I mean you would have to be dead not to show improvement over Q1 2009 ( one of if not the worst earnings qtr in history). Now we are down to nut cutting time, show me the increased revenues or watch this market evaporate. As shown on ZH's site yesterday there has been an actual outflow of money from equities in the last qtr. The only thing keeping this market going has been the algos trading with each other driving the prices up. When Qtr 2 earnings show the drop off that any knowledgeable person knows is coming, you can expect some of the big boys to take some chips off the table. Only the first 10-15% out are going to get anything because we have already seen from last week how thin this market is. These earnings are sooo bogus.

Revenues have been the key headline this quarter as we continue to see companies beating expectations due to cost cutting.
