SIMON's system must not be based on fundamentals, maybe voodoo economics ========================== AP S&P 500 2nd-quarter earnings fall 29 percent Monday August 25, 4:41 pm ET S&P 500 companies' 2nd-quarter operating earnings fall 29 percent; 4th straight quarterly drop NEW YORK (AP) -- Standard & Poor's Index Services on Monday said preliminary figures show second-quarter operating earnings for the S&P 500 companies fell 29 percent, the fourth straight quarterly decline for the index of large companies. With data available from 96 percent of the companies in the index, S&P said the aggregate results show operating earnings at $17.08 per share, compared with $24.06 per share for the 2007 second quarter. "As reported" earnings, which reflect results that are not adjusted for special charges and gains, fell to $13.32 per share. That's down 39.1 percent since hitting a record of $21.88 per share in the first quarter of 2007. ==================== Seriously, I saved this SIMON prediction. Let's all see how SIMON does in September and report back.
