Over on Peoplenomics this morning, we’re earning the subscription fee the hard way. We start with the News Compressor and four things that actually matter: Gulf energy flows, Trump-Xi and Taiwan, the newest Russia/Ukraine wrinkle, and the accelerating AI/compute race. Then there’s today’s ChartPack, because markets don’t particularly care about anybody’s political opinions when it’s … Read More

Watch the Calendar and the Blow Off? Weather, calendars, and who is craziest are keeping what little attention they deserve for the rest of the week.  Peoplenomics is where we’ll look at what could happen “with the music stops” but the market was up over 400 points Monday so it’s an article of faith that … Read More

Happy?  That’s what you have to bring to the party. Higher?  That’s what we laid out in the Peoplenomics ChartPack Saturday: First is the Moving Average Oscillator – It’s low in range and cleared for higher. And the other hint?  Look at the Bull Golem chart.  Slow bulls are where the useful arrow is – but … Read More

First, the BlinkLab run—because I need coffee before digging any deeper: News Compressor: Dawn The weekend’s biggest change is that several pressure points we were already watching have moved from threat toward action. Middle East: Saudi Arabia says it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh, with attempted strikes also reported elsewhere in the … Read More

Today’s Saturday report runs about one-tenth the length of a typical novel — and that’s before you count the 37-page ChartPack and the separate Over-the-Horizon report. Seriously. A lot of UrbanSurvival readers have never taken a Peoplenomics subscription. Fair enough. But what you’re missing isn’t simply “more George.” It’s where we have room to follow … Read More

Software Hell Again — Thanks, Microsoft (NOT!!!) There was an overnight update to MS Edge which managed to roach half the useful stuff on my computer — hid links, moved tools around, and somehow scrambled display settings that had been working perfectly well yesterday. Like we don’t have real stuff to do? When will software … Read More

Welcome to the post-Fed world. Oddly, tax rates haven’t changed yet, the air breathes about the same, and the usual aches and pains of aging still chased me out of bed. And as if life isn’t gamble enough on its face, how about this? Bet on the 85 DMA? First look at early futures, after … Read More

Energy prices. Thease are the most likely outcomes – a year-end run and new highs in 2027 OR the grim case. As should be clear: Extension of the lower red (rising) trend line is an obvious potential bounce point. OR as early as tomorrow depending on how the rest of global banking falls in. Either … Read More

Today’s Peoplenomics is one of those reports that refuses to stay inside the usual market-news box. We begin with Fed Shock Day, the Middle East energy squeeze, two fresh economic releases, and a nearly three-dozen-page ChartPack asking whether markets are setting up for a blow-off move — or something considerably less pleasant. Then we move … Read More

I have been experiencing extremely insightful and useful dreams this week.  Not for their entertainment value, but because they answer a lot of long-held ponders.  Like “What is Life all about?” While I work on distilling this down into a (small book-length) Peoplenomics report for tomorrow, there’s some real gold already starting to pan out.  … Read More

A great deal of grist to review this morning, but we will keep it short, since Mondays will fade as Ure slides into more time off this fall.  Here’s a preliminary work plan: Orientation Market preview BlinkLabNews Fed Box At the Ranch: Back to school Handwriting and aging note The Morning Sight Dow futures – … Read More

I will be keeping most of the latest details on our Over-the-Horizon software work over on the Peoplenomics side of the house. There is some very sincere research underway now, and I think we may be getting close to a useful way of separating actual forecasting from the very human tendency to recognize the future … Read More
