I suspect the oil companies took a major revenue hit in the 4th quarter. They are a substantial part of the S&P 500. So if overall revenues are still up, that is actually quite amazing.

Well, it is Q4. I don’t expect a repeat, but who know the iWatch may be a hit.

If the Apple numbers are more attributable to iPhone sales in China, and I don’t know, doesn’t the 2.1% earnings growth arguably reflect China’s economy and not USA’s?

Peter Schiff mentioned they got this growth only because they asssumed 0% inflation, so theres no inflation deflater on their gdp number. We know their inflation numbers are rigged, so if we were to use the real inflation numbers, theres really no growth
