A very pleasant Thanksgiving today indeed - tomorrow (Friday) is going to be the frenetic one for me, so I'll actually be a lot less present on Slope Friday than I was on Thanksgiving itself. I'll do a brief post in the morning, but expect Slope to be very un-post-y on Friday. See you for what ...

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. This is Gary with my first published commentary from 2004 reproduced below. The reason I am posting it (assuming TK doesn't mind publishing a 5+ year old piece) is because everything still looks applicable today -- only on STEROIDS. ...

On this Thanksgiving morning, I was surprised to see the /ES plunging. What on earth could be happening? Are there reports of contaminated Stove Top stuffing? Then I read the news about Dubai defaulting . I guess green shoots don't grow so well in the desert. It saves me some writing on this ...

Hi fellow Slopers! My name is Mark and I post over at BostonWealth . A little about myself since this is my first post here. I was an equipment maintenance technician for a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Austin Texas for 20 years. I watched the US industry die a slow death as ...

Got engaged in some follow-up on the Jamie Dimon post I made last night both in and off the comments section with those seeking additional explanation. So thought I would elaborate both to clear up any confusion as well as to allow an opportunity to post this neat video I found a few ...

The rest of today and almost certainly Friday are snoozers, so things are very, very quiet here. Anyway, here's another chart I find compelling. I shorted it today.

The debasing of our nation's currency continues relentlessly. The EUR/USD has busted above resistance, and the attempts to break support (tinted in blue) have consistently failed. Things look grim for the buck.

I am super short right now, and with Tuesday's price action I thought it might be a good idea to get a long position just in case we get a ramp-job Wednesday. I went through a list of some stocks and picked out CROX. My thinking is like this, we are hitting the bottom of my red sai and we have ...

By most measures and indicators the upward move of the past few months is getting a bit tired prompting many to start exercising caution and others to start piling on shorts both as insurance and as a means to profit from either the "healthy market-positive pullback" or "second-phase tsunami ...

If you want to see what a difference a technological sea-change can make, look at the charts of Netflix (NFLX) and Blockbuster (BBI). Netflix is up about 620% whereas Blockbuster is down about 96% from its peak. As with most other things, it all seems so obvious in retrospect. Who would want ...

Hi, it's Gary again with another quick companion tag-along to a post by TK . Regarding his one caveat about SKF's inverted H&S, the financials etf XLF tells us not to be too concerned as it sports a lower right shoulder of its own, which is bearish. Also important is the slope of the neck ...

A thoughtful reader sent me this information about yet another attempt to create a transaction tax on trading. The stomach-turning title of this bill is Let Wall Street Pay for the Restoration of Main Street Act of 2009 Errr, if you want "Wall Street" to pay for the follies of the ...

In my attempt about a month ago to try to find something I could actually take on as a long position without holding my nose, I came across DIG, which seemed to have completed a decent basing pattern. The ETF never took off, however, and I think the technical damage to this is so bad at this ...

If you want some insight into the Obama policy, take a look at this fascinating analysis of the percentage of time the cabinet members of various administrations have spent in the private sector. Obama's cabinet has the lowest percentage on record. They are, by and large, lifelong bureaucrats. ...

Look at the charts for CCI, AMT, SBAC. They all formed a very similar bar yesterday. I like the fact that the whole group showed the same formations, which is a key signal to me and I believe a short term pull back is on its way. Now I'm not saying its a trend change and I will be reversing my ...
