I can find usually something useful in their commentaries...

A random example of a useful nugget, I like this recent chart from Mr Hussman (despite his hair). A great one-glance illustration of the recent US profitability expansion.

Real corporate value added has continued more or less along the same old long run trend, as have real sales, but real earnings have represented a varying fraction of those two. Net profits have risen faster than sales or GVA lately as interest and taxes have become smaller relative to the value-added pie. This rise in net margins is mostly because interest rates and tax rates have simply been lower--that's the only gap between the red and blue lines on the graph.
