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.

Sweet Jesus on a pita biscuit………..I just saw World Wrestling Entertainment (the purveyor of high culture in these here United States). This has out-tulip’d the tulips……….
Not that I hadn’t done three snarky posts aimed directly at these clowns earlier this year……..
W00t!
Dow up triple digits! Green indexes everywhere! A huge end-of-day rally! And I was entirely short!
Did it hurt? Nope. Sure, my profits weren’t as big as they were earlier in the day, but I still wound up with a nice profit. There’s a lot of rot going on beneath the surface, my friends.

The really smart guys who do financial predictions cleverly use a lot of words to ensure that they will be able to claim success in the future. In flowery language, they describe How Things Could Go Up or How Things Could Go Down, and one or the other will happen, and it’s time for the trophy.
Since I’m not that sharp, I actually take a position, and in the aforementioned post, I gave extremely specific values and corresponding dates I thought were forthcoming. I’m not going to share the “meat” of the post, but I will share a scribbling I did of the Russell 2000 (I remind you, this was done nearly two months ago):
Time does fly when we are having fun! It is that time of year again for Slopers to head out to Sin City, USA, aka, Las Vegas for fun, good company, trader talk, and other festivities! Slopefest VI is scheduled for the weekend of June 14th. Take the time to relax and match faces with avatars, meet new friends and renew old friendships as well! During past Slopefests, great times were had by all and this time it will be NO different in that respect. Here is the scheduled itinerary: (more…)
