charts, of course…

We have a new way to forecast disaster in the financial arena.  Please excuse that it doesn’t conform to some of the rules of math, lol.

Then we look at expected positions of markets next week.
Oh, and the latest conspiracy theory making the rounds.  So, bean up and let’s go..
