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.

There is a SlopeCharts feature which has been in the works for months which I’m very pleased to finally introduce: Grid Charts. I have decided, for now at least, to give access to this feature to everyone, including free Sloper accounts.
Grid charts allow you to display a given financial instrument not just once but two, three, or four times. The charts will be stacked on top of each other vertically, and you can zoom and and interact with each pane independently.

Did you feel that? The earth is rumbling. I can feel it beneath my feet. Over the past couple weeks, gold saw a significant breakout.

Looking at the long term twenty year chart, we can notice a couple takeaways. First, the bull market in gold at the beginning of the century lasted from 2001-2011.

SlopeCharts continues to get farther and farther ahead of everyone else, including my (now-deceased) former creation, ProphetCharts, which evidently Ameritrade finally took out behind the barn and shot. (Actually, a Sloper just told me some folks can still get to it, but Ameritrade has said it’s gone for good next month).
We introduced Time Perspective charts only a few days ago. Now we have doubled down on this excellence with a new button, Date Analysis, which you will see at the top of SlopeCharts when you are in Time Perspective mode (as a reminder, this is a premium service, so if you’re not a subscriber yet, there’s no time like the present, especially since I’m about to increase prices on July 1st).
