Dear Subscribers,
The market closed at breakeven Monday, thus holding the Dow 11,000 level for a second straight session. It's as if everyone is holding their breath waiting for the flow of earnings releases to come. Tuesday brings Intel and CSX. The former says a lot about the health of tech. The latter, being a railroad, gives a good sense about the general level of commerce in the US. Later in the week we get Google and General Electric. The following week will be a much bigger selection of noteworthy reports. Again, the strength of earnings over the next two weeks will determine if we can press to new highs or need to retreat for a while. Stay tuned!
To get the early read on earnings season so far, here is the latest Earnings Trends article from Zacks.com's Dirk van Dijk: So Far, So Good

Research Breakthrough Nearly Doubles Gains from Zacks #1s
In late 2009, our research team drilled deeply into a special class of Zacks #1 Rank stocks and made a stunning discovery. A handful of #1s outperform those "Strong Buys" as a whole by nearly 100%.
Even as the market sank, these stocks continued to be strong. As we harvested double-digit gains (four on the board right now), too many investors wanted in. So the opportunity had to close. Now, briefly, this exclusive stock list is open to you again.
