<p>Big time hack…</p>
<p>Let’s see how his etf has done…</p>

<p>The big banks…should be smaller…</p>

<p>"What can we afford to do about the financial industry?</p>
<p>Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase would have us believe that regulators’ attempts to clip the wings of financial companies are about as misguided as trying to curb spam by shutting down the Internet. To most Americans, a financial crisis that lopped $19.2 trillion off household wealth and produced the deepest recession since the 1930s may be reason enough to limit what financial institutions can do. Andrew G. Haldane, executive director for financial stability at the Bank of England, estimates that the crisis wiped out one to 3.5 years’ worth of the world’s economic output, in present value."</p>
<p>Hmmmmmm…</p>
<p>Wasn’t the DJIA down 190 today?</p>
<p>Maybe it was my imagination…</p>
<p>HP beats estimates, up 12% AH, warns for next quarter, cuts 27K employees. Enterprise is slowing and they think that IT is slowing. It appears that HP has a big mismatch between what their consulting people know and what the market is looking for. Apparently Infosys and IBM are doing a much better job in this area.</p>
<p>Why did the market reverse today?</p>
<p>Let’s see down almost 200 then rallies to even with no discernible news…hmmm…retail is never coming back…the money on the sidelines, which every puppet guru is waiting for to push the market foward,is not comng back…</p>
<p>It rallied because of BS associated with Europe</p>
<p>Imagine if we only had to worry about our problems,lol…</p>
<p>If we had only our problems to worry about, the market would be much higher.</p>
<p>Our problems are not insignificant - they’ve just been moved off the radar screen because there are bigger problems. When is the next employment report?</p>
<p>I doubt the market would be higher… We have our own set of problems, that are not quite as severe as Europe’s , but severe non the less</p>
<p>Its always the first Friday of the month</p>
<p>The market would be higher because the s&p earnings are at record levels. There are and always will be problems. Europe and the fear of contagion from europe and a slowing world economy are why the market is lower.</p>
<p>Two of my partners bought HP before earnings…so they are smiling.</p>
<p>I hate playing earnings…</p>
<p>I think the rally was pretty amazing …that is two times recently we bounced off from the same area…</p>
<p>And gold did too…</p>
<p>I am glad I didn’t sell anything down there…</p>
<p>ADP report is May 31
Unemployment is June 1.</p>

<p>What happens when you take AAPL out of the S&P earnings? In Q1, you’d have no growth.</p>
<p>BC, how dare you point that out. ;)</p>
<p>The game has become rigged, and people are coming to that fact…beat the number by a penny, stock goes up…lay people off, stock goes up…as i mentioned in a thread awhile ago, the beat the number game is fixed…Most companies have areas where they can get the pennies to beat or match,regardless…those that miss really are in trouble. ;)</p>
<p>I own a lot of AAPL - so those are MY earnings!</p>
<p>:)…</p>
<p>So much for stops…:)</p>
<p>They aren’t long too much HP. Just a trade. One guy is short Pandora…so it averages out…</p>
<p>I don’t know why investors care so much about a penny.</p>
