Earnings per share registered a year-over-year growth of 19.0% on top-line improvement and lower shares outstanding.

December E-mini S&Ps (ESZ14 +0.41%) this morning are up +0.40% and European stocks are up +0.77% on positive carry-over from yesterday's FOMC meeting where policy makes kept their pledge to keep interest rates near zero for a "considerable period" after completing asset purchases.

My two focus picks: TTC has posted gains in 8 of the past 10 years; CLC has posted gains in 7 of the past 10 years.
