Normally, I provide the Slope “Fed Spread” (explained in deep detail here) only to my beloved Gold and Platinum members each Thursday afternoon. Today I’m going to open up the kimono and make this a public post, partly because I feel bad there’s so much premium content lately, and also to tantalize you with the fact that the Fed Spread is going to get WAYYYYYYYY more interesting following the debt ceiling compromise, and I, for one, plan to hang on to every morsel of data slavishly throughout this summer as my principal source of guidance.

You might want to, ya know, sacrifice a latte or two each month and send Slope your money instead. I daresay it might pay for itself a gazillion times over. Up to you, of course. You and your sense of decency. So let’s move on.
