Finally you say something intelligent.

Mellon,
this rally is based more on hope than reality. (Blind Igy)
The fact is investors like you. (You have no idea what me or anyone else is invested in, or investing in right now)
It's in your dreams that nobody has moved out of the market yesterday, last week,or last month. I know, doing it 3 years ago, 2 years ago, one year ago would have been a much better decision. We should have listened to you. Tell us again, we will ride it down to the bottom and then get out. That's your false hope.

Mellon,
I assume you are referring to me since that seems to be your obsession. As I have stated numerous times my first post was March 2, 2015. That day Dow and S&P 500 closed at roughly the same level as the day of the election. Since the election the Dow is up 27% and the S&P 500 23%. So your claim above is bogus. Furthermore, unless you believe something has fundamentally changed since the election of Trump, this rally is based more on hope than reality. The fact is investors like you continue to pay a higher price for a unit of earnings. That is your choice. But I will be here to remind you how very wrong you and your clones were. In the meantime, correct your meme, and pack your distortions with your bag of fundamental investing ignorance.

You are also paying that higher price.
Earnings Scorecard: For Q3 2017 (with 55% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for the quarter), 76% of S&P 500 companies have reported positive EPS surprises and 67% have reported positive sales surprises.
As predicted, earnings numbers are soaring.
GAAP beats only 58% on lowered numbers.

Only? 58% sounds pretty good to me.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the third quarter of 2017, according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

You conveniently left out of your quote the key point of lowered EPS guidance.
Same post yet again?
I think the following definition of autism fits you well.
Level 3: “Requiring Very Substantial Support”
Severe deficits in verbal and nonverbal social communication skills cause severe impairments in functioning, very limited initiation of social interactions, and minimal response to social overtures from others.
Inflexibility of behavior, extreme difficulty coping with change, or other restricted/repetitive behaviors markedly interfere with functioning in all spheres. Great distress/difficulty changing focus or action.

Are you suggesting someone with autism should not be allowed to post here?

You need to understand that "guidance" is a term used by the investment industry to mean estimates. Estimates, by nature, are fluid: as more data becomes available, estimates are refined and become more accurate.
The fact that a majority are beating these refined, and more accurate, estimates is impressive.
Not really. You are fooled by a phony market and manipulated EPS.
