I watch the ripples change their sizeBut never leave the stream of warm impermanence andSo the days float through my eyesBut still the days seem the same… “Changes” David Bowie (track 1 “Hunky Dory” 1972) David Bowie is one of my favorite artists, not only for his music, but as an exemplar in his self-determination…

You hear the maxim “Patience is a virtue.” bandied about endlessly. However, when it comes to both trading (i.e., Wall Street) and technical analysis, this is one of those areas that many fall to the whims of their emotions rather, than the discipline to stick with their analysis. Or said differently… They become impatient (trust…

So here we are on this Monday, which is the start for possibly the most important week for resolution as to whether this observation I’ve been updating (prior start here) moves into any fruition. Or, the Federal Reserve proves, once again, its omnipotence in all things concerning money, markets and politics. Below is the latest…

Our first foray into video (with much more to come) is a discussion with one of my favorite colleagues in this space, Charles Hugh Smith. We discuss a wide range of topics that are pertinent to today’s circumstances. It’s posted here as well as (the show’s regular access window.) Feel free to share. Here’s a…

Here we are on this Monday morning before the U.S. cash “markets” open for what will be a busy week of earnings reporting for one of the most important sectors to the economy: banks. All I can say when looking at the recent movements over the last two weeks is stated in the headline: Interesting….

I decided with six weeks now under my belt regarding the show it was time to reconfigure more towards my original intent for relaunch. Although I’m still quite confident many of the discussions and subject matter have been far more informative than any others, barring none. What they (the shows) have been at times is…

The latest in what I’m watching series (prior can be seen here) is today’s S&P 500™ via the e-minis at around 8:00am ET here on Thursday. It speaks for itself. Again, as I’ve said many times prior “Until something breaks or breaks out, the machines are running a very disciplined game.” To wit: But for…

Here in the U.S. we are about to celebrate what many of us consider the most important national holiday on the calendar: July 4th. It is the most important for one singular reason… Without what transpired via that fateful event: nothing, which far too many take for granted, not only doesn’t happen, but rather, may…

This is just a note to clarify something I said on today’s show. After saying “There’s not even a place to sign up to subscribe on the website.” I was informed later that we actually were getting subscribers and have been since the show resumed. This was clearly news too me. Subsequently I have asked…

As I’ve been pointing out as of late (prior observation here) I present the following with a new annotation. To wit: To reiterate what I noted in that prior observation: I’m watching these machinations to the exclusion of nearly everything else. The real issue one should take away from all of this is the following……

In a World Gone Mad – Sanity Becomes the Madness The world as we know it can be a chaotic and confusing place. In a world where up seems down and left seems right, it’s often difficult to maintain a sense of sanity. However, as we navigate the turbulent waters of life, it’s important to…

For those not fully understanding some of the inferences and examples I’ve been laying out this week on the show. I present the following example using a brand new article from my colleague Charles Hugh Smith. First, his article. To wit: Doom-Loop I: “Bringing Demand Forward” Will No Longer Save Us The US economy has…
