Monday
The trading week kicks off with G-III Apparel Group (Nasdaq: GIII  ) reporting. The designer of leather outerwea, women's suits, and sportswear is expected to post a small quarterly profit, reversing a year-ago loss.

Tuesday
NCI Building Systems
(NYSE: NCS  ) , a manufacturer of metal products for the nonresidential-building industry, checks in on Tuesday. New construction is in a funk, so it won't be a surprise to see NCI post a substantial quarterly deficit.

Wednesday
Measurement Specialties
(Nasdaq: MEAS  ) , Men's Wearhouse (NYSE: MW  ) , and Pall (NYSE: PLL  ) report on Wednesday. The three companies have little in common, yet analysts see all three posting improved quarterly results.

Thursday
National Semiconductor
(NYSE: NSM  ) has been on fire this year, soaring 80% during the past five months. Now it's time to see whether the semiconductor company can live up to that run. Wall Street's banking on a profit of $0.27 a share, just short of the $0.33 it earned a year ago.

Friday
The trading week closes out with lululemon athletica (Nasdaq: LULU  ) in its quarterly state of fiscal meditation. The upscale yoga-apparel retailer has been rolling on this side of the recession, generating the kind of sales per square feet that make its mall neighbors jealous. We'll see how much of its high-end athletic wear the chain moved during the quarter, but healthy growth on strong comps is practically a given.

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?

    I'm amazed there is not more chatter about MEAS. This small outstanding company has great numbers with great management.

    Am I missing something?

    The reason NSM's stock has been on fire this year is because they're about to be bought out by Texas Instruments for $25 a share. It doesn't really matter how much they earn per share this week... $25 per share is guaranteed.
