Google's results will be interesting but Google is considered in a category by itself and may not influence the market that much- good or bad. If the results are great though it could carry over into other Internets and tech even if Amazon doesn't do that well. Boeing earnings may be the one to watch because of the recent controversy about Boeing's prospects and the broader implications for aerospace.
