The Dow hit
10,000this week, but I'm seeing a lot of zeroes next
week.
As we wade knee-deep into earnings season, we'll see a lot
of companies that aren't bouncing back the way their buoyant
share prices would seem to suggest.
Let's go over a few of the blue chips and seemingly
recession-proof companies for which analysts see the arrows
pointing down on the bottom line next week. Some of the names
may surprise you.
