Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3HB81Xw

A pretty boring day in markets with the Dow up and Nasdaq down.

A lot of eyes are on what is coming next in the Middle East after the horrific murder of American lives over the weekend. Oil prices so far are not responding with any panic.

Microsoft and Google each release results after hours today. They are big companies, you may have heard.

Earnings growth of +4.9% (year-over-year) is expected this earnings season from an expectation of +2.7% y/y revenue growth. We are barely at 25% of companies having reported so far so we will do a better assessment of how this is tracking after each of the next two weeks.
