i'm morgan brennan.
>> andrew berkeley joins us to
talk for about second quarters
earnings and the market.
he's a portfolio strategist.
we got the news and samsung
warned of a possible 26% drop in
its quarterly profits.
how is it shaping up in your
view and how will it play up in
the markets?
>> hey, susie, it will be a good
earnings season.
7% year over year growth for
operating profits on about 3%
revenue growth, which is what we
see the economic data tracking.
so it looks like after the soft
bach in one, the economy is
reaccelerating here.
we think profit growth probably,
you know, will be good here in
the second quarter.
probably most importantly for
the markets is going to be
hearing what companies say in
terms of forward guidance for
the second half of the year
because we know that analysts
expectations for the second half
are already pretty optimistic.
for them to push the numbers
