Munger: Buffett’s Wingman & The Art Of Stock Picking
Simon had Garfunkel, Batman had Robin, Hall had Oates, Dr. Evil had Mini Me, Sonny had Cher, and Malone had Stockton. In the investing world, Buffett has Munger. Charlie Munger is one of the most successful and famous wingmen of all-time – evidenced by Berkshire Hathaway Corporation’s (BRK-A, BRK-B) outperformance of the S&P 500 index by […]
Gold: Bearish But With Risk Of Correction
Gold: The commodity closed lower the past week but it looks to trigger corrective recovery. On the downside, support comes in at the 1,200.00 level where a break will turn attention to the 1,190.00 level. Further down, a cut through here will open the door for a move lower towards the 1,180.00 level. Below here […]
The Ides Of March – Gold At $14,463 And Silver At $669
In the Roman calendar, the Ides of March was the same as March 15th in today’s calendar. This date was not significant until Julius Caesar was assassinated on 15 March 44BC. Shakespeare then coined the phrase “Beware of the Ides of March” in his Julius Caesar work. So will March 15, 2017 be significant. We […]
ETF Watchlist: Week Of March 13
All eyes turn to the Federal Reserve this week as Janet Yellen and company meet on Tuesday and Wednesday for their quarterly meeting. A rate hike, which was considered more likely than not recently, has become a virtual lock with the blowout jobs report released on Friday. The question now becomes how many rate hikes […]

The Euro And The Pending Bounce
While Europe is certainly not turning bullish, what we do see is a bounce due to the fundamental focus of the US debt ceiling battle looming on the horizon. Naturally, the press will be blaming Trump so we should be prepared for headlines like “US Going To Default”. The press will use this incident […]
Small Gains On Accumulation
Markets finished the week with an accumulation day on Friday, with bulls coming in at 20-day MAs for the S&P and Nasdaq. The Russell 2000 also dug in, although buyers worked with no clear support level, but Friday’s finish may offer an opportunity for a swing low to develop if there is some upside on […]
Staying Private: A Contrary Push Or A Weakening Pull?
The number of public companies listed on U.S. exchanges peaked in 1996. Due to mergers on the one hand and de-listings on the other, factors far offsetting new initial public offerings, this number has fallen drastically since then, to less than half of its peak. Part of the reason for this reduction is that […]
Pre- Market Week ETF Look
There’s quite clearly a diversity of opinion here on Slope, as SB’s post pointing to bullish times ahead is somewhat different than my all-hell-is-about-to-break-loose view. Time will tell. On the latter, I offer these ETF charts…DIA First is the Dow 30 DIA which, if nothing else, is quite a distance from its main supporting trendline. Last week saw some […]
