[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.
