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.

Many years ago – – 2008, in fact, when Slope was a mere three years old – – I showed a chart with the cover of the book Richistan on it. It was a book that was published almost to the millisecond of the housing bubble top.
During the summer of 2018, I was nauseated to see the launch of the wildly popular movie Crazy Rich Asians, which had the same money-as-pornography zeitgeist to it. I’ll just let this chart speak for itself:
I have two pieces of interesting news I’d like to share, both of them relating to books.
First of all, I have dramatically chopped the price of my most recent book, Silicon Valley Babble On. I have reduced the price of the color version from $79.95 to $59.95 (25%) and I’ve chopped down the black and white version from $39.95 to $19.95 (50%).
I’ve basically cut my royalty to the absolute bone in order to sell more books, because I want people to read it. I think it’s good stuff, and I’d rather have more readers than a little more cash in the bank. Here is the link to the color version, and here is the link to the black and white version.
The other item I wanted to mention is that I’m working on a book about SlopeCharts. I’ll have a very rough cut of it soon, and I want people who are willing to READ it, MARK any errors or suggestions, and then mail it back to me.
I initially was going to ask people to pay a few bucks to help with the cost, but you’re doing me the favor, so I won’t ask for a penny. If you can make a commitment to doing this, and you are a user or at least a person interested in SlopeCharts, please email me with your mailing address. Thank you! (more…)
So this bald putz Jack Welch has always held himself out at some kind of management genius. Given the disaster that GE has become, it’s fascinating to see when his books were bestsellers and what happened afterward. “Straight From the Gut” – – give me a break, chrome-dome.
It was nice to see a write-up about my newest book in the latest issue of Technical Analysis magazine. You can click here to learn more about it.
I was delighted to see the reviews tumble in to Amazon about my new book (I just peeked again after I took this screenshot, and there are ten reviews now, nine of which are five stars).
I’m not sure what my problem is, but I can’t push myself to actually read the reviews, even if they are positive. But you can, so click here to see what folks are saying. I hope you’ll consider getting my book (especially the color one, which is super gorgeous). If you like Slope, you’ll love Babble On.
