How to Fix Hollywood

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/

SML: Electronic Thought Templates

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.

How to Monetize ANYTHING

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..

AI and the Return of Slavery?

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…

Why Reagan Tax Cuts Won’t Work Now

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…

Restyling Thought Processes; Bitcoin Outlook

A couple of interesting topics this morning.  The first ought to really be considered an “application note” from the manufacturers of your brain.  That would be biology, parents, schools, and relationships.  All brought up because I’m knee-deep in the new genre of self-help books arriving.

The Bitcoin outlook?  More a mechanistic outlook, based on Elliott wave theory and trend channels.  Depending on your inclination, either one of them could be profitable.

10/10 Subscriber Note

As we forecast last Wednesday (with remarkable accuracy, lol) What we are witnessing in the market today is the K2 formation described.  More tomorrow…

Thoughts on Knowledge Compression

Our topic this morning?  How to compress knowledge.  Or, more properly, how to restructure it so it becomes much more useful and accessible than it presently is.

In other words, we eye the transition from idiotically verbose knowledge to “distilled knowledge” of the sort that fits into fields of a database.

After, that is, we roll through the charts and look at what should be new all-time highs again next week barring major left field events.
