Good MorningEquity markets started the weak on stable footing but could not post substantial gains on Monday.

The consensus target for Q1 earnings is below -6.0% and it could be worse by the end of the season. The details that will more the market are the guidance and outlook for the 2nd half of the year, if those take another hit this market will move one step closer to another major sell-off.
