Two more big earnings reports after hours today, DNA and YUM. Both marginally beat expectations, which, considering the cheap dollar-isn't saying much. The kind of interesting thing is both are down a bit afterhours. It's making me think peoples expectations of earnings are running high, and so far, I don't see any big names stepping up and crushing the numbers. Quietly, during todays rise, bonds crept back up, sure not raising the rate to any fear digit, but at the pace they are going-how long will that take?

Motorola warns, Ericsson misses tonight.

People's expectations running high? Where do you get that idea? The odd-lot shorts were at the record high, all time high as far as I can remember: 7M shares vs only 14M buys! People are WAY TOO much aware and cautious about the economic problems. The indices are simply floating higher because of the lack of available shares to borrow or buy, imho... Ericsson did not even budge in the after hours, Motorola does not trade on the NDX, so it doesn't matter...

"People's expectations running high? Where do you get that idea? " Only in the simple sense that just making the number sent most things balistic last quarter. I guess I should have said expectations seem higher-not high.
