Hi Kemble! Let's hope for some good news! Investors will hear earnings news from bellwether companies in the PC and storage sectors this week. Hewlett-Packard and Dell Computer will represent the PC industry. Wall Street expects HP on Tuesday to post earnings of 20 cents a share for the second fiscal quarter. That compares with earnings of 17 cents during the same quarter last year, according to analysts surveyed by First Call. Dell on Thursday reports earnings for its first fiscal quarter, and analysts are looking for earnings of 16 cents a share, compared with 17 cents in the same period a year ago. On the computer data storage side, Brocade Communication Systems releases earnings Wednesday and is expected to post a profit of 6 cents for its second fiscal quarter. The maker of switches and software for storage networks made 5 cents a share during the same quarter last year. Analysts expect Network Appliance to make earnings of 4 cents a share Tuesday, versus 2 cents a share during the fourth fiscal quarter last year. The company makes networked storage systems that store files such as e-mail accounts. On Tuesday, storage devotees will have a chance to attend a conference put on by research firm IDC in San Jose, Calif. On the opposite coast and on the same day, those concerned with Internet and computer privacy issues can attend two conferences addressing the matter in the Washington, D.C., area. Some significant economic information from the government also comes out this week. Retail sales and Consumer Price Index data will hit Wall Street on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Analysts use both releases to help determine how consumer activity affects the economy. The information was gathered from First Call, Hoover's Online, CCBN's StreetEvents, MSN's Moneycentral and CNET Investor. news.com.com
