" Clearly just rational selling on the news no unexpected Bank of America disappoint them both the top to bottom line. The same could be said for G so. Given the fact that too big Bellwether stocks basically didn't simply failed to deliver but fell markedly short of consensus estimates. This market with hardly and sell off mode just some rational profit taking."

" Let me come back to that that expression used a moment ago the top of the line the bottom of the -- the disparity we are beginning to see in some of these earnings reports why is that of concern."

" Mission critical here is basically being able to deliver better than expected top line numbers top line relate to sales that's. That's the way we really can gauge whether or not this rebounded rally will be able to sustain themselves as opposed to simply bottom line management which has cost cutting. Layoffs scaling back of production the goods and services. That we have seen we -- as early as the second quarter to enable businesses to basically. Pull themselves back from the brink but if this market's gonna go higher we're gonna have to be able to see that businesses. Are just simply able to stem the bleeding but it factor.

It's coming off of an extraordinarily low scale back -- And so didn't do much to move the markets that might have helped the market. -- up a little bit less. But the reality is the pace of production has been cut so far below. The pace of sales that basically any sort of mildly good news is already priced. And next week more big companies report numbers we do Texas Instruments could Monday after the closing bell Tuesday. I hit a three -- is -- caterpillar coach and Coca-Cola. That's a broad spectrum right there of the general goods and services on a global scale. Deposited DuPont chemical maker he did any sort of infrastructure play read both domestically and globally.
