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.

Of the 43,000 posts I’ve done on Slope over the years, one of the strangest was one I did in August 2024 in which I suggested a great “long” position was to mosey on over to your local Costco and buy as many of their silver coins as they would allow. I even called it an “odd post” when I wrote it:
My most profitable short position, in dollar terms, is META (augmented below with the face of the world’s most accidental billionaire, Alexandr Wang). I’ve hinted many times about the “inside scoop” about why I think they’re doomed, but Slopers seem totally incurious. Oh, well. I can’t talk about it in any case.
The longer I live, the more I am convinced I’m the last honest person on the planet (premium members on Slope notwithstanding). Everyone seems to be a grifter, a hustler, or a fraud. It’s nice to see, on rare occasions, these scumbags get their comeuppance, such as this woman-with-a-man’s-name who was a total liar and cheat and is going to get thrown into prison.
It’s time to do my only physical activity of the day and pat myself on the back.
Yesterday, just before the opening bell, I wrote a post called Dust to Dust in which I declared two insane things: (1) I was going to dump the entirety of my PALL position and take profits, in spite of its strength (2) I was going to defy the entire global precious metals rally and short the miners.
We’re only an hour into the new trading day, so it’s a little early to erect a statue, but the last two times I sold PALL (red arrows) the timing seems pretty decent.
I am getting an uncharacteristically late start this morning (lots of tiring work this weekend!) so I’ll simply say I am most heavily short energy, so crude oil’s weakness is ideal……..
