Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2011 13:50 -0400

Chartology

From Goldman's David Kostin: "Positive revenue surprises averaged 2% and helped drive the strong earnings season to-date with 28% of S&P 500 stocks now having reported 1Q results. Earnings surprises have averaged 11% and analysts have lifted their EPS estimates for all four quarters. Energy company revisions are the key reason. Bottom-up full-year 2011 EPS estimate now stands at almost $99, above our $96 topdown forecast. Earnings season continues next week with 178 firms representing 34% of S&P 500 market cap set to report 1Q results."

thoughts on gold vs. silver? I"m pretty much holding 50% each, with a little more gold than silver. Sell during the summer for silver, keep holding that gold.

If they fix the numbers like my company does (by delaying the credit notes to customers and preinvoicing future contract orders) most will be just on expectations.

But what history always proves is that the next Q will be a bitch.

Remember: most companies had price increase from 10 to 15% this year.

Don't forget to subtract that from the numbers because it are cost related increases.

Most US companies report in dollars, and the dollar is shrinking, so profit in US Dollars goes up for foreign income. Anyone know the average corporate tax rate paid this year versus last. That was always a good trick

Silver to 50 by wednesday?

Fri, 04/22/2011 - 15:04 | 1197035 Long-John-Silver

Perhaps sooner than that. Try buying physical for less than $50.

Psyche, try down to 45 by the end of this week. selling over the weekend was your best bet.

I can't wait for Wednesday's rate decision and subsequent press conference. I love watching people lie.

Energy and girls clothing/accessories are the only thing leading this market. I ran a scan of the banking stocks and quite honestly was shocked at the big break downs I saw. Not major banks per se. The XLF chart looks like shit so it looks like Ben knows the only other big sector be can push with QE is energy which looks just like the silver chart
If energy tanks the market could have a brain fart. Just saying

It really says a lot when Ben can't even move financials as a sector. Shit must be worse than he planned

Isn,t it wonderful when financial investment houses, large banks and corporations can perform financial accounting mark to fantacy. We can make any company look good.

Isn't it wonderful when the FED pumps billions into the US stock markets through the POMO.
