Hot Mess, a definition
It happens.
It's always happened.
Learn to recognize them. Get smaller when they arrive. Treat them with the respect that they deserve.
Don't be stubborn and pretend a chart isn't a hot mess, just because last year it wasn't.
There's a time and a place for everything.
Sometimes we want to focus on making money. Other times we want to focus on keeping our money.
From any sort of tactical perspective, our defense has been on the field so we've been calling more plays from our defensive playbook. That will remain the case until the market proves that's no longer a good idea.

I know things can get lost in the shuffle, so I wanted to take this time to catch you up on some of the more recent important posts:
Be sure to read: Anything Can Happen. It's a great reminder. Also, a look at major current market trends, which is Why Technical Analysis works.

Of course, the 2-to-100 Club. Are you looking for the next $100 Billion Company? We are!
And finally, corrections happen. So what? It's a normal part of market cycles. We discuss it all in, It's Happening. With Staples making new relative highs again today, these defensive trends remain in place.
So what's on your mind?
What stood out the most to you in this weekend's charting?
