OPTIONSMART MORNING UPDATE: Swung higher amid strong earnings   

1. OUTLOOK:  Broad-based buying on the back of better-than-expected earnings sent the market higher. However, the earnings growth has been largely driven by cost-cutting. This fact raised concerns about what the second-half economic growth is going to look like. After hours, Microsoft reported weaker earnings that topped estimates and weaker revenue that missed estimates. The tech leader said its results were due to weakness in the global PC markets. Amazon fell nearly 7% in after-hours trading following the report. Sales grew 14%, but came in slightly under forecast. It looks like positive news are already priced in. QQQQ's implied volatility inched higher  as investors were getting nervous. The market looked for a reason to retreat.
