Quarterly FedEx (FDX) earnings are almost always worth noting.  One for what the shipping giant is saying about the state of the global economy.  Second for the reactions to the news.  Many analysts and investors view FedEx as an economic bellwether and therefore garners a disproportionate amount of chatter.  With FedEx announcing continued profits (and layoffs) it seems to represent the state of equity markets to a T.  In today’s screencast we review the reaction to the reactions.
