However, companies are notorious for down-playing expectations just to blow past them with actual results. Over the past 10 years, actual earnings reported by S&P 500 companies have exceeded estimated earnings by 6.5% on average. If reported earnings exceed current expectations by a similar margin again, this would mark the fifth straight quarter of year-over-year earnings growth above 10%. That would be welcome news to a stock market that hasn't had anything to look at for months beyond the Ukrain/Russia conflict and interest rate forecasting from the Fed.

Another great tool to have is trekking poles which will help strengthen your steps, maintain balance, help with hand swelling, and other advantages. There are a few cons, so check out this article.
