Aflac expected to report 20% rise in Q4 earnings

Caught a little blurb on MarketWatch.com:

"Meanwhile, Aflac (AFL), which provides supplemental health and life insurance products, is expected to report a 20% rise in earnings to $1.01 a share in the fourth quarter, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet Research. Its shares gave up 1.1% to $22.97 during the regular session."

With the market down today, this is pretty good news. I expect AFL to jump a bit in after-market trading and tomorrow when their announcement hits the rest of the news outlets. Meanwhile, Sandisk is going to report a loss, while Macy's just announced layoffs and a dividend cut. Boy, this economy stinks.
