S&P 500 hits record high on strong economy, earnings bets | Reuters

The S&P 500 broke a record high on Monday it held for more than a year, as a string of upbeat economic data alongside low bond yields continued to funnel investors into U.S. equities.

Led by gains in sectors seen thriving in an expanding economy, the benchmark .SPX touched a record intraday high of 2,143.16 points to overtake the previous high of 2,134.72, hit on May 20, 2015.

The big drag on earnings was energy company's and all the other company's that do business with them.

Hopefully the higher oil prices help earnings across many sectors as they see more business from the energy sector

Looks like we made HISTORY here. The correction we just emerged from (May 2015 to now) is the longest one in history.

This why thinking you are going to time things and buy on dips rarely works. I bet most missed it. After the first 500 points in 2 days they likely decided to wait for the roll back only it never came

I didn't miss this last dip, for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Guess that was my day.

You can thank the Fed for the inflated asset prices....in fact I question what more the Fed wants to see to justify a rate increase?? The Fed has accomplished it's goal of raising asset prices so now how do they step away....I'll be keeping an eye on real earnings minus buybacks & cap ex reductions.
