Big Beautiful Breakdown
I realize I won’t shut up about this, but I want to say very clearly that the reason energy is the biggest element of my portfolio is because I believe crude oil is headed much lower. OK, maybe I’ve made my point and can leave the topic be.

One BBB has replaced another. The Big Beautiful Bill has curb-stomped Build Back Better, and in doing so, solar credits have been laid waste. Here’s a look at the carnage.
The Empty Pen
When I first created SlopeCharts years ago, I decided the foundation of the product would be clear, easy-to-manage, highly organized watch lists. Some might say this is a manifestation of an anal-retentive and control freak personality, whereas others might be less charitable.
In any event, by way of these watch lists, I keep my Bear Pen of shorting opportunities, and that list has 25 components. When I set it to show Unique Symbols, it displays the “leftovers” of symbols in the Bear Pen which are not also in my Tim Shorts list. That is to say, it reveals what opportunities I am considering that have not become trades yet.
Right now, for the first time I can remember, the number is zero meaning that I have deployed every single symbol I even consider worthy of being shorted.
