Google, Amazon, Prep Earnings as Silicon Valley Titans are Watched

A number of big companies are readying earnings for the morning and afternoon on Thursday, January 29: Coach (COH) before the bell, and Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOGL) and Visa (V) after the market closes. Coach is looking to fend off declining share price in the wake of the success of one of its competitors; Amazon is aiming to show it can compete with new e-commerce players after seeing shares sink and Google aims to reverse a downward trend in Mountain View. Plus, Jim Cramer is lining up an Action Alert Pick: he's bullish on shares of Microsoft, despite the stock taking a plunge earlier this week.
