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. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
Slope has so many features, I manage to forget some of the very coolest pages. During earnings season, the Graphic Earnings and Volatility Page (exclusively for our awesome Platinum members) is a beauty, particularly since you can choose to see the Highest Volatility stocks for any week.
There is no improvement to SlopeCharts that has been more requested than this one, and after literally years, I finally got around to making it happen: specifically, what we’ve done is make moving averages “smart” so that as you change granularities (daily to weekly to monthly or what have you) them the moving average will change itself to conform to your new granularity. This sounds really obscure, but trust me, people have been howling for this!
Here is the change to the dialog box we’ve made:
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.
(more…)Just in time for earnings season, I wanted to let you know about an important improvement in the Reactions Graph page, which is an exclusive feature for Slope’s awesome Platinum subscribers.
What the reaction page does is, making use of our extremely high quality (and very expensive) data from Wall Street Horizon, we gather up all the reactions to earnings events that have ever taken place for any particular stock. What we’ve added is a new button called Stats.
One of my favorite features says it all…………
