This is a feature I wish I had thought of years ago, since it is incredibly obvious, but – – oh, well. In any case, I’m pleased to tell you we have introduced polls into Slope, and anyone can use them.

They are built right into the comments system. To create one, click on the Poll radio button, and you will be given fields to enter your question and at least two answers. You can add more answers if you like, and the topic can be on anything – – what the market is going to do, what sports team you think is going to win a championship, and so forth. As always, just keep it civil and decent.

This won’t mean much to most of you, but to a few of you, it’ll be cool news – – for a while, our historical data has been surprisingly limited. The NASDAQ ETF (symbol QQQ) is a great example. Until yesterday, it only went back a decade. You will now find that our equities go back WAY farther now (QQQ is shown below, with its entire history since it was invented). Just sayin’!
