Back on May 4th, I offered up a post with ten short ideas, one of which was Lumber Liquidators; at the time, the chart looked like this:
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.

Victory Jig
I have had not one but two themes I’ve been hitting on lately: Bullish Precious Metals/Bearish Equities. My beloved Slope Plus members have probably been losing their minds with all of my “Buy Miners” posts, which began late in May (my ideas there are up about 40-50%, generally). But on a morning like this, my ludicrous pontifications are really blossoming. It is only five in the morning here, but I just had to blow a few notes on the victory trumpet, since a one-two punch like this (metals soaring, equities plunging) is a delicious way to start the day.
Pile-Driver
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!
A Surprisingly Good Day
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. And we’re getting tantalizingly close to a crossover of the Russell 2000 that hasn’t been seen since the James Buchanan administration (or was it Milford Filmore?)
