Monday
The brand-new trading weeks kicks off with aluminum giant Alcoa (NYSE: AA  ) and Apollo Group (Nasdaq: APOL  ) reporting.

Only Alcoa is expected to post improving results. Apollo has been challenged along with the rest of the for-profit post-secondary educators over student-loan repayment rates. 

Tuesday
SUPERVALU (NYSE: SVU  ) hits the register on Tuesday. Supermarkets apparently aren't the all-weather sector that investors think, since the Minnesota-based grocer is targeted to post a 30% decline in quarterly profitability.

Wednesday
CLARCOR (NYSE: CLC  ) slips through on Wednesday with its fiscal-fourth-quarter report. Wall Street feels that the filtration specialist will earn $0.56 a share, just ahead of the $0.49 it posted in closing out fiscal 2009.

Thursday
Intel (Nasdaq: INTC  ) and Shuffle Master (Nasdaq: SHFL  ) chip in on Thursday with their latest financials. Intel is the world's leading maker of microprocessors. Shuffle Master makes automatic card shufflers and other casino equipment.

Friday
The week closes out with JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM  ) reporting. The financial-services giant is expected to post a profit of $0.98 a share, comfortably ahead of the $0.74 it earned a year earlier. Slowly but surely, the banking industry is clawing its way from the bailout muck.

Until next week, I remain,

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!
