Want to do a lot for “climate”? Then support “drone tourism.”  Of course there are a few downsides to it.  Mass layoffs in the hospitality industry, travel, and all that. But, no omelets without a few broken eggs, right?

Speaking of broken – we kick off with a look at today’s Consumer Price report just out and then move on to the markets which are again (or, is that still?) at unsustainable levels.  That is, if old-world concepts like “underlying valuations” still mean anything.  (We’re not sure they do…)

Bean up and roll time..

Despite some very positive developments politically, we still have 72-days to Inauguration. While we are hopeful that everything will go smoothly between now and then, there are still a ton of major issues – each leading off to a fork-into-Future that may not be nice.

So, in addition to our ChartPack – featuring our broad spectrum market indicator – we will put “eyes on the horizon” to see if there’s a sense of things.

Already though, we can see the resistance to the Trump win beginning to build and we think the challenge to the national change of leadership could build to high levels in coming weeks.

We’re glad we got out and voted Tuesday. But with the polls closed, and all but the law-faring, protests, and scorched earth to go, the real question is “Now what?”

We are dividing this up into piles:

• ‘Short-term prior to Jan. 20’ which could be a scorched earth period.
• The Lawmaker pile – because control in DC just shifted in the Senate.
• The International pile – which the dems may level into WW III yet, before leaving office.
• And – of course – the economics of it all which we will model in today’s ChartPack, though with the HUGE asterisk that tomorrow the Fed will be announcing rates and we will find out if dems have another slap in the wings there.

For now, the market (basis the early futures) was set to blast higher. But an outbreak of peace and prosperity (slogan of the old American Whig party in the 1800s)? Maybe not so much.

Remember, structure occurs in the grains of a sand pile just before collapse.  (Kadanoff sand pile model. Avalanche structure and wave shape – ScienceDirect).  We’re not out of the woods, yet.  And the big bag wolves are still hungry.

Don’t look now, but the comparison with 1929 is back.  So today we’re throwing a pencil at it. Because while 1929 can never happen again, runaway inflation of asset prices not only can but there’s a fair case it has been underway since summer.

Of course, a few (obligatory) headlines and the preview of the week ahead. But even here, we’ll b e playing the “Event Linkage Game” and try to figure out a “most likely path” to get to next week’s winner and loser.

Oh, and we have more action evolving on the weather front, as well, so don’t blow off today’s report…

Big doings today with the final couple of chapters of our Longevity playbook plus the new ADP jobs report just out. But, that’s not all.

There’s the usual last-minute silliness that comes with virtually all elections and there’s the usual assortment of shock-and-awe as the markets continue their levitation act.  A bit of perspective on inflation and gold while we’re at it, as well.

Second cup – and maybe a third with this one.

Don’t look now, but a dangerous story of “tits and tats” seems to be opening.  Because Israel – as expected – attacked Iran overnight. But things are far from settled.

So, in addition to a nice quiet Saturday news review and the week’s closing ChartPack, some speculation on what happens next.

Two worthy topics on tape today (besides the weekend war outlook). We do some mighty interesting (and humbling) calculations comparing the 1929 bubble (and inflation from the Great Depression) with modern times.  You talk about getting knocked down a notch!

Then we do another chapter of our Longevity book (“Tell your doctor” – but it may be retitled “This is getting old – firsthand…”).  This Subscriber’s only book is more than 50,000 words and a ton of research and personal “best practices” we’ve been following.

Before we move to the interesting stuff, though, we will pause long enough to throw a few BRICS at passing headlines…

We have a list of “life-changing, but for now still pending” events that make us a bit cranky this weekend.  No, not that we are in a hurry for WW III to break out, nor are we anxious for the wrong presidential candidate to get the nod by voters.  OK, and we don’t really want Iran to lob a nuke or Israel to “go first” into that future, either.

But sometimes, like good little air & food processors there’s not really much we can do – other than wait for the sluggish Future to get back to us.

There is other study to be done, including musing a bit in today’s ChartPack about the coming of “Citabria Markets” and the Lomcovak moments ahead.  If this doesn’t make sense, then might we suggest some remedial reading to get your head back in the cockpit?  Try this, for example.

Beans, bullets, and a big water source are sliding as priorities a bit.  While preppers up-armor, it’s time to check emotional supports, and look for rational national leadership.  All as America comes under attack by foreign drug gangs who’ve infiltrated via the Obama-Biden-Harris open border.

Which means what, exactly?  Simply that our Seven Major Physical Systems prepping paradigm has to change with the times.  It will be augmented with four important classes of “emotional support prepping” over the coming year.

All while we await the Big Wars breaking out (which could light up any minute) and while we await political pandemonium  sure to follow an election which now features racism as a sales pitch. A nod to the “Klan” party standard bearer.

In the midst of all this, we have come up with a new way of looking at financial markets that you’ll find interesting in today’s ChartPack.

The Partisan News problem is growing. It’s hard enough to figure out the Future – even when you have a good and reliable set of facts at hand.

But the evolving problem in the world now – in addition to the liberal disease of “talking-past the other party” – is that “clean sourcing” is becoming more difficult.

So we begin the weekend with some ponders of what’s ahead.

A focus on weather warfare to kick off mid week. Then another chapter of our book on longevity. Plus the ChartPack.

For now, in all of these topics, we will be sorting between conspiracy and the evidence. It’s not exactly a simple task.

A recent Peoplenomics report may have sounded a bit harsh on FEMA. But NC events are making it clear: We weren’t tough enough. Some observations and suggestions plus a sampling of reader reports kicks off the weekend.

And then we roll into the most perplexing question of all: With global war, FEMA incompetence, and no sign of a genuine “crisis ready leader” for the Oval, why are markets holding up so well?

Toss in a few war front notes – got lots of them to pick through – and it’s a report that is sure to have you muttering “Glad it’s the weekend!”

We arrive at Chapter 12 of our book on anti-aging techniques just in time for War.  Impeckerble timing, if I do say so.

Before we jump in to the problem of “rolling the clock back” there’s not only war to discuss but also the employment report – ADP is out.

And then there’s the ChartPack where to try to figure out which place on the cliff we drove off…

You’re advised to bring coffee and a good sense of humor.  Because while war is no laughing matter, politics of late – and several other topics – really have become jokes. Even though no one’s laughing, yet.
