The strong results have lifted expectations that stocks could continue to rise, even after an almost unbroken climb higher throughout 2019 so far."We are now seeing more signs of solid economic growth, as well as indications that companies not only are reporting better than expected first-quarter earnings, but also are continuing to guide for modest earnings growth throughout 2019," said Kate Warne, an investment strategist at Edward Jones.
