Now That Apple Has Reported, Is Earnings Season Over; If Not Over, Is It Even Relevant / Interesting Any More? October 30, 2015

I don't recall any earnings announcement with live blogging except for Apple, and this wasn't the first time. Whatever.

Today, on tap:

• Chevron, forecast 76 cents; huge beat at $1.09; will cut 7,000 jobs
• XOM, forecast 89 cents; huge beat at $1.01; this is interesting -- a $1.01 this quarter this year, and $1.89 a year ago, same quarter; huge drop but nearly not as bad as one might have expected; color me impressed;
• Genesee & Wyoming: beats by 7 or 8 cents;
• Greenbrier: huge, huge beat; forecast $1.80; actually earned $2.02; 
• PSX: earnings jump 34%; huge, huge beat; forecast $2.24; actually earned $2.90
• Steris: beats by 7 cents
