What is ahead next week for stocks

Stock market closed mixed Friday. The tech neavy Nasdaq closed down 22 points, or about 1%, because of the bad forecast by Microsoft (MSFT). Some of the recent leaders saw some big losses for the past few sessions, leaders such as (NWRE), (MSTR), (DRIV), (JOYG). Earning is focal points for the recent sessions. Disappointing earnings will crush the stocks. I would be careful not to buy stocks or hold stocks in front of earning release day.
