"Quarterly results to watch in the week ahead include 3M, Delta, GM and Ford, Merck and Microsoft." money.cnn.com "Of the 77 members of the S&P 500 that have reported earnings so far, 93 percent have met or topped estimates, according to Thomson/First Call." I'd like to hear what MS says about the economy for this earnings report. "what Microsoft decides to do with its cash could also have a broader impact on tech stocks. If MS Softee boosts its dividend significantly, then that could be a signal that it sees itself, and other PC-focused companies, as mature. (i.e. slow growth) " "But if Microsoft announces a large share buyback program, then that could be interpreted as a sign that the company thinks its stock is a good value and that there is decent growth ahead.
