Be Gentle with Me
I have been writing this blog for over five years, and although I didn't plan for it to work out this way, the simple truth is that the comments section has become the heart and soul of this community. My little missives might help get conversation going, but Slopers have created their own momentum, and I want to foster and promote that as much as possible.
Having said that, I am pleased (and a little nervous) to be introducing a new comment system of my own design. Why am I doing this? There are many reasons, and over the course of time, those will become more clear. Suffice it to say that I want to do everything I can to keep the comments section lively.
Now I know there are some "costs" to doing this. Requiring people to take a few moments to set up their name and avatar is the least of my worries. I recognize there are some features that people are going to miss right away, although most of the basic features are certainly intact. Please be patient with me as I add these back; in the end, you are going to have a much, much better comments system than before.
For those not as acquainted with the culture of the comments section, please read this overview. I choose the weekend to launch this system so we'd have a little time to address any serious issues. I thank you in advance for any patience that may be required, and you have my pledge that it's going to be worth it.
Ahem.

Introducing the Slope Wiki
A few weeks ago, I mentioned I was putting together a Wiki for the blog. Well, it's up and running.
I thought I'd get a flood of people volunteering to help contribute to it, but only a couple of fellows did, and they've added a couple of articles each. I've done the majority of the articles, and there still aren't too many of them.
The idea is to help preserve and record the culture of this insane asylum we've created. Take a look, and make suggestions in the comments section about other topics you'd like me to address. If you're interested in contributing, drop me an email; I'd love to have more content!

I posted this chart last night…but it was a bit different…Spring
Jack mentioned "Very striking resemblance between the 66 – 82 period and
now, but you'd expect that to an extent as that was a secular bear
market following a major leverage-fueled market top"The
question is..Are we running out of fuel?

I have been long the Aussie $ Dollar since about the 0.83 level. I have
raised my stop on this bad boy and locked in some profits, but when I
took a closer look at the chart today I noticed something very
interesting!!!! Take a peek at the AUD chart below.

Holding GDX calls into Monday. I'm seeing an IH&S – got in near the
bottom of the up-trending channel waiting to see if it holds – will take
some off at 51.54 and wait for target area on chart for 2nd half. Have a good weekend everyone.
