1) Can Tech Still Route Profits To Your Portfolio? + Vic Wisemann’s Thoughts on: PHM, MRO, DE, A, HPQ, AMAT, CSCO, INTC, IBM, DELL and PALM

Vic Wisemann Contributor

As we work our way through another earnings season, the bulk of the quarter's earnings have passed with the market giving a collective yawn. Given that the fourth quarter of 2008 was not stellar, year-over-year comparisons are looked at with little comment by most analysts. The main focus has not been on the current quarter's number, but on the outlook for the next quarter and year. Stocks have a net loss since earnings season kicked off, and investors continue to wonder if the rally was for real, or if it was just a momentum-driven push that soon will fade.

Just because we are well into the season doesn't mean there are no earnings plays left to make. In the coming weeks we will hear from home builders like Pulte Homes Inc. (PHM), energy companies like Marathon Oil Corporation (MRO), industrial conglomerate Deere & Co. (DE) and technology companies Agilent Technologies Inc. (A), Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) and Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT).
