Hey y’all!
Well, stocks are cooking today as inflation is cooling down and bank earnings from Q4 are coming in strong.
It’s had a tremendous impact on the market! Look at all that GREEN!
Now, I don’t want to spoil the party (the name of an underrated Beatles song, by the way), but there is at least one reason for concern this earnings season.
Take a look at this chart:
Right now, we’re seeing the options market pricing in the largest earnings reactions on record.
Meaning that the markets are expecting extremely positive earnings results.
And after today, you might be thinking, “well, so far, so good!”
After all, the markets are up and bank earnings are cooking….
If that continues, we’re probably about to break firmly out of the prolonged slump we’ve been in and head on up to new all-time highs!
But just be careful…
Because with those kinds of expectations, chances are that stocks that disappoint on earnings are going to get crushed.
And you won’t want to be in those stocks when it happens.
Earnings season is always compelling, but this time around, it seems like more is on the line than ever.
We’ll be watching it closely and keeping you up to date!
To your prosperity,
Stephen Ground
