The market is roughly 20% above where it was 1 year ago. So, what’s all the whining about?

Earnings Scorecard: For Q4 2017 (with 68% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for the quarter), 74% of S&P 500 companies have reported positive EPS surprises and 79% have reported positive sales surprises. If 79% is the final number for the quarter, it will mark the highest percentage since FactSet began tracking this metric in Q3 2008.
Is that so? Please explain how the GAAP EPS is down to $26.74, the lowest of 2017, and $1 less than quarter ending 9/30/2014.
Oh, the miracle of fake-ness, non-GAAP EPS.

My narrative?
I don’t know who Bob Pisani is, but I’m sure he’s better than Tyler Durden.
Yes your narrative, Bob Pisani is your god, you pray to the alter of index funds. Bob is the maestro of “there is never a time not to buy stocks.” You need to have a personal relationship with Bob. He will take you to the promised land of milk and money.

You answered your own question...fake-ness. You are using made up numbers, while I have presented ACTUAL numbers.

Gray hair and experience counts a lot. That is why I was doing nothing the day with the 1,600 point down swing. The ultimate freak out is not even close yet.

That’s actually pretty funny coming from you.
I am glad you found it funny. That is the first sign you can beat the disease.?

What week are you referring to?
Since 1/31, so a little over a week.

You said a week. That’s not a week.
OK, Mr. Persnickety, 2/2 thrum 2/8.
And it’s still not 11%.
Cough it up, what is the number? Don’t choke on it!
