Dear Subscriber,

The market gets a breather this week as earnings season moves away from the financials, which could give stocks a much-welcomed boost.

There are 630 companies scheduled to report, including 151 members of the S&P 500. Charles Rotblut outlines the major events of the week in his latest "Earnings Preview" commentary.
