This morning, 12 of the 15 companies that reported earnings beat estimates, with JP Morgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) beating by the widest margins. Coca-Cola (KO) was the other big company that reported this morning, and it beat estimates handily. WFC and KO are up double-digit percentages today, while JPM is currently down about 2%. So the three biggest stocks that reported today all solidly beat estimates and two are trading up on the news. What is that good for? A decline of nearly 700 points on the Dow! How much would a miss from them have cost the stock market? -1,400?
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
