Monday
The trading week kicks off with Sysco (NYSE: SYY  ) bringing its latest quarterly financials to the table. The country's leading food-service company supplies restaurants, schools, and other institutions with the edibles and essentials they need. Given the pole position in its niche, Sysco is a decent bellwether for gauging consumer dining patterns.

Tuesday
Buffalo Wild Wings
(Nasdaq: BWLD  ) , Disney (NYSE: DIS  ) , and Illumina (Nasdaq: ILMN  ) are some of the companies stepping up to the earnings stage on a busy Tuesday. The three companies don't have a lot in common, unless you happen to be listening to Miley Cyrus while you dig into some savory chicken wings between rounds of analyzing the human genome.

However, analysts see all three companies posting higher quarterly results on Tuesday than they did a year earlier.

Wednesday
MakeMyTrip
(Nasdaq: MMYT  ) checks in on Wednesday. India's leading travel portal rocketed as an IPO last year, but the stock has drifted lower now that the buzz has died down over India's growth potential in cyberspace. Wednesday's report is likely to get the shares moving in one direction or the other.

Thursday
Sprint Nextel
(NYSE: S  ) reports on Thursday. Wall Street is banking on a slightly narrower deficit.

What's it like to be a major wireless carrier not carrying the iPhone? That question is bound to come up during Sprint's conference call, since this is also the same day that Verizon Wireless becomes the second carrier to begin offering the iconic smartphone.

Friday
The week's final trading day finds Total (NYSE: TOT  ) providing a total snapshot of the petroleum giant's fiscal year.

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?
