Not long ago, I introduced the Discussion Forum to Slope, but I did so with all kinds of caveats about how it was temporary and just an experiment. Well, after some tinkering, I’ve decided it’s perfectly good and ready to stay right where it is. Of course, it’s pretty thin on content, so I’ll be periodically poking and prodding folks to add their own articles, charts, and remarks in there so that it builds out over time. But, hey, we started at zero comments, too, and now we’ve got over three million of them!

(more…)Commodity Resistance
I would like to suggest that commodities have peaked, at least for the medium-term. Take note of where we are on the Fibonacci retracement.
GME Isn’t the Only Way to Lose
With the earnings season winding down, there aren’t many sexy stocks left for the /wsb crowd, but one meme stock that announced rather later in the cycle was Palantir (symbol PLTR). Over the weekend, the “traders” were flexing by putting in two hundred thousand dollar and three hundred thousand dollar bets, which in some cases represented most of the net worth of the given party.
