Here is a question that will intrigue you if you look for any length of time at Long Wave Economics.  Are there substitutes for ‘war’?  If so, how would government test-bed an economic substitute?  Not too many hints should be needed:  Simply think Satoshi.’  The New World Order’s plan to take down the financial system of sovereign countries.  One World, here we come…

After some headlines and coffee, we inspect the Long Wave and notice where the WTC/9-11 happened and where Bitcoins were introduced.  Two data points doesn’t make a trend but should it raise questions while we can still ask?

This past week, I was telling you about how it seems to me  that there is a distinct lack of “adventure” in America among the Millennials.

Sure, life’s hard, sorting out what gender and which of umpteen programming jobs they want.  But after the charts today and a few headlines, a real treat.  A buddy of mine who lived out in “them thar hills”  (and is another old man of the web) shares one of the most interesting tales of adventure you’ll ever here.  So, throw another log on the fire…

With a year from the election of Donald Trump, it’s time to begin work on our economics (and therefore market) outlooks for 2018.

As a starting point for this seasonal review I wanted to begin this morning with a look at two years of data in order to assess whether economic  progress has been “real” or “perceptual.” 

After coffee, headlines and those damn bullish charts that as of last week had been calling this bull market run spot-on for over a year..

We take some time this morning to look at crypto currencies, the future of autos, and where gold may go.

These are all topics of immediate concern to subscribers…but first a few headlines and a look at the charts.  Which, as we expected, ended the week in the U.S. right on our 9-day moving averages…

One of our readers asked an interesting question that deserves a comprehensive answer this morning:  What is the point of all the Peoplenomics research and charts if *Ure’s truly*  doesn’t religiously follow his own models?

FOGOD – fear of gap opening down – –which the market is set to deliver in an unusually timely way as our example today at the open. After our usual headlines and coffee, natch.

Economics is often best-understood through the use of a “thought-model.”  Around here, when enough pieces of the Big Picture aren’t fitting well, we fall back to a hypothetical “super agency” that is in charge of delivering an agreed-upon future to those of us who are blissfully ignorant of the game’s highest levels.

With this in mind, we launch into a discussion of “The Crazy Beam.” And, as you’ll see as our “fictionalized” story unfolds, there is a case for 18 (or more)  mass shooting events in the US in 2018.

It’s all in the numbers this morning as we behold one of the most interesting spectacles of human history.

We have been screwed out of 12 percent of our real lifestyle and it takes some clever work in statistics to see it and understand how it’s been pulled-off.
Before we get you straightened out on that, headlines and charts. 

We may be going down the road of Rome, but no reason not to have a few Didrachm along the way.

This morning we go through a review of what has gone wrong in Hollywood.  Long list.  And, as our contribution to “public service” we also offer some free consulting advice on how to fix what ails the silver screen crowd.

Except, in mid-report a mystery pops up and it leads to the underworld…

After charts and news bits, or course.  I mean, what’s the movies without having to sit through some “previews of coming attractions,’ right/

Some years back I developed “The Substitution Method of Learning” or SML for short.  The idea is that you can  generalize the form of knowledge by simply replacing terms to come up with new, and often very useful, approach to problems.

Today, we focus on electronics which, as it turns out, provides an excellent tool for understanding both product development and how people operate.

If the idea doesn’t “resonate” with you, some study of concepts like “resistance” may lead you to this morning’s path

If not, certainly our adventure in Fed Spotting will be of interest – if you’ll pardon the pun at this hour.

One of our readers decided that I wasn’t right.  He challenged me to find a way to monetize anything he named.  He named doggie droppings.

But yes, this morning we talk about how to monetize dog droppings .  Perhaps not so coincidentally, the same principles apply to politicians.  So this morning we talk method and technique.

First, however, the charts and why I am still in my nearly insane short position.  Hint:  It has something to do with chickens and when they hatch..

We get into some interesting speculation this morning about the future of artificial intelligence.  Not so much about when it knows what TV shows you like.

No, what we’re talking about when machine consciousness shows up; wants to vote and that kind of thing.  Alexa with a soul.  Siri with her own tastes…

Ever wonder what happens when the A.I.  holds a “job” (formerly done by a human)? Are human-like robots subject to withholding?  Fascinating problems are out there…after coffee, headlines, and charts…

Maybe…maybe not.  But this morning we game out how the mesh of Chinese regional interests, the attacks on Trump, and eye the crazy markets with suspicion.

And as Spain cracks down on the Catalans, we wonder what’s ahead for freedom in the corporate world.  Bean up and let’s roll.

A subscriber asked a damn fine question in response to one of our columns. 

“I’m confused. Reagan overcame the worst economy with the highest interest rates I have seen in my lifetime. And started the biggest economic boom I have seen in my lifetime. Reaganomics worked extremely well for a very long time! “

No, Reagan was LUCKY.  For reasons we will explain this morning.   After a few headlines, charts, and coffee…
