YOY earnings means nothing to traders because the stock market is looking forward. YOY earnings could plummet yet the stock still rises due to future expectations of higher earnings. How does one determine the future expected earnings? Analyst estimates are a good place to start. If you...

Nothing in this life is free...including socialized healthcare. Where are you getting this strange idea that it will be free?

Great analogy. I like it.

Indeed. I am absolutely baffled at how earnings are so much higher than expectations.

Canadian - and yes, good and cheap. Mind you I've never had any major health problems.

I understand that in the USA, healthcare is currently not a right. The question is, <i>should</i> it be? If someone is dieing, should it not be their right to have their government try to keep them alive? Or should healthcare simply be limited to those who are privelaged enough to have the...

Haven't you heard? This recession is going to cause the world to blow up! Any good news that comes out is obviously lies and manipulation! LOL @ stock_trad3r comment.

Green shoots was so last quarter. Red shoots occur just as frequently as green shoots nowadays. Let's put that term to bed once and for all.

How did hell did the analysts get it THIS wrong?! Reported $0.28/share vs. expected $0.04/share???? Earnings are one big crap shoot right now. Analysts should not be paid a dime to do the work they do...

Good point. Unfortunately we aren't in a period of high inflation.

Maddoff didn't even believe this performance.

Possible, but if the market decides that GS and INTC earnings are a catalyst for markets to charge higher, you could get burned. I would personally find a less risky short out there.

Wait for it.... ...... ...... I sense a politcal right vs. left flame war brewing in this thread!

Guys like this Motley Fool piss me right off. What a terrible idea. Does nobody understand the importance of liquidity?! Credibility for Motley Fool has just been lowered yet again.

I would be careful shorting INTC. Margins are higher and are expected to increase. Great news from INTC; a blowout quarter. The only reason I see to short is if you don't believe their optimistic forecast. I personally am not willing to bet against Intel. Short at your own risk.
