While I do not like to focus on earnings (The book -the number- is a really good explanation why) since I'm a long run guy, I have to admit that as a daily market-watcher I'd love to see my favored companies post nice numbers.
I am hoping for disapointing numbers from some value giants (MSFT or WMT or MRK) to jump on the BUY occasion. Or more likely from some long shot growth stocks like TASR , EXEL or TINY, to eventually invest that 10% of my account held in cash (since the worst move ever, aka the sale of URBN for $25)
Let's wait for the one digit, two decimals number to do its magic and drive the market crazy tonight
