Monday
There's no such thing as a sleepy Monday during earnings season. Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) kicks off the busy trading week with its quarterly report. The toymaker has been a resilient star during the recession, but playtime can't last forever. Analysts foresee Hasbro delivering net income of $0.24 a share, short of the $0.26 a share it rang up a year ago.

Then again, Hasbro has been knocking the cover off the ball lately when it comes to beating Wall Street's profit targets. Let's put mortality on hold until we see what Hasbro actually earns.

Tuesday
Virtualization software speedster VMware (NYSE: VMW) and hard-drive behemoth Seagate (Nasdaq: STX) take to the earnings stage on Tuesday. We should get good news on both fronts, since the pros expect both companies to improve nicely upon their previous-year financials.

Wednesday
Pop star Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and surgical robotics specialist Intuitive Surgical (Nasdaq: ISRG) are just some of the dozens of companies checking in with their quarterly results on Wednesday. Coke's been tantalizing taste buds with carbonated pop for generations, but Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci robotic arms have been a recent addition to the operating rooms of many leading hospitals.

Thursday
E*TRADE (Nasdaq: ETFC) will be announcing its quarterly report on Thursday, and it won't involve the iconic E*TRADE talking baby. Analysts expect E*TRADE to post its 12th consecutive quarterly loss as it continues its noble pursuit of profitability.

Friday
Will the world's largest restaurant chain heat up after introducing cold smoothies to its McCafe menu? McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) reports on Friday. Its berry smoothie line was officially introduced after the quarter came to a close, but Mickey D's should still provide some beefy insight on how its McCafe premium coffee beverages are doing.

Until next week, I remain,
