April Jobs Report Doesn’t Mean Anything, But Here’s A Closer Look Anyway
3 years ago

I appreciate the report, but respectably disagree that the employment report doesn't mean anything as the title states. The takeaway from the BLS figures is the fact states need to open up their economies quickly. The fear narrative has zapped consumer confidence and unnecessarily in my view. Nonetheless, time is of the essence in getting people back to work.

If Earnings Matter, Equity Valuation Looks Attractive
4 years ago

The 9.7% does seem like a sharp reversal lower, but the YOY comparison in 2019 back to 2018 is going to difficult to to the larger 2018 result, i.e., 'base effects'. Also, the 9ish percent growth rate is near where earnings estimates stood in December 2017, prior to the tax cut benefits. Certainly, if reinvestment translates to higher sales, earnings growth could be quite a bit higher than the 9.7% anticipated at this point in time.

Thanks for the comment Zev.
