So.
Spring is here, vaccines are aplenty, growth is booming and the S&P just clocked its best 12-month return in history.
Lots of reasons to feel good here.

BUT.
The game is changing.
We& #39;re going from a low expectations, high growth environment to a high expectations, (probably) high growth environment.

I mean, look at this.
S&P 500 earnings beat estimates by 10 percentage points or more the last three quarters.
