$VOO(VOO)$ Just want to share my view on ETF [Grin]  Do you invest ETF ? ETFs provide better diversification than a single stock in terms of portfolio and risks. Compared with mutual funds, most ETFs provide more transparency regarding holdings, are easier to trade, typically provide more tax efficiency, and in many cases, have lower operating costs. The most common disadvantage pertains to EFTs that are designed to track indexes - tracking errors can create discrepancies. Thinly traded EFTs may also have wide bid/ask spreads, and depending on your broker, trading costs could be a concern.

CCitigroup - C scheduled to report earnings before Friday’s open. The stock hit a split adjusted record high of $570/share in 2006 and is currently trading near $43/share. The stock is prone to big moves after reporting earnings and can easily gap up if the numbers are strong. Conversely, if the numbers disappoint, the stock can easily gap down. My view: From where I sit, the most important trait I look for during earnings season is how the market and a specific company reacts to the news. Remember, always keep your losses small and never argue with the tape.
