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.

I was delighted to see the reviews tumble in to Amazon about my new book (I just peeked again after I took this screenshot, and there are ten reviews now, nine of which are five stars).
I’m not sure what my problem is, but I can’t push myself to actually read the reviews, even if they are positive. But you can, so click here to see what folks are saying. I hope you’ll consider getting my book (especially the color one, which is super gorgeous). If you like Slope, you’ll love Babble On.
I am delighted to announce the availability of a book that was a dozen years in the making: Silicon Valley Babble On. It is my 25th, and in all likelihood, the last book I’m ever going to write. I will try to describe it briefly……….and I want to ask early on, since this is a brand new book, I would be VERY grateful for any positive reviews you could leave on Amazon for others to read!
Before the financial crisis began, a community of traders was created which used charts, economic cycles, and political discourse to shape their investment decisions. This unique gathering place was named the Slope of Hope, coined after the maxim “markets climb a wall of worry and slide down a slope of hope”.
Over the course of a dozen years, Tim Knight wrote over 20,000 posts on Slope, and he has gathered up what he considers the best and most illuminating of these in Silicon Valley Babble On. Topics covered include startups and culture in the valley, the effects of the bubble and its aftermath, his own experiences building and selling high-tech businesses, lessons from the fast-paced world of equity trading, and life lessons drawn from personal experience.

I finally finished my final run-through of the last book I ever plan to write. Even though I had a bunch of Slopers do copyediting, and they found hundreds of errors – – I still managed to find another fifty that all of them missed! And, I’m quite sure, there are still errors lingering, but I think it’s just about as good as I can get it for now. I’m sick of this damned thing! Anyway………it’s coming soon.
Thanks to the generous help and support of some fellow Slopers, who spent many hours reviewing and copyediting my latest creation, I am optimistic that Silicon Valley Babble On will be available before this month is over. I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the cover and let you know it is on its way. I consider it my best work, and I eagerly look forwarding to letting you know when this book is released.
Next month, I am going to announce my latest & greatest book for sale, which I’m very proud of. One amusing thing that happened recently is that I got a proof copy from my publisher. I excitedly opened it and found…………well…………I’ll let the video show you. Today I got the replacement copy, which has some remarkable advantages over the first one.
