I've added a new page to the site – YouTube Favorites – something to get you in the mood for a new trading week. Shun the non-believers!
Let me know if I've missed any Slope classics.

YouTube Favorites
An important part of the delicate cultural fabric which makes up Slope of Hope is the pastiche of peculiar videos that are posted here. Their only uniform property is that they are all, to some degree, disturbing.
Pickle Surprise – what is it?
Cock of the Walk – when respect for the morbidly obese was even lower than today.
Strawberry Shortcut – a companion recipe to Pickle Surprise.
Christian Clown – I’d love to show you part two, but it seems to have disappeared.
Chocolate Rain – raise your neighborhood insurance rates.
Japanese/English – be warned, NSFW.
Charlie the Unicorn – the original and the only of the series worth watching.
Farting Preacher – even Jesus will not be able to forgive him.
And, of course, an entire array of Don Hertzfeldt animation…..
Finally – MST3K Shorts
Employment H&S
Since I'll apply technical analysis to just about anything, I thought I'd share this:
So my "target" for civilian employment would be 57%, around the levels of the early 1980s recession.
Sunday Symbols
Here are files of my long ideas and short ideas for the week ahead. Go nuts.
The Continuing Cover Curse
It's actually getting a little amazing to watch what's going on in the popular media. I got the latest issue of Time magazine in the mail, and check out the back cover………
Ummmmmmmm……..don't miss the bounce? Like buying DTG at $20.60 per share?
Folks, even if there's more upside from here, the "bounce" already happened! Gobbling up anything with a ticker symbol in mid-March has turned out to be brilliant for anyone who managed to do so (and who hung on until now). Stocks moving up multiple hundreds of percent – or even quadruple-digits of percent – are commonplace. I mean, hell, Ford – – makers of the Taurus! – – is up 800%!
But the notion that the common man can take advantage of some impending bounce is just pathetic. But, more important for us, as we look back on this a year from now, we'll see how it was yet another case of (…..dramatic pause.…..) the curse of the cover. <—echo-y voice.
