Monday screencast: earnings ennui

Today’s screencast is a follow-up to Friday’s screencast in which we discussed the sentiment situation.  Some more data and articles came out that point towards a build-up of bearish sentiment.  In particular, Barry Ritholtz notes how when Wall Street analysts become bearish it s worth taking note.  Analysts have reacted skeptically to better-than-expected earnings with the belief than weak revenue growth and a sputtering economy would eventually lead to disappointment down the road.
