Ed Butowsky, wealth manager, financial advisor, and managing partner of Chapwood Investment Management, joins CNBC The Closing Bell to discuss how important earnings reports are in times with such worries as sequestration and global slow down.
The economy has seen 9 straight quarters of growth, but the markets are getting a wakeup call as a number of companies are giving negative guidance about their first quarter profits. While earnings season starts this week major blue chip companies have already cut back their first quarter profit estimates. Is now the right time to invest in this market? Ed Butowsky, wealth manager, financial advisor, and managing partner of Chapwood Investment Management, joins Fox Business to explain the claim that right now is not the best time to invest in the stock market.

Many investors are wondering why stocks continue to move higher even as the economic picture looks weak.
To understand this, investors need to understand the thinking of professional money managers, who account for 93 percent of the volume of the stock market.
They control the ups and downs of the market that we observe every day. Currently, the consensus among money managers is that stocks are 2.5 times more attractive than bonds.
This position is based on the assumption that, by their calculation, stocks are 15 percent undervalued based on expected earnings over the next year. Bonds, on the other hand, are 20 percent overvalued.
However, if interest rates start to rise and earnings growth slows , the undervaluation of stocks could quickly reverse, and we could see a major sell-off in the stock market.
So be happy that stocks are going higher today, but keep a close eye on earnings and interest rates. They’re your friend today, but tomorrow they might be your enemy.
