Last week we took a look at the broad market's earnings for Q1, using the S&P 500 as out proxy. Though earnings season isn't actually over yet, with 84% of the S&P 500's constituents having reported last quarter's results, where the S&P 500's per share earnings are is where they're going to be. And as a reminder, where they were...
Given the market is up nearly 15% since early November and is within easy reach of all-time highs, it would be easy to conclude all's right with the world; the media's bullish rhetoric is helping too. A closer look at … well, everything though, suggests the only reason the market is going higher is because it's going higher. That is...
