In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post.

Market reaction to Microsoft isn’t making me jump up and down ahead of Facebook, Amazon earnings next week
In my Saturday Night Quarterback post last weekend, I said that I was looking for Microsoft’s (MSFT) earnings, reported after the close yesterday, July 20, for clues on how the U.S. stock market would react to earnings reports from Alphabet (GOOG) on July 24, Facebook (FB) on July 26, and Amazon (AMZN) on July 27.
