the trading desk, what does budget deficit have to do with the price to earnings multiple of bristol-myers? in other words, these bearish news stories should have more of an impact cerebrally, right? than they do. they should seep into our consciousness and make us more nervous, but they don't. it's just not what happens. for many stocks the news doesn't register. these stories don't impact the price of apple. they can't match against pfizer or be calculated against microsoft or even the closing prices of red-hot stocks like cummins or caterpillar. am i saying these big-picture negatives mean nothing? no, i'm not stupid or glib like that. as i told you last week i want to see what the germans do with the deals the greeks have this weekend. a disorderly default and unruly, disorderly in greece would be negative. we have to figure out what happens to the euro as the euro deeply impacts the companies from the conference calls we've gone through. as i said over and over, if earnings get cut, stocks do go lower, but the bigger issue is what happens if germany embraces greece and at the same tim
