The Stock Market: What… 

Worried about your stock portfolio? Here are some facts from Mitch Zacks (by way of JS) that may ease your concerns:

* S&P 500 earnings have been going up while the index has been falling. That means the P/E ratio on the US stock market has moved lower. (That’s a good thing. It means stocks have gotten cheaper relative to corporate earnings.)

* Most analysts expect the US economy and US corporations to grow in 2022. At Zacks Investment Management, the expectation is 7%.

* And since corporate earnings and revenue track GDP growth, Zacks also expect corporations to have a good year.
