What's all the fuss about in terms of this third quarter earnings warning? By any standard, these are very, very good results.

It's going to have to be the third-quarter earnings to save the market.

The estimates are for earnings to be down 50 percent in the second quarter, 37 percent in the third quarter, and 12 percent in the fourth.

We're going to have awful earnings reports for the second and third-quarter so we have to brace ourselves for that. To make a sustained rally, we need to see economic news and earnings news start to turn positive and we don't see that happening until the fourth quarter.

The third quarter earnings have been fairly well received and I think there will be anticipation that fourth-quarter earnings could be better than expected,

Although our third-quarter earnings were not as favorable as those of the prior year, I am pleased with the outstanding box office performance to date of ' Armageddon ,'
