Who writes that stuff <g> And what I'm really wondering is... how the heck do they know?? <vbg> They have one of those elusive crystal balls I'll bet. ""Companies aren't missing their numbers anymore. The news isn't getting any worse and, in fact, it's actually starting to improve." Well of course they aren't missing them, and we all know exactly why. The game is on. I also find it very scary that it seems like their idea of economic recovery is good numbers at the mall this Christmas?? Well I was there today. The one department store I went into was crowded...but I never saw so many 40% to 50% sale signs in my life. With extra 10% off coupons on any item too... They are given the stuff away, just like all the auto dealers. New winter merchandise, too. Not last season's leftovers have these markdowns. The huge percentage sale signs everywhere are a sign of desperation. And I guess the market will be trading off of retail sales numbers for months to come. Scary. Oh yeah and everyone is predicting a huge rally if Bin Laden is captured...just like they predicted them for all the rate cuts. I think that's a huge part of why the market has been so strong, and that it's factored in. They talk nonstop about the market looking 6 months ahead and trading on that, well if that's the case, he's dead already! So it could be a huge sell on the news after a short lived pop... Especially since the market has been so news driven. Without all the news, reality may set in.

HP, actually missed by ~50% 7:20 ET Hewlett-Packard (HWP) 20.23: -- Update -- Posts Q4 net of $0.19 a share (excluding items), which on first glance would appear to be a full $0.10 above the Multex consensus. A more reliable indicator of the quarter's strength is revenue, which came in at $10.9 bln, well above the $10.3 bln consensus. (Excluding items, company posted GAAP earnings of $0.05 a share. HEY! that's 50% below expectations, all bad news is Good?<g> we are in rally! I guess i forgot that };^D Message 16654743
