Noticed that....talk about your poisoned atmosphere!
I'm a perpetual optimist, and even I'm starting to wonder if it's time to run and hide....
But unlike Intel, IBM's guidance was strong. Must be a case of "buy the rumor, sell the news".

Thawed out?
Exactly. RevShark has been warning us about earnings being sold, whether good or bad, since the market rallied strongly into the reports.

I remember the winter of 1996 here; we got hit with eight blizzards, the last being a hellacious ice-storm in April 1997 that knocked out power for almost a week. Then we got hit with a massive flood. Fun.
I feel your pain Spaf. Hang in there.

From Yahoo's market summary for today:
"An area of tech that was even more disappointing, though, was Semiconductor Equipment. It was today's worst performing S&P industry group after Lam Research (LRCX 46.22 -7.91), saying shipment delays will weigh on this quarter's bottom line, exacerbated the mass exodus out of a sector that many were counting on to help the S&P 500 keep its winning streak of double-digit profit growth intact."

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -1.5. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -4.2. Futures indications suggest the market's recent losing streak will carry over into this morning's opening bell as seasonal weakness in Technology continues to play out earlier than anticipated. Bellwether IBM (IBM) is shaping up to be today's biggest trouble spot. Despite topping Wall Street expectations, IBM shares are plunging 5% in pre-market action after failing to report the blow-out numbers investors have been pricing into the stock to the tune of about 25% since October. Other Dow components out with solid earnings, but also not generating the enthusiasm of months past, are General Electric (GE) and Citigroup (C), as it becomes increasingly apparent the market is now more fixated on the negatives.

Understanding Earnings Season
From Ken Little,
Your Guide to Stocks.
FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!
Earnings season is a term you’ll hear or read with some frequency during the year. The market always approaches the earnings season with caution because of the uncertainty and the market can’t stand uncertainty.
Companies that hit or, better yet, exceed their number may see their stock rise. The market may hammer companies that fail to meet their number.
What Does Earnings Season Mean to You
Earnings season focuses attention on very short-term goals, which is usually not of concern to a “buy and hold” investor.
However, if you are a more active trader, earnings season can be a time of some volatility, either up or down for particular stocks and/or sectors.
If you are interested in which companies are reporting earnings in the near future, you can find a calendar on CNN Money that gives you the reporting date, a mean estimate from analysts and what the company’s EPS was one year ago.
