Good Morning,
Trust that you had a nice weekend … Yes, Monday is here…
Grab your coffee and fasten your seatbelts, we have a busy week ahead….
So…
Are you fearful or greedy, right about now?
It appears that we are beginning to become more “greedy” and at a rating of 70, we should be worried …..
“buy” when everyone is fearful, and “sell” when everyone is greedy…
Is Greed Good?
Well…. Yes, when the economy Is improving…
Earnings… Earnings…. Earnings….
Investors will have a lot to digest next week with more than 100 S&P 500 companies reporting results, but the stock market is expected to remain relatively resilient with much of the potential shock from tepid earnings already priced in.
Notably, expectations for US earnings are poor (-9.3% earnings growth is expected), so any better figure, will see the US market higher………
“I think first-quarter earnings will come in better than the lowered guesstimates and am not expecting a big decline in the equity markets,” a senior analyst at a top tier bank told Market watch.
What's on today?
