these are high expectations.
fundamentally its clear that the global economy is slowing and their earnings will slow. that won't stop pump monkeys from ramping the stock after earnings however.
technically, according to my cycle theory, we still have more downside to go before this daily trading cycle is complete in the Dow. if Apple were to pop from earnings it would drag the Dow up with it invalidating the cycle. thus, i am going to stay short. i can sustain a ramp back up as i have done really well the past couple of weeks.
good luck everyone. this is indeed an important earnings report.
