Investing 102

[GregWeld]

This week is a good "insight" into what we might be heading for.... good bad or indifferent... with these titans reporting Monday and Tuesday.

I don't buy or sell on this kind of "info".... but EARNINGS is what the stock market is all about --- and it's not so much about what they earned as it is about WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT GOING FORWARD. That is the take away you need to pay attention to. What does business look like NEXT Quarter and for the year.


Monday will start one of the two most hectic weeks of the earnings season. Marquee names due to report earnings on Monday include Texas Instruments Inc and Halliburton Co, followed by Apple Inc, DuPont, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's Corp, Verizon Communications, and Yahoo! Inc — all on Tuesday.
BoeinG, ConocoPhillips and United Technologies are set to release results on Wednesday. Thursday's earnings line-up includes 3M Co, AT&T Inc, Starbucks and Time Warner Cable Inc. On Friday, earnings are expected from Chevron Corp, Honeywell International and Procter & Gamble Co.
