Not Ready to Change Styles

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on June 10th, 2022

When I was his age, preparing for marriage filled a lot of my time. Harry Styles, however, is on a much different trajectory than I was then.  His musical career started in 2010 when he showed up on the British music competition series The X Factor.   Eventually, he was teamed up with One Direction, one of the best-selling boy bands in history.

Economic Slap

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on March 31st, 2022

“Slap” seems to be an early contender for 2022’s theme of the year.  Even the most casual reader of news knows of the slap heard around the world at this year’s Academy Awards.  Atlas doesn’t condone violence, but one must acknowledge it left one of the most impressive comedians in the modern era relatively speechless.  A consummate professional, Chr

Logjams II

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on November 27th, 2021

Rivers are useful metaphors to use when thinking about an economy.  Don’t take my word for it.  Alan Greenspan, the former Chair of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), used the figure of speech in these remarks to the National Association of Home Builders in early 1995, address

Sequence

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on November 27th, 2021

It’s not very often Atlas gets to reference a BuzzFeed.com article in our morning note, but we’ll take advantage of today’s opportunity.  Sequels are often not as good as the original.  Take this list which tallies 21 of the worst movies sequels in movie sequel history.  That’s

Concrete Answers

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on November 4th, 2021

Chemistry is a subject I should have taken more seriously.  I have one class in the eleventh grade under my belt.  Now that chemistry is making its way into more economic subjects as the globe fights off a pandemic and climate change, it might need to be added to Atlas’ knowledge set.   Last Friday we published this note on sand, and now we have another which tangentia

Bringing Sand to the Beach

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on October 28th, 2021

Supplying beaches with sand is ill-advised.  For one thing, it is really tough to get out of the car’s carpet.  And have you seen gas prices?  At these levels, the last thing you need is extra weight forcing you to use more petrol as you motor toward the water.  But these are strange times.  We’re still emerging from the pandemic-related economic shutdown wh

It’s Not Easy Being Green

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on October 28th, 2021

Kermit the Frog told us decades ago that it wasn’t easy being green.  We’re only now starting to understand.  Coal is thought to have first been used for heat in Northern China 4,000 years ago.  This special rock could burn like a log, providing warmth in a cold part of the globe and likely the first time humans used fossil fuel.  Fast forward through various ind

Sweet Cola 2022

Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on August 20th, 2021

Some of the best laid plans develop crimps.  Take the Kinks and their song Lola for instance.  They recorded the song in 1970 (it became one of their most famous songs) but needed to re-record it in order to get airplay on the United Kingdom’s BBC.  You see, broadcasting is different in the UK.  The nat
