Q1 Earnings Season Is… Not as Great as Expected

It could have been worse, though it should have been better.  That is, the broad market's earnings in the first quarter of 2017 (as measured by the S&P 500's results) haven't rolled in quite as high as expected for the first quarter, but they're a lot better than the year-ago bottom line. With 63.6% of the S&P 500's constituents having...

Weekly Market Outlook – Big Gain, But No Follow-Through

Last week got started with a bang… the bulls shoved stocks higher at Monday's open following the results from the first round of France's Presidential election, and news that Donald Trump's proposed tax plan would soon be unveiled.

Telecom Rebounds, Healthcare Rekindled, Tech Keeps on Truckin’

Things have changed for stocks since a couple of weeks ago…. mostly for the better. Some of the groups that had fizzled out have since rekindled. On the flipside, a couple have flamed out, with one of them doing so in a spectacularly disappointing fashion.
