Preface to all KYS posts: Until Tuesday (CPI) and Wednesday (FOMC) are out of the way, there’s absolutely no point in mindless speculation about the market. I’ve said all there is to say until the smoke clears. Therefore, this weekend, I am going to share some specifically-chosen videos. It is my view that most Slopers are overlooking the vast majority of content and features on the site, and I am hoping these videos and links will prod some to action. For this particular feature, the relevant link is here.
Slope of Hope Blog Posts
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.
Soft Launch MetaSymbols
Once we get it wrapped up, MetaSymbols will be strictly a Gold and Platinum feature, but for now, I’m letting everyone use it. For one thing, there are precious few symbols to use! For the time being, you can invoke a MetaSymbol with a triple dollar sign. Thus, $$$AI brings up the symbol I created for artificial intelligence companies.
MetaSymbols Portfolio
I am continuing to experiment with our exciting new MetaSymbols feature in SlopeCharts. One idea I had was – – what would it be like to construct a chart of the fourteen symbols which constitute my portfolio of puts. Well, it only took a minute to create, but here is the world premiere of this chart: looks pretty bearish, right? Just to be clear, this is an equally-weight amalgamation of all fourteen ticker symbols which have been used to create an entirely artificial instrument representing my entire portfolio.
Meta Sneak Preview
Whenever I create something new for the site, I usually like to surprise everyone and roll it out live. This time, I’m going to jump the gun a bit about something new I am creating, and I’ve got a reason for doing so. The idea came to me because of this kind of chart that I’ve been seeing a lot lately:
@ Marks the Spot!
This is a minor bug fix, but important enough to warrant a post.
As many of you know, if you want to get the attention of a person in SlopeTalk or the Classic Comments, you can just use the “@” sign and start typing their screen name, and a suggestion list will appear. Clicking on the name you want will complete the task, and you can say what you want to say.
However, in the past, it wasn’t quite working right. For instance, if I wanted to send a message to Roz, I might type @roz but Roz was nowhere to be found!
You will now find this feature works As God Intended. The community here is key, and I don’t want anything to be an obstacle to your free-flowing communications!
