We're in the midst of earnings season, I thought this thread would be a good idea for people to share ideas on which of the dozens of stocks reporting earnings each day might be most worth following.
Today's Earning's Report Stocks Worth Playing

Like, on monday I should have bought Calls on CVS. It was way down around $22. Now it's over $25 (earnings were reported yesterday morning)
LSTR: Landstar trucking up $3.00
USAI: USA (TV) Network up $1.50
GCI: Gannet publications up $1.00

LSTR, USAI, and GCI were among today's biggest price gainers. The leader both of net price and % price gain on NYSE was another company that reported earnings today: TBL.
Timberland is not a forestry products company, but a footwear company.
SWY Safeway and PEP Pepsi both refused to provide earnings forecasts, and they both fell. Pepsi may be dropping mainly due to some ludicrous Boycotts threatened. First, some conservative groups were going to boycott Pepsi a few months ago for featuring rapper Ladacris with allegedly offensive lyrics in a commercial. Pepsi pulled the commercials as a result of the boycott threat. Now rapper groups are calling for a boycott of Pepsi in response to their recent commercials featuring Ozzy Osbourne allegedly using equally offensive language, claiming that Pepsi applies a hypocritical and probably racist double standard.
Today was a slow and indecisive day for the market, and earnings reports may have been a better play on a day like today.
Perhaps the most relevant stock to event-driven psychology that reported earnings today was HB. Hillenbrand, a provider of funeral services and producer of caskets, was up from 1%-2% today. War, huh, what is it good for. Actually, they make hospital beds as well as caskets, which is even more eery. Uncle Fester is a big shareholder in this company.

CBK down but not bad fundmentals for retail sector in these economic times...
in bear market and during months that are histoicalluy poor for stock performance... it seems like any small bad news is over-reacted to; while seemingly good news is honored with cynicsim that it won't continue, or is likely inaccurate or a half truth.
