This is the first installment.

Right Question. Wrong Time. Bad Indication.

Posted on May 3, 2010 | 4 comments

In my line of work I out a lot of fires.  For many many years, I was on call 7 by 24.  7 days a week.  I took my laptop with me to the beach for 9 days when I got married.  My daughter was 14 days old when we went to the hospital with her; I was on the phone with a client during her stay.

Pino knows crisis.

May 3, 2010: Chance of Recession in the Next 12 Months — 00.055%

Posted on May 3, 2010 | 1 comment

Nothing has changed in one month.  The New York Fed continues to report the chance of Recession at 0.055%.  Looking good heading into summer.

As a note, the NBER usually reports that a recession has ended about 20 months after that recession ended.  I have been saying the “current” recession ended in the end of May, 2009.  20 months after May 2009 is January 2011.  Some folks think I’m early, which means NBER won’t report until AFTER February 2011.  We have a bit of a wait.

Chance of Recession May, 2011

The State of the State of Arizona

Posted on April 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

Arizona has really shook up the dialogue in America right now.  They are ground zero not only in the crossing of immigrants from South America into North America, but they are now ground zero for the solution.  I’m not sure if Arizona was honestly trying to protect herself or if Arizona passed this law in an effort to set fire under America.  Either way, the effect is the same.  America has noticed.

We Must ALL Sacrifice! Except Me

Posted on April 28, 2010 | Leave a comment

Very few people exemplify the Left better than the Kennedy’s.  Never has a family been so involved with what is good for other people while excluding themselves from having to sacrifice.
