take a look at hilton.y came in like with the expectations. 2015 guides on the conservative side. see the stock doing nicely here. eaton, this is a big multi industry. they're all over the world. they had a 5% decline in sales. negative currency cost 6% decline in sales. it's just killing these companies. they still did pretty well. i'm emphasizing the dollar impact. we would be so much better if the dollar didn't have this impact. praxair revenues 9 below last year. 8% because of the negative impact from foreign currency. their numbers on the light side. my theme simple here. dollars killing he havef revenues. u.s. steel numbers rather disappointing as well here. let me talk about the gdp numbers. unusual big miss here. 0 0.8% in the estimates. the s&p positive 60-70 pergs of the time. an average of 0.16%. i would say this is a bit of a wash. little more interesting perhaps is the biggest gainer and it's defensive names. utilities do well on a day like today. they're up 83% of the time average return 0.12%
