Monday
The markets are closed for Presidents Day. Rest up, because we're in the middle of earnings season. In other words, the next four trading days will be loaded.
Tuesday
In a busy day, Wal-Mart
You'll have to wait until Tuesday for those answers, but it's encouraging that companies like HP and Crocs have beaten analyst profit targets for several quarters in a row now. I'm bullish there.
Wednesday
Wall Street will turn to Garmin
Thursday
The9
Things haven't been going too well for The9 lately. Analysts see earnings per share falling by more than 50% for the quarter.
Friday
It's time to work up a sweat heading into the weekend with Life Time Fitness
Life Time has pulled off a dozen consecutive quarters of posting results that bested expectations. That's quite the workout, but let's wait to see how the company is holding up, now that the economy is a little bleaker and gym dues may be harder to come by.
Until next week, I remain,
Rick Munarriz
