Cards will be dealt quickly in the week that lies ahead. Let's take a closer look.
Monday
For those with vivid memories of the dot-com bubble, waiting for a lucrative earnings report from CMGI
With its original glitz mostly gone, the company now relies on its e-business and fulfillment services to bring home the bacon. That may translate into slower growth, but it's also proved to be a more predictable -- and more profitable -- route. The company has been in the black for two straight quarters and should keep the earnings streak alive on Monday.
Tuesday

It's been a few years since Wal-Mart
Wednesday

Thursday

Friday
