It’s official. According to economist Ed Yardeni of Deutsche Bank, from 1967 through to 2000 the S&P 500 has usually fallen whenever an American Football team from the old AFL wins the Superbowl and risen when an NFL team win. Two weeks ago old AFL team, the New England Patriots, won the Superbowl. Down year it is then. What do you mean, you’ve never heard of the Superbowl Indicator? From 1967-1998 the indicator has had a 90 per cent success rate. But a note of caution: don’t bet the home on this one.

And where is 'jumbo shrimp'? I don't know about you guys, but usually where road construction is concerned, a "Men Working" sign would be considered an oxymoron.
