Giving Back

By -

Over the many years (nearly six!) I've been writing this blog, I have received hundreds of nice emails and gifts. Today I got a particularly nice one, which I am showing here with the author's permission:

I just wanted to say thank you – for both your blog and ProphetCharts.  I have been reading the blog for about a year now (and just began posting), and have been using Prophet for nearly as long.  As soon as I started using thinkorswim I really fell in love with it.

So – I spend half my life using things that you’ve created, and given how much money I’ve made in that time, I thought I owed you a thanks, at the very least.  And a few clicks on your blog’s ads once in a while, when I’m feeling saucy.  You’ve taught me (and I’m sure thousands of others) more than I can really say, so, one more time – thanks!

I really appreciate that, and I'd like to take up the theme of gratitude. Besides the aforementioned support of Slope's sponsors, I'd like to ask Slopers, as I do from time to time, to give a little to those less fortunate. Being the sort with a soft spot in his heart for animals, I tend to suggest Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, but honestly, be the target charity oriented toward humans or animals, this is the season for sharing.

And it doesn't hurt that it's still in time for 2010 tax deductions! In any case, thanks for being part of this marvelous community, and thanks especially to those who extend a helping hand to others. See you Monday morning.
