S&P Top 20 Component Q2 EPS Release Dates

JUN Retail Sales is the big scheduled econ event for the week, on the 14th.
Consensus is flat at 50-something.
I'm expecting something a wee south of that.

Just the same, all the hub-bub will be about earnings season, and I don't know if that will drown out Retail Sales or just reflect it.

S&P 500 Top 20 by Weighting Q2 EPS Release Dates & Estimates

A: I tried to C&P this data as a table, but it didn't work.
I've an idea on a work-around, but don't have time at the moment.

B: It drives me nuts that we live in a culture where we read left to right, chart left to right, yet disseminate "current" then "from"

Ex: "The company's Q2 EPS was $1.25, up from $1.00 in Q1".

Ex: "The JUN data was 1.25, down from 1.50 in MAY."


Information should be presented as "Data moved from 1.50 in MAY down to 1.25 in JUN."

Many earnings data sets are presented with most recent on the left.
Then put Next Q estimates to the far right.
WTH?
I have to waste brain power converting left to right to mentally graph time progression.


I hate (stupid) people.



PS, with the invention of electric typewriters we could have ditched the deliberately inefficient QWERTY keyboard and gone to the much more efficient Dvorak system.


Coulda done it with computers.
Coulda done it with Blackberries.
Coulda done it with current text phones.
Soon as this stuff moved away from professional secretaries into the domain of retail consumers the conversion could have been made.
