Stocks tend to be most volatile around earnings season, when a good or bad report can make or break it. However, a good or even great earnings report doesn't necessarily translate into a huge pop for a stock.
With earnings season in swing, BullMarket.com is excited to introduce its Q4 earnings previews, a comprehensive 20- to 30-page report published each Friday during earnings season.
For the past three quarters, BullMarket.com used the data it has collected to correctly predict investor reactions for approximately two-thirds of the stocks it's previewed.

The big risks to Foster Wheeler's business would be for oil prices to reverse significantly or the recovery to stall. Given the low interest rates and the Fed's quantitative easing (aka QE2) policies, the latter seems unlikely and the resulting weak dollar will keep commodity prices elevated..."
