Are you a victim of what we call “financial pornography?” Titillating sound bites that arouse intense emotional reactions without the satisfaction of any long-term solutions? The deluge of daily money news convinces too many people that the world is spinning out of control and that financial security seems like a hopeless dream.

Is there a Super Bowl Indicator?

Besides the GREAT and the maybe not so great commercials, what does the Super Bowl have to do with the financial markets?  Well there is a claim that the winner of the Super Bowl predicts the fate of the market for the rest of the year.   

Super Bowl Indicator (SBI)

imagesCAK4XK10You can predicate the market results for 2012 –If the winning team is from the original NFC the Bulls will be running and the market will rise; however, if an AFC team wins expect a downward market.

An Alternative Theory

You can choose the winner by reviewing the Dow.  If the Dow rises from the end of November until Super Bowl game day, the team whose full name appears later in the alphabet will win.

Over the last 41 years the SBI prediction has been right about 80% of the time.  However, what is interesting is when you compare the two teams in this year’s Super Bowl – The New England Patriots and the New York Giants the average returns are not much different (6.6% versus -3.4%).

No matter what theory you use for this year’s Super Bowl match-up of the NY Giants and the New England Patriots should be taken lightly.  Have fun and enjoy the commercials!
