Okay, folks, the moment of truth has arrived. Earnings season kicks off this week with a parade of banks reporting, and President Trump signing ‘Phase One’ of the U.S. - China Trade Deal.

The message of the year, however, is that it’s clear Technology and Communication services will keep rocking. The reason why is that we are entering a world that needs unlimited cloud, faster data rates, and unlimited computer chips. Case in point: the all-electric plane on the drawing board at Rolls-Royce.
