I think Steve's comments on Earnings are on the money, it seems
like a real gamble to hold a stock through earnings in this
environment. MDT doesn't post until Aug. 19th, but MER will post
after the close tomorrow. I believe EarningsWhispers.com has the
consensus est on MER at 2.07 with their est at 2.50. Perhaps if
they are correct this may help the financials. I'm not holding MER
but did pick up UYG yesterday near the low - will hold today unless
it looks like its going to continue to head south. This will take
care of my gambling fix.

Unless I am reading the chart wronf - they concensus is a LOSS
of $2.07 and the Whisper is a LOSS of $2.50. If earingswhisper.com
is correct, wouldn't that be a negative for the market?

rgoodwin,
my bad you are correct - may have to exit that UYG a little early.
