| Posted: 03 Jan 2011 10:05 AM PST The S&P 500 is currently expected to earn about $92 per share in 2011, up from $82 in 2010. That is growth of just over 12%.

S&P 500 Prediction Since the end of the third quarter, more analysts have been raising estimates than cutting them.

| Forex Trading: EURJPY Between Support And Resistance After Sharp Run Up Posted: 03 Jan 2011 07:37 AM PST The EURJPY has had a nice run up today from the lows.

The subsequent move off the high has so far held the 200 hour MA at the 108.64 level. This keeps the bullish bias intact. I expect sellers on a break below as the market longs liquidate on the failure to breach the ceiling at 108.91.
