 Patriots Win But The Markets Lose!   [IMAGE]This week investors will be hearing 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 portfolio?    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 Browns) 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 few years the indicator has failed miserably.  In 98 and 99 the AFC Denver Broncos repeated as champions and the markets were supposed to have been clawed 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 when 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 and purchase some safe 2% yielding CDs.  The stock market has been a different animal the past four years and 2002 looks to be no exception.  We are now 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 quarterback extraordinaire who piloted the Patriots to victory.    Our next profile will be occurring this week but we do not have the precise time when the new issue is trading.  The company will be completing a reverse merger 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.   Here's to dispelling the Super Bowl Predictor for 2002 for SmallCap Digest subscribers.
