Late Monday Roundup – XLII Aftermath Edition
Tip It!Last night the NY Giants pulled off a huge upset in Super Bowl XLII. According to Super Bowl lore, whenever a team from the old NFL (like the Giants) wins the Super Bowl, the stock market goes up. But when a team from the old AFL (like the Patriots) wins, the stock market goes down. Coincidence? I think not… The “Super Bowl Predictor” has correctly predicted the direction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 81% of the time, so… Buy! Buy! Buy! (Just kidding.)
Anyway, here are some interesting articles from the past week or so…
