Then why did NT not trade higher today? If LU earnings are any indication Nt should close 4-5 points higher tomorrow.

If the earnings were as good as they were why was the stock trading so poorly for weeks, months?? I got to believe somebody must have known the earnings were coming in good! I'm sure a lot of investors sold off and are pissed off now, at least for the moment! Making money on stocks involves more than the companies fundamentals! LU should have been trading much stronger for at least a week before the earnings! If the earnings had been bad others would have been accusing the "market" of knowing the bad results before hand and that's why the stock dropped. Instead the company beat estimates and so the "market" must have known about the good results and shaken out the weak investors on purpose. JMO....Worry about the fundamentals, the rest is just noise. Slacker

Howie, imo, just follow what Mr. Fun says and enjoy the ride (at your own risk, of course). Wishing you well, dc
