I would hope that everyone here is well acquainted with the classic bromide about financial markets: “They climb a wall of worry and slide down a slope of hope.” The more perceptive among you figured out a while ago that the domain name for my beloved little corner of the Internet comes from that phrase.

I almost bought it, but I decided it was just a silly waste of money (similar to my purchase of knight.club which, let’s face it, is a cool URL). Anyway, I checked again this morning, and the price has dropped enough that I couldn’t resist. So, people of the world, I now own both URLs and, thus, the whole flippin’ expression!
