Well folks, earnings season is here and the banks will kick off the festivities Tuesday morning.
We’ll get numbers from J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Delta Airlines on Tuesday. Then on Thursday, Domino’s and Netflix will report. This week should be a hoot.
Last quarter it felt like every company pulled guidance. You’d think this time around we’ll get some forward looking statements. 🤷♂️
Here’s the weekly chart.
| S&P 500 | 3,185 | +1.76% |
| Nasdaq | 10,617 | +4.01% |
| Russell 2000 | 1,422 | -0.64% |
| Dow Jones | 26,075 | +0.96% |

Let’s take a big picture shot and look at relative performance over time before we get into all the details as the week unfolds.

5 Year Performance
S&P 500 Bank Industry +2%
