Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

There has been such focus on trying to understand how shallow or deep the upcoming correction might be, I thought I’d jump into the fray of prognostications.
The whipsaws that are occurring on a daily basis in the indexes is more reminiscent of a top formation rather than a normal, mild correction. Time will tell of course, but we can look to the charts to see how far of a fall we can expect if there is a draw down ahead. (more…)
It has been a little while since I’ve done a post here, but the returns in the model portfolio have been steadily rising. We are now up 8.4% since February.
With gold finally waking up over the last couple of days, I thought it was high time that we checked on the how GDX was doing technically. Specifically, I wanted to figure out what the chances were for further downside movement, or whether GDX had formed a bottom and it was time to jump in. (more…)
Since Tim talked about precious metals, specifically the kooky idea of going long them, I thought I would do a follow-up to the volume hole entry SLV made a few days ago. My expectation at the time was for further declines, possibly down to $17.50. Well, Mrs. Market promptly slapped me upside the head with today’s surge across everything precious of the metal sort. I was stung enough to return to the chart and see what near-term outlook presented itself. (more…)
This post may draw the ire of precious metals trumpeters on Slope (ahem – “Kooks” – editor), but silver looks exceedingly vulnerable to me here, at least in the intermediate term. It has already slipped off the small volume pole that was holding it around $22.50 and is now solidly in a volume hole. I don’t see much stopping SLV from getting down below $20, at which point it will find a home in the $17.50-18.50 range for a bit. If it slides off that pole too, we will hear a collective liquid metal scream.
What would give me pause is that SLV is well into oversold territory on the 5-day RSI and also on the 14-day RSI. There is little to stop this from getting down to $17.50-19.80, however.
Hello fellow Slopers! I have been a longish-time lurker (about 4 years now) and was recently anointed by Knight Tim to contribute by writing articles. Since this is virgin territory for me on SoH, please be kind, gentle Slopers.
I have been playing SQNM for a quite a while and published some fundamental analysis here here and played its earnings here here for a nice meal. Now I’m going back to the same trough to pick up some more scraps. (more…)
