We've had a lot of downward earnings revisions the last 5 weeks. This table shows how the sum of the EPS estimates for the next 8 qrts compares to what they were estimating 2 weeks ago & 1 month ago. Notice the better performers tend to be the ones with positive earnings revisions (or the least negative). That's the way it's supposed to be right?

Brent up $0.15 as of late 6am ET. SLB lost less than 1% - no new weakness. But CXIPY lost more than 3% with new weakness in European trading. OT - Teddy, your gird pal called you a little prick. Now what are you going to do about it? Now, you overgrown boy aside, what would today's 14 year old do in situation like this? Ron - how do you calculate SUM EPS?
