There has been, to this day, a tremendous amount of fondness expressed for Tom, particularly with respect with what he sought to teach others.Īlthough we had a peculiar relationship, I have always recognized what a giant the man was on the Slope landscape, and so when I put together my tome comprised of what I considered to be the very best writing I could offer over all these years………….Video engages people in a way that photos and text alone cannot, bringing faces, voices, personality and heart to your business. He liked what I had created, and he really liked the people it attracted. To be utterly honest, I don’t think the guy was ever too crazy about yours truly, but it hardly matters.
I think that, on the whole, Tom represented more to people on Slope than anyone else here, including myself. It’s easy to spot Tom, since he’s the one holding court, and he’s always the tallest guy in the room. Here is a small sampling of photos from some of these events (only one of which I managed to attend).

So much so that was organized a series of events – – usually in Las Vegas – – called SlopeFest, where people would fly out from all over the place just to hang out with Tom and other Slopers they had let online. In fact, 99.9% of the reason I decided to make Slope a “politics-free zone” was because I was afraid I’d look out my door one day and see this:įor a lot of people, Market Sniper was the Slope of Hope. Holland and I had our run-ins from time to time, and it was always about politics. One only need to glance around to see it here………….Īnd even on SocialTrade, where his post was always way at the top for all-time popularity. And Lord knows he contributed a lot to the site. They were drawn to him for his wisdom, his trading acumen, his gregarious nature, and his generosity. Tom was a hard-drinking, hard-smoking, gun-toting, tough hombre whereas I……………well………….let’s face it, I’m not any of those things.īut people here weren’t drawn to Tom because he seemed like a cowboy. We had different views on just about everything. In fact, we had precious little in common, except for the fact that we were both on Slope a lot. Now, I could never quite get a bead on what relationship Tom and I had. It would be MS, or Snipe, or Dutch, or some other concoction.įor me, the simplest way to describe him would be Sam Elliott. Indeed, I can’t remember anyone referring to him on the site by the name “Tom”. His screen name was “Market Sniper”, and he went by the nickname of Dutch. And then, on Sunday, he was gone.įor those of you who are newer here, allow me to explain: there was a man who has been on Slope for many years by the name of Thomas Holland. But, little by little, other folks found out, and rumors start spreading.
Not for dissemination on the Slope as we do not have a plan for dealing with this yet.
Stage 4 cancer, Went into the hospital Thursday morning. – – DutchĪnd, six years later, I got this on the 4th of April 2020, only a few weeks ago:īad news. Down to 221! So, going to do whatever I have to do to stop the “bleeding” as it were. the good news is, cholesterol is good as blood pressure. heart is so bad, candidate for a heart transplant. So, we are now on a strict regimen for controlling that. Seems my diabetes has weakened my heart substantially as well as kidney damage. TK, – Had my big meeting with the doctor’s yesterday evening and it is not good at all.
