ProShares' Hyman: Earnings will keep powering market past headlines

Simeon Hyman, global investment strategist at ProShares , says that we have "had the most stunning earnings season in pretty much anybody's recollection," exceeding expectations and making it that the market is more focused on the earnings story than anything else, including bad news about war, inflation and more. He sees that trend continuing, even if inflation rises or stays sticky, until or unless it bumps into a recession, which he sees as unlikely. Hyman also discusses ProShares' new ETF based on the S&P 500 Buyback Aristocrats Index , and how that fund and a sister dividend aristocrats fund can be used to add consistency to a portfolio for investors who fear the bad news. He also discusses why he is overweighting small-cap now, seeing it returning to its historic role of providing above-average market returns. Rachel Perez discusses Choice Mutual's 7th annual Funeral Preferences Survey , which found that nearly one in five Americans have no financial plan whatsoever for their funeral, leaving family or friends to shoulder the burden, which averages in the $8,000 range but which can easily be double or triple that cost. In the Market Call, Wayne Thorp, chief executive officer at BetterInvesting — which is part of the National Association of Investors — brings the well-developed principles of the group's Stock Selection Guide to look for high-quality growth companies that can be held for the long term.
