I think we'll see more announcements like these.
beat definitely earnings fourth further maybe negative prospects somewhere
I think we'll probably end up somewhere around negative 4 or negative 5 percent. Some will probably beat expectations, but not many. Down earnings is definitely in the cards, and the prospects of maybe even down earnings further in the fourth quarter.
market meeting move optimistic twist
I think they'll (the Fed) move at the meeting but I think the market is grasping at any straws you can twist into an optimistic story.
pain
I think there'll be more pain and suffering.
came last negative percent ton
Last year, 43 percent of the negative pre-announcements came after Jan. 1, so there will be a ton more.
peak takes weeks worse
It always takes a toll. These are the peak weeks for warnings and it's going to be worse than normal, but we probably need a little of that.
comments
I think it's going to show up in some comments. I think you will get some comments that (earnings) would have been better if it hadn't been for the euro.
comments forward positive results
I think the Q4 results will be terrible. I think comments going forward will be much more positive than they've been in the past.
results
I think that Q4 results will be terrible.
broken exclude faced indirect reluctant stuff
I think the analysts will now exclude more stuff than they would have otherwise. If I'm faced with all or none, I'm going to say all. If it's broken out, I'm going to be more reluctant to exclude the indirect costs.
bigger changing company earnings growth missed news per rate says share
If a company says it's changing its long-term growth rate by 1 percent, that should be bigger news than if it missed its quarterly earnings per share by a penny. But it's not.
earnings temper
I don't think it's going to temper earnings that much. But it isn't going to be a positive, that's for sure.
cast earnings quarter season strong
We think a pretty strong earnings season for the quarter is pretty much cast in stone.
economy obviously showing signs slowing third
There are obviously signs the economy is slowing but it's not showing up yet in earnings, and probably won't in the third quarter.
