Last week was just the spark to light the fire as far as earnings season goes. This week is when things really heat up, with 122 reports coming out on Thursday.

We went through the companies expected to report and filtered out the ones that will get the most attention. Citi (C) and Genentech (DNA) kick things off on Monday, then two key tech names -- INTC and YHOO -- report after the close on Tuesday. Bellwethers JPM, KO, MO and UTX report on Wednesday along with EBAY, and GOOG and IBM will be the most closely followed after the close on Thursday.

It's so nice of Google to always report in the evening on the day before options expiration. It always makes for an interesting Friday every three months.
