He pointed to growing earnings and a strong technical environment created by significant investments in stock through 401(k) plans and share buybacks. Other strategists echoed this optimism, raising year-end targets for the S&P 500 due to resilience in the economy and positive earnings growth, despite concern over rising US debt levels in the future.
