Adding Microsoft to my Jubak Picks portfolio–hoping for a July “miss” like that in April

Did Intel and Amazon finally break the sell on earnings beat pattern today?
Okay, this obviously isn’t a Morning Briefing. I wanted to wait and catch the earnings announcements from Amazon, Intel, and Microsoft. All three beat earnings estimates–but this market hasn’t been very generous in rewarding earnings surprises (after Netflix) that is. Â The key tests here are to see what the shares did in after-hours trading, after investors and traders saw the earnings news, and to see how the market treats these beats tomorrow.

So much news. And so much that has the potential to move the financial markets. Let’s start on the economic side, ok? Monday we get reports on personal income and inflation. And on the earnings side?

Notes You Need for January 9: Target prices, MSFT, INTC, AMD, bitcoin apology, gold
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. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. A typical post would resembles this one from today: “10:20 a.m.: Wall Street analysts continue to position their target prices ahead of earnings season. Today I’ve seen higher target prices for MGM Resorts International (MGM), up to $4 from $41; Microsoft (MSFT), up to $115 from $100; and Charles Schwab (SCHW), up to $60 from $52. I’ve also seen lower targets for Allegan (AGN), down to $215 from $230; and Alibaba (BABA), down to $219 from $221.”

A very heavy week for earnings will reach a crescendo on Thursday, November 2 with reports from Alibaba and Apple.

This week Facebook (FB) is the Wednesday, November 1, Â warmup act.
Tech giants crush earnings after close today: AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, INTC
Just the bare facts. And on the bare facts of earnings from Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel it's hard to see the market doing anything but climbing tomorrow. Alphabet (GOOG) beats by $1.17 a share on earnings. Revenue climbed 23.7% yer over year to $27.77...
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.
