Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX stock, what do the markets expect?

Yahoo Finance has a good overview of how analysts position themselves for an earnings release and update by a major company.  CSX is a member of the S&P 500 index of stocks, and its report is often seen as one view of how the economy is doing.  Numbers will be out next week, followed by a discussion with stock analysts.

Stock analysts are often employed by large investors such as pension funds, by fund companies like Fidelity or Vanguard, or by investment houses like TD, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Edward Jones, etc.  Their job is to offer informed views on shares they cover, and to make buy or sell recommndnations.  Some analysts can move markets with insightful comments or news, others are hacks

Aside from market vacillations which are plainy evident today. My guess will be our numbers will be good...that is to say maintaining our present track.
