S&P 500 shows strong earnings with 43 of 48 firms beating estimates; buybacks to rise soon, making it a top buy.

The index's forward price-to-earnings ratio is under 19, making it one of the cheapest in recent times. Despite some short-term volatility, the broad market strength beyond big tech suggests good buying opportunities ahead.
