Most of you know of my affection for the late Norm MacDonald. I stumbled upon this clip over the weekend and laughed hysterically, even after listening to it multiple times. I know almost nothing about country songs, and like everyone else, The Gambler is about the only Kenny Rogers song I know. In spite of these deficiencies, it didn’t make this conversation any less hilarious. Enjoy………..seriously.

Dialing Up the Censorship
Forget the charts. Forget the market. Set aside the P & L. Let’s talk about censorship.
In my experience as the proprietor of this little corner of the web, I have found there are about three levels of push-back that I receive.
The first, rarest level is from Slopers themselves. This is an extremely liberal (in the classic sense) and tolerant bunch. It’s a pretty free-wheeling place here on Slope. As such, if there is ever a time when I get scolded by folks here, I know I’ve seriously crossed the line.
I actually think it’s only happened once, which is when I – – heaven help me – – urinated on a giant poster of Janet Yellen and posted the video. For some peculiar reason, a few people found this in bad taste, and I quickly deleted the post. In the nearly 17 years of Slope’s existence, I think that’s the only time that I’ve censored myself, after I realized that, OK, yeah, I guess there ARE limits. (Hey, it could have been worse.)

Happy to Help!
In my usual self-deprecating style, I pointed out that my scurrying to a 33% cash position and scaling back 50% of my IYR position surely presaged a hard tumble in the market. Well, not quite, but still, the ES and RTY are down double digits and the NQ is down triple digits so……….yer welcome.
