Diamonds & Dogs is taking a brief detour today.
Instead of looking backward at one day’s winners and losers, we’re looking ahead to a busy week of corporate earnings. Approximately 75 companies in the S&P 500 are currently scheduled to report results this week, providing investors with fresh information from technology, consumer products, autos, aerospace, defense, financial services and communications.

Here are 10 household names worth watching, not as investment recommendations, but because their results may provide useful snapshots of different parts of the economy.
