Stock Market Investing Using The Superbowl Indicator

In a post called Who Dat?!, the Rajin' Cajun talked about how it's hard to focus on stock market investing with his Saints in the NFC Championship game. I'm having the same problem over here on my site because I am a Colts fan over in the AFC. Being from Indiana, I'm a Drew Brees fan because he played for Purdue. I'm routing for a Colts - Saints match up.

Which got me to thinking about the so called Super Bowl Indicator. If you are not familiar with it, what the superstition is that if an old team from the old AFL (think Jets) wins the Super Bowl, the stock market will fall in the upcoming year. If a team from the old NFL, think Colts, Saints or Vikings win, the stock market will go up. The stock market investing indicator has been right about 81% of the time.

Therefore, the most important thing is that the Colts get to the Superbowl.

If the Colt's and the Saints reach the Superbowl, maybe if that happens the Rajin' Cajin and I ought to make a little wager.

While it's not a 100 percent accurate because the Colts are from the old NFL. Here's an old video that talks about the Super Bowl Indicator.
