The new trading weeks gets revved up with Avis Budget Group
There's a lot riding on Avis Budget. The car-rental specialist has been a 25-bagger for the lucky investors who snagged shares at its $0.34-per-share bottom in March. Analysts see it earning more than that in its latest quarter, and it had better not disappoint.
Ford has also had a healthy run since the market's rally began. How successful was "Cash for Clunkers" in clearing out showrooms? Wall Street expects a substantially narrower deficit here than what the automaker delivered a year ago.

The trading week closes out with only a handful of mostly small and overseas companies reporting, so feel free to head out to the local multiplex. A few of the likely big-ticket winners include The Men Who Stare at Goats, The Fourth Kind, and Disney's A Christmas Carol.
Until next week, I remain,
