Rising Slope Puns

At least until we knock off another zero. Better yet, 2 zeroes. It's not a matter of "if," it's a matter of "when." The more we hold, the sooner it'll happen.

It started of really strong but it became kinda boring.

Sure, they give workers a lot of perks such as removing the commute and being able to work from home, but what I never liked about them is how they blur the lines between being "at work" and off the clock...Recently I have seen job postings that advertise positions as being able to log in whenever you want and complete your work. I also notice that a lot of them seem to be directed towards students so that they can work it into their schedule around their classes. It's like they are trying to grab students by the balls knowing that they need both money and flexibility and that the alternative such as working at a Starbucks wouldn't give them such a level of flexibility so they will be less likely to complain and/or quit.

Also, for those who have finished school, it's no secret that people are working multiple jobs just to pay back student loans and I wonder if this trend will eventually lead to people working 2 jobs from home now that they don't have to waste time commuting....Flexibility is great, but if this becomes the norm, how are we supposed to break the toxic societal expectation of having to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet?

I'm learning about LTP at the moment, and it's often measured by comparing the rising slope of the fEPSP of a population of hippocampal neurons before and after high frequency stimulation. Does anyone know what that slope is actually representing in electrophysiological/biophysiological terms?

Disclaimer: I am, in fact, a moron. This is not financial advice and I am in no way telling you what to do with your money. Also, I am sorry this is a long read, but later I will essentially make the case why everything since mid January is completely useless from a TA point of view.

Math term that everyone needs to be familiar with --> Logarithmic Scale (log scale):

In simple terms, a log scale will make the " visual distance" between two numbers equal, no matter how large the numbers are. That is to say, the distance on the vertical axis between 1 and 10 will be the same as 10 and 100. Why is this useful and why do I use it for my TA? Because a stock worth $1000 gaining or losing 1% changed $10, while a $10 stock changed $0.1. Log scale helps and is most useful visualize trends that span a wide range of numbers, like GME since 2020.

With that out of the way let us get straight to the point. I haven't been putting much weight on TA, for a few reasons, but the most important one is that I don't see how applicable it is in the case of GME, with the working assumption that the price is manipulated by those with the intent of bankrupting the company. However, manipulation is at odds with reality, and the manipulators bet on reality favoring them in the end, that is to say that people will trade as they want them to trade.

A bull run started in autumn 2020, 5 months after having the price near $2.5. At this point, the 2020 weekly volume goes from a [6 million, 37 million] (low, high) range to [25 million, 75 million], and on log scale this growth is nicely linear. This all climaxed in the January 2021 sneeze, seeing a whopping 545 million shares traded in one week. I believe this initial growth, pre-sneeze, represents GameStop's increasing value, on the basis of Ryan Cohen's entrepreneurship bringing some promise of a turnaround and also their gaming sector seeing trends that GameStop could easily take advantage of (new console generation, Covid restrictions gradually being liften, etc). What the sneeze was exactly is not completely clear, but I think it's safe to FOMO + very limited short positions being closed + fuckery. I think it is also safe to say that the stock got a little ahead of the fundamental reality of GameStop, just like how shorts seek the same in the other direction. Since then, the price went from $450 to $40 to $120 to $350 to $120 to $200 to $150 to $350 to $160 and so on and so on.

Before we get into all the graphs an

I’ve been studying calculus since three years now and I still can’t internalize the basic concept of it. I understand how tan= opposite side by adjacent side. I understand that slope equal to rise/run but howw?? Can someone explain the intuition behind it?
