Stocks Up As Earnings Season Kicks Into Gear

Stocks ended mostly higher yesterday as earnings season kicks into gear.

So far, earnings season is off to a strong start.

But we'll get more than twice as many companies reporting earnings this week (961). Then another 1,279 next week. And another 1,437 the week after that.

If they're as good as last week, we should see stocks make a series a new all-time highs.

Since stocks typically go up during earnings season, it's easy to see why there's so much excitement around this one.

Especially given the backdrop of the strong economy, historic employment, record corporate profits, and the likelihood of the Fed cutting rates next week.

As I've been saying, these are historic times for the economy and the market.

So make sure you're taking full advantage of it.

See you tomorrow,

Kevin Matras
