Ed Yardeni has good news on Federal Reserve taper day: The stock melt-up will continue in earnest thanks to the earnings firepower of Corporate America.

The president of Yardeni Research Inc. says a profit boom will power the S&P 500 to 4,800 by the end of the year -- an upside of 3.6% versus the Tuesday close -- and to 5,200 by the end of 2022.
