Re-Thinking Earnings

I've been racking my brain for several weeks now attempting to rationalize market strength in the face of a deteriorating earnings trend.  Last week really hurt although I am persoanlly not in a net short position.  Nevertheless, I've got to realize an error in my model that I think I now understand.  I decided to modify my earnings outlook to exclude any company that would be influenced in a major way by fluctuations in commodity prices.  I routinely do this when I am actually making purchase decisions for my portfolios.  The industries eliminated were Agriculture, Mining, Fertilizer and (the big one) Energy.  When I exclude these companies, I get a different and more positive picture of expectations for 2015 and I think this may be what the market is focusing on in order to exhibit strength.  And it makes sense - the economy may not be affected much (or even affected positively) by commodity price changes.  To incorporate this idea I have changed one of my earnings expectation indicators to reflect this modified S & P earnings trend.  Things have not necessarily turned very bullish but my model is no longer short.
