Finally I'm here to thank you... What more could I ask for than beauty, health and wisdom? Look what I found...sounds funny now! Two short months ago...unbelievable, isn't it? Message 15207918 EYE of the HURRICANE...... Earnings will only get worse. We were do for this bounce, and I don't expect it to end, until we hit at least 3400-3500, but probably around 3700, which was my target I stated last year, before tax day. We will more than likely sell-off right before the fed meeting and then after. BUT, the dips will be bought, because earnings will be out of the way for the short-term. The California energy crisis is slowly, but surely sinking it's teeth into pockets of several companies based there, like SUNW. They shut down operations today because of the power situation. Miller Brewing's plant shut down too, and laid off 200 employees. Their shipping beer from TX to cope with the shut down. This will have impact earnings going forward IMO. Also, IMO earnings will slowly deteriorate as the year moves forward. Investors have to remember, that these earning's reports are based on REvised lowered earnings. Therefore, more speed bumps will be encountered as we move forward to future earnings. We must not forget the amount of FUTURE lay-offs announced over the past 2 months. Those lay-offs are in the works, and will create an unemployment number that will shock the majority within 6 months. With that in mind, and earning's growth slowing, we are simply resting in the eye of hurricane, that will be a safe haven for the 1st quarter.
