I put together this potent little graphic a few days ago.

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. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.

Take it from someone with a few businesses under his belt, this chart speaks the truth. Starting a business in the U.S. is a cinch. Keeping it alive for a decade is difficult. And, hey, Slope turns two decades old in March. What percentage of financial websites (ahem – Baby Bear!) founded in early 2005 are still around today? Not many!

I refuse to do ay victory lap – – or even take a victory step – – until after the conference call, but the good news is that at least NVDA isn’t up 73% right now. On the contrary, it’s on the soft side………

Looking at this chart, I have to wonder what kind of “product” D.C. is making in such abundance. Legal fees?
