High Profile Earnings

At some point this market will run out of gas. Then again, it could further be juiced up by some important numbers after the bell by companies like Microsoft (MSFT) where 46c a share is expected. Oddly enough, I am long in MSFT, the company that I love to hate. On the chip end of things KLA Tencor (KLAC) and Broadcom (BRCM) are posting as well. I am short in BRCM. Before the bell Friday, AT, BKC, CVH, CVX, CMI, GT, IR, ITT, KSE, NOV, GAS, SPG and WMI all report their numbers.
