This should be one hell of a week when the trading resumes on Tuesday. Let hope we do not get ambushed again by any unwanted surprises Sunday January 17, 3:26 pm Eastern Time Microsoft seen posting sharp increase in earnings By Martin Wolk SEATTLE, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Software juggernaut Microsoft Corp. is expected to report strong quarterly earnings on Tuesday, following in the footsteps of its partner Intel Corp., which last week topped all estimates for the quarter. On average, analysts expect Microsoft to report earnings of 59 cents a share for its fiscal second quarter, up more than 40 percent from 42 cents reported a year earlier, according to First Call, which tracks estimates. Several analysts said they expected Microsoft to beat the consensus figure by at least a penny or two. Revenues are projected to rise 20 percent to 25 percent for the quarter to about $4.4 billion, several analysts said. Best Wishes Frank
