Patriots Win But The Markets Lose! [IMAGE]This week investors will be he=
aring about how the markets are doomed. The 14 point underdog New England=
Patriots upset the St. Louis Rams which was said to have had the greatest =
offense in history. What does the Super Bowl have to do with your portfoli=
o? According to the Super Bowl Predictor theory, if an NFC team wins the=
Super Bowl then the markets go up for the year. If the AFC wins then the =
market drops. (Team from the old NFL ala Baltimore Ravens (Old Cleveland B=
rowns) are categorized as an NFC team) Before you laugh at the notion of =
a football game determining the markets, there is some hard data backing up=
the theory. The indicator has been correct 29 out of the last 35 tries. =
Being right 82% of the time is nothing to snicker. However, in the past fe=
w years the indicator has failed miserably. In 98 and 99 the AFC Denver Br=
oncos repeated as champions and the markets were supposed to have been claw=
ed by the bears. Instead, investors saw the most stunning gains in history=
as the Nasdaq hit 5,000 and the Dow Jones topped 10,000. In 00 and 01 wh=
en the Rams and Ravens won their Super Bowls respectively the markets saw a=
brutal decline which seemed to send investors in to a tail spin. Take a =
deep breath before you decide to take all of your money out of the market a=
nd purchase some safe 2% yielding CDs. The stock market has been a differe=
nt animal the past four years and 2002 looks to be no exception. We are no=
w in a market of stocks where individual companies have been outperforming =
the overall market significantly. Remember, it is always very important =
to diversify your portfolio with companies in different sectors and market =
caps. This brings us to what could be the "Tom Brady MVP" company of the=
year. For those of you football neophytes, Tom Brady is the 24 year old q=
uarterback extraordinaire who piloted the Patriots to victory. Our next =
profile will be occurring this week but we do not have the precise time whe=
n the new issue is trading. The company will be completing a reverse merge=
r and opened for trading this week. We will be sending out an alert to our=
subscribers the moment the stock begins trading. However, for the fastest=
way to find out when the company opens for trading is by visiting our home=
page where you will find a real time alert. Here's to dispelling the Sup=
