    <title>Mark Vierra's Instablog</title>
    <description>Sometimes it's the simple basics that become cloudy in today's complex market environment. I will break down the tangled web to it's core and shed new light that will make it easier to grasp.
Often analysts become trapped in their bubbles and far too comfortable in their definitions despite the constantly evolving markets.
I am a global market commentator along with Senior Technical Analyst at www.hotstockmarket.com. I keep a regular weekly log of my own charts and analysis. 
The markets are an unending journey in learning the vast and ever changing aspects of the markets and trading.
