coach d,
You need to start your own hedge fund. Perhaps "cd capital," lower case of course.

Wait,
I read the article and I was plain as day in my point. You sir are the blind one.

John,
Apple, let me explain, is one of 500 stocks in the index, yet has a weighting in the index of 2.845%. In the growth index there may be 250 components and Apple based on it's size (publicly traded shares x stock prices) is 5.61%.

I get that, but Apple does not affect the market defined as the companies that comprise the S&P. The index number may go down because of Apple, but that doesn't mean the rest of the S&P companies did poorly.
John,
Agreed. Apple was the market leader from 2011 thru 2014 and therefore it is representative of the growth period of this cycle.

Being blind I guess is one explanation for me not seeing in that article what you claim is there. Then again...
Wait,
Here is the data from the source Howard Silverblatt at the S&P. Non-GAAP (operating) is what was quoted in the article, GAAP ( as reported) was half as much.

Believe what you wish, but you might want to read the Stockman article I posted on the previous page.
There is a reason the market has struggled and closed today at the same level as November 2014.

According to your link, 72.37% beat estimates.
Oops.
Link,
Yes, how could I be so blind.

Blind to the 35% who missed real earnings. Only a fool believes operating earnings.
Because they're more comprehensive?
Why did you change your name?

Kum again?
You want agip to answer again? Isn't twice enough?

Once would be enuff.
Saying he answered earlier yet being unable to re-post it is not helpful.
Too tough a concept for you?
U.S. stock futures pointed to an upbeat start for Wall Street on Thursday, after markets took a bruising from corporate earnings the previous day, as investors waited to hear from a trio of Federal Reserve speakers.
A rise in oil prices was also helping set a positive tone, after the International Energy Agency said it sees a "dramatic reduction" in the supply glut later this year.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 87 points, or 0.5%, to 17,745, while those for the S&P 500 index added 13 points, or 0.6%, to 2,071. Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index climbed 26 points, or 0.6%, to 4,377.
The premarket gains come after a round of disappointing earnings from retailers--seen as a gauge of consumer confidence--sent all U.S. stocks lower in Wednesday's trade. The Dow average ended down 1.2% after a slump in Nike Inc. (NKE) and Walt Disney Co. (DIS) shares.
"U.S. indices ended yesterday around the same levels they opened on Monday, which reflects just how quiet it's been so far [this week]," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda, in emailed comments.
"That said, things should pick up from today starting with the [Bank of England] and followed by some U.S. economic data and Fed speeches. I think the end of the week will be much more interesting than the start, with more data again to come tomorrow, including U.S. retail sales," he said.
Is going back and reading the thread too tough for you?
