Thinkstock

We are now in the heart of the second-quarter earnings reporting season, with perhaps the busiest week of the season on deck. Most of the companies in the S&P 500 will be reporting this week and will most definitely set a direction for the markets. With this season also comes high expectations, as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have risen recently to near all-time highs. This earnings season will be driven by some of the biggest companies in the United States, but they have to hit their targets first if the markets want to keep up their momentum.
