The Truth Hurts Another down week in the market. Risk management remains the priority. I admit—it can be lame. It’s much easier to run some all-time high scans and post those charts. If only it were that easy. My work starts with the market environment...

It’s About Respect I spent the week away from the markets in Mexico. The food and weather are hard to beat, but my favorite part?Stepping away from the chaos of the markets and getting a chance to reflect. Silence and solitude are rare in everyday...
