Offsetting yesterday's losses, Dow futures are pointing to a 1% gain for stocks at the open--this in the context of an essentially range bound market for the last month that's more inclined to look for a reason to break higher.

Go back a few years, and Kohl's had a problem. It wasn't winning over any new shoppers. Its customers were growing older, but revenues were at a standstill. And the company was lagging far behind Amazon (and other competitors like Target) in the e-commerce wars. Fast forward to today: Kohl's just reported two consecutive years of positive sales growth, its largest increase since 2010. Earnings are better than Wall Street expected, and stock price is rising. How did Kohl's do it? 1 move stands out above the rest: Kohl's decided to partner with Amazon. Since October of 2017, Kohl's started a radical initiative: It began accepting free returns of Amazon products. That means that customers can walk into select Kohl's store and return something they bought on Amazon, even without the original packaging and box. Kohl's then uses its own resources to package the product and its logistics infrastructure to ship it back to Amazon. This was a brilliant move.

Here are 6 questions to help you achieve behavioral change (after you say or do something you later regret): 1. Why did I react the way I did? 2. Did my reaction help me or harm me? 3. How does this situation fit into the big picture? That is, how will I feel about it in hour? A week? A year? 4. What may I have misunderstood or be getting wrong, especially in the heat of the moment? 5. What would I change if I could do it again? 6. What could I say to myself next time that would help me think more clearly? There's no microwave method to success. The key is not to skip through these questions quickly, rather, to take your time, ponder, and develop an action plan.
