AH news....CTRP Down 5.62%, JBLU 4.48%

CTRP earnings report was confusing, its EPS is showing 14 cents 
& 24 cents...14 cents is a miss by 2 cents...but IF we take 24 cents then it is a beat by 8 cents

Sales was $980.5  million a miss by $19.5 million, but again in Zacks Sales expected are shown as $964.1 million which means a beat by $16.4 million......

Gross margin improved to 83% from 78%....Q4 yoy

Sales guidance for Q1 was growth of 9% to 11%..pretty much in line

So far in AH reaction is negative, but regular hour trading and 
analysts numbers will come into play.....

AH Futures Down

AH Asian Markets Down

AH Oil & Gold UP

About market, TAPE opened higher,k but like a clockwork closed red, reason is potential retaliatory action by Chinese on US goods, EU is contemplating the same. Internals were weak. Strong stocks are acting well in this selling. We need clarity in trade policy otherwise we are heading into tit for tat actions by all countries.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
