Ronald Hill Upside Quotations

Earnings actually have been very good in the second quarter. Sixty percent of the companies reporting so far have been upside surprises. That's not quite as aggressive at this point as the first quarter reports were, but still a very good performance in a weak quarter.

There's still plenty of liquidity. Earnings have been spectacular, over two-thirds of the companies reporting so far in the S&P 500 have had upside surprises, ... Remember, strong growth gives you strong earnings. And the key thing is that inflation is still somewhere over the horizon.

The key thing is to remember there's a good cushion of money underlying the market, we're still seeing good flows into mutual funds and there's ample liquidity out there. Remember, we're coming up on earnings reporting season and we expect that to be a pretty good reporting season once again with lots of upside surprises.

These are companies that, through cost cutting, can continue to deliver upside surprises, ... Even if they don't get a lot of pricing help. Which I don't think they're going to get.
