Second Quarter 2017 S&P 500 GAAP EPS tracking at $27.47, funnily enough at the same level as 9/30/2014 when the S&P 500 closed the quarter at 1,972.29. Hard to understand why investors actually believe there is organic growth.

I can see how Igy and others might have misunderstood my reply. It wasn't formulated very well. So let me try again...

Investors believe there is growth because earnings are on the rise. They are within $0.01 of their all time high...a virtual tie. Not too shabby.

No. Investors have little concept of earnings growth or lack there of. Investors believe they do want to be left behind in a bubble stock market. Historically that has led to poor investor returns.

Ok, that's just dumb.

No it is ignorant investors like you that bid up stocks like BA and MCD that have no year over year organic growth. Spend $Billions buying back stock. Or that find some value to money losing stocks like NFLX and TSLA. Hemorraging $Billions to build their business model. You will learn soon enough.

Follows your same script. That is why you will have average investor returns.

July was shaping up to be the second-best month of the year, behind February, for the Dow and the S&P 500. With one more session to go, the DJIA is looking at a 2.25% monthly gain and the S&P 500 index at a rise of 2%. Thanks in large part to gains in technology stocks, the Nasdaq Composite Index poised to rise 3.8%, its best month since January.

In a sign of how strong the market’s uptrend has been of late, July is on track to set the fourth straight monthly gain for the S&P 500, as well as its eighth monthly increase of the past nine. (The only down month, March, ended lower by 0.04%.) Both the Dow and the Nasdaq are also set for their eighth monthly gain of the past nine months.

Jeez, how enlightening.
