Sloper Pictures Needed for Video!
Years ago, I put together a simple little video of some Slopers. Well, times have changed, and the video is sadly, badly out of date. Most of the Slopers shown are gone (with the notable exception of Iggy!), and none of the “regulars” here on modern Slope appear. So it’s time to change that.
BDI gave me this idea by his unexpected posting of his own photos. So here’s what I want you to do – – just upload images via the comments section (this saves me the bother of you emailing them to me). I’ll put them together in a video. Those who put up pictures in the last post, please respect my laziness and post ’em again here.

Here’s the (outdated) video, by the way, which is kind of fun to watch in any case. I look forward to your submissions!

Systematic Sloper Says…….
Over the weekend, I received a wonderful note from a Sloper. This gentleman is a very systematic thinker, since he sent an email in a format no one else ever has: a well-constructued outline of thoughts.

If you can’t quite read it, click on the image below to see it in all its well-organized glory. (more…)
A Pirate’s Life For Me

Personally, I think its a sign of capitulation, and more importantly, a mark of a market reversal. But that is not here nor there. I want to write about what its like to trade as a Pirate. (more…)
