I’m doing this from a parking lot, so it’s going to be brief.

I’ve noticed a variety of (vastly inferior) chartists have been pushing the notion that “the mother of all trendlines has been broken.” WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. It has NOT. These nitwits can’t draw a line to save their lives. Anyway, take it from your permabear buddy, no one WANTS this line broken more than me, but it ain’t broken yet. If anything, bulls should be arguing for a major bottom here. I assure you, if it actually does break, I will NOT shut up about it.

SlopeCharts & Mobile Get Married!

By -

It’s time for some really exciting news, and it’s been a very long time coming. Plainly stated, SlopeCharts no longer sucks on mobile. In fact, its terrific! Allow me to explain………..

The Slope of Hope is in its 19th year, and through most of those years, a huge portion of the site’s visitors were in mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones, and Android products. I will be the first to admit I’ve done a lousy job attending to mobile users. Slope was created as a desktop computer experience, and with the exception of the creation of Slope’s mobile apps a few years ago, I’ve been quite negligent in making Slope a good mobile experience.

Well, I’m glad to say this is no longer the case. I’ve made the time and cash investment into improving SlopeCharts on mobile so that even the likes of myself, who tends to be very desktop-bound, actually enjoys using the product on my iPad. Here are some specific improvements we’ve made to using SlopeCharts on mobile devices, and I welcome your emails if there are any other important improvements that you would like to see.
