Fivemonth wing strning streak o far. Its the busiest week of earnings season with more than 160 s p 500 constituents reporting. Merck, pfizer, uber, jetblue, marriott, caterpillar.

This is routine. They did it before they took the stock down from 230 all the way down to 206. Jim, what we spoke listen, the bears didnt know what they were doing then the stock went straight up to 265 im absolutely happy to deal right at the front. 2 top line revenue growth, 22 .

They are pretty much always on the game, always doing their homework, especially during earnings season. These two facets of analyst seem to almost have nothing in common with each other. Is this the time General Mills is they dont do that. They have
