Slope Of Hope with Tim Knight

Email Graphics Now Work!

On the right column of the blog, you'll see a place called "Email Notification" where you can enter your address and, each morning, get all the Slope posts for the past 24 hours.

Plenty of people have signed up for this, but until now, all the graphics came through as broken images. A lot of people have written me about this, and I wasn't able to help them. Until now!

You will find it works properly now. Those of you who get this were probably surprised that your Slope email this morning didn't have a bunch of "broken image Xs" in it. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know - - plus use this opportunity to start the comment meter at zero again.

Assets Hole

Surprise!

What a difference two days makes, eh? To all the bulls who bid up the market from January 23 to January 28th - - thanks ever so much! I'll do a post this evening........things finally fell in place today.

The Slope of Slope

Just one hour to the trading week left, and I think this will be my last post for a while..........it's been a frenetic morning. And you can take that to the (bad) bank!

I had thought for a while Slope's traffic was dying away, but I guess the holidays just distracted people from the important task of hanging out on SOH. Traffic is growing again. The Slope Army will continue to grow and save humanity! Or at least share a few good ideas among its members.

I'll do a post tonight, God willing. I hope you had a profitable day!

Buying XLU Puts in Quantity

Wheeeeee!

Shorted 30 /ES at 837, covered at 823. Dumb luck. Little more. FLAT on the /ES now and probably should just leave it be.

Chance............Trading is a Lot Like This

Long ES For Now

I covered my ES shorts at 830 and went long at 834.75. This trade probably won't last past the day - - but at least I wanted to start comments fresh..........I haven't read comments since last night, and about 1,000+ comments have happened since then, so that's probably a lost cause. Please don't bother asking me questions in the comments section. There is virtually no chance I will answer them, mainly because I don't have the time.

The Really Big Picture

OK, Mr. Mix. Put Ideas (3 of 3)

OK, at this point I'd better start my creative juices flowing again; this filler material doesn't cut it :-)
