Looks like our man Spock was spot-on!

The 42 That Matters
The number “42” had resonance in the financial world a month ago when Elon “I think I’ll ruin one of the world’s greatest reputations” Musk declared that Tesla was going private at $420. Multiple lawsuits and one SEC investigation later, such chatter has of course vanished. Four Two Zero is moot.
For me, the far more important figure is ONE Four Two. Specifically, the support level of bonds (How’s that for a segue?) Break it, and the world is our oyster.
Junior Gold Bears Ready to Leap?
Fables of the Reconstruction
Monday’s market wasn’t exactly a hallmark of dynamism, so I don’t have any particular these to write about. I’ll just share a couple of charts that I found intriguing.
The first is emerging markets, which has been persistently bearish all year. Just look at those lower lows: not a single violation! It seems to be approaching some form of support. A failure at that level, where the lines converge, would set us up for a new phase lower.
Roku Continues Rocking
Let’s face it, I don’t make many long suggestions on Slope, but ROKU has been an exception. This just keeps on doing what it’s supposed to do.
Today started off super-rough, but by the closing bell, everything was solid. This is quite peculiar, because the market itself didn’t change that much during the day.
I’ve become kind of Slope-obsessed lately, so you’ll continue to see improvements both on the site and on the products therein.
