Dear Subscriber,

It’s going to be a busy week….

First, there will be earnings – a great deal of them. Nearly 750 companies have been confirmed to report. Dow components include Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Travelers (TRV), Verizon (VZ) and Walt Disney (DIS).

Second, the Treasury Department will auction a record $115 billion in bonds. No, that is not a typo.

Third, we will get the advance estimate for Q2 GDP on Friday.

Finally, there will be more positive profit surprises, and some misses. To find out from whom read: Earnings Preview for Jul 27-31

Wishing you prosperity,
