Super Bowl LII Indicator

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: The bull market may now be facing its ultimate threat: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

That’s because the Patriots are 5 ½ point favorites to win the Super Bowl on Feb. 4 and the venerable Super Bowl Indicator is bearish whenever the victorious team traces its roots — as can the Patriots — back to the original American Football League.
Regards,
Ted

    On the bright side, even though the Vikings didn't make it into the super bowl their stadium did.

    Except for last year, all the other Pats years the market was flat or down.

    When the Browns make the Super Bowl, I fully expect the market to collapse along with the global banking system and general law and order around the world.

    Ryan, Collins, Brown and Warfield will all come out of retirement and suit up

    All of those, plus Leroy Kelly were the exact players I grew up with. Of course, that was on the radio, and only rarely on TV as I recall.

    That's odd when I think about it. The pro teams and even college teams back then, were rarely on TV.

    I think I recall watching them every Sunday afternoon, at least fall '64. This would've been Akron TV. Avoiding schoolwork, like all the other football boys.

    Perhaps the "Tena-rotor" from our hilltop in Canton needed to be dialed in a bit.

    My prediction and hope, Eagles 30 the other team 24.

    Plus, Brady, Gronk and the Hoodie all retire on Monday following the game.
