Here we go again. It's day 2 of 90-day trade negotiations but that doesn't stop the market from ignoring TERRIBLE Industrial Production numbers out of Germany which paints a very ugly picture for the Euro Zone and Samsung just beat Apple by a mile, saying their Q4 operating profits will decline 29% but those look great compared to LG, who are warning their profits can slip 80% for the quarter . Q4 is, by the way, the biggest quarter of the year for these companies . Of course, these are not American companies and American traders are famous for their "not in my backyard " attitude about profit warnings (or human rights violations or disease or poverty or starvation…) so the Dow ( /YM ) Futures are up 200 points, regardless, and then we'll all be " shocked and surprised " when a US tech company warns that things are slowing. At least the good news for Apple (AAPL) is that they aren't losing any market share – it's just a crap market at the moment! IN PROGRESS
