Caution is just not what investors want to hear this earnings season. We view the pullback as a chance to buy more shares. Management is controlling what it can, including costs, which will set it up for the next cycle. In the meantime, we're being paid to wait with the dividend, which we can lock in at roughly 3.9% with today's purchase. Shares of TJX Companies are down since peaking at $101 in March. We're stepping in to buy the pullback in this best-in-class discount retailer.
