Presenting The "Superbowl Market Indicator" Or Why A Giants Victory Means Market Pain
Considering that the only thing more irrelevant in a period of centrally-planned financial suppression than fundamentals are historical chart patterns, such as the recently resurgent 'Golden Cross', which will have no bearing at all on a market which lives and dies by every eyebrow twitch of the Chairsatan and his central planning cartel cronies, we have decided to present yet another just as worthless, if much more fun market "predictor" - presenting the Superbowl Market Indicator, or the relative performance of the S&P following an NFC vs an AFC team winning the championship final. And not only that, but as SMRA adds, "on the three occasions when the Giants won the big game, the S&P 500 was lower by an average of -6.6% from the day of the Super Bowl through year-end." So while clueless pundits wax philosophical about precious metal and/or zombified "crosses", feel free to rebuke them that a Manning win will obliterate any possible gains from that particular irrelevant chart formation.
From Stone McCarthy:
For fans of NFL football, this week will be one of great anticipation, as they await Sunday's match-up between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. While Giants and Patriots fans see this as a battle for bragging rights between New York and Boston, today's Chart of the Day shows their 401Ks may be more affected by the clash between the NFC vs. AFC.
You see, simply rooting for the Giants or Patriots gives investors little to look forward to, when it comes to equity returns. For instance, on the three occasions when the Giants won the big game, the S&P 500 was lower by an average of -6.6% from the day of the Super Bowl through year-end. When looking at the performance following New England's only three Super Bowl victories, the average performance through year-end (-3.4%) isn't much better.
On the other hand, when looked at in terms of the NFC vs. AFC, the table below proves that even Patriots fans should be cheering for the Giants. That is, in the 24 Super Bowls that have gone to the NFC, the benchmark equity index has ended the remainder of the year higher 79% of the time with averaged returns of +10.2%, while the AFC's 21 victories have been followed by gains into year-end 62% of the time, with an average return of only +3.1%.
And here is the history.
Needless to say, this is about as indicative of the future as what Punxatoawney Phil has to say about the weather.

Peyton?
Poor Eli.... He still gets no respect.
Its still bread and circuses for the masses...
MMmmmmm.... Bread.
I heard the halftime show will include several Ron Paul supporters being eaten by lions... gonna be awesome!
While doomer rednecks obsess over this drivel, along with nascar and monster truck racing, top nobel prize winning economists economists are working tirelessly to correct our economic problems. Maybe one day doomer libertarians and silverbug conspiracy theorists will see this dichotomy and learn to respect their ELECTED leaders.
It is football, relax $. You need a hobby.
Just a modern day version of the gladiator games. Useless eaters obsessing over other useless eaters who happen to be good at passing a toy ball around. At least it's not as bloodthirsty as the gladiator games. Then again, at least the Romans had the stomach for blood and guts...
I thought roller derby was the modern gladiators.
I second that. Spectacle indeed.
Bring on "Rollerball" (Johnathan, Johnathan...)
Monster trucks don't race each other. They mostly crash into each other and drive over other cars or things that then explode or occasionally shoot flames.... and it is a fucking sight to behold.
That's all I'm saying.
I-10, Broadway curve, Phoenix, AZ.
LOL!
Rule 1: Everything before 2009 is irrelevant.

Therefore:
2009: AFC +28.4%
2010: NFC +16.9%
2011: NFC -5.4%
AFC average: +28.4%
NFC average: +5.75%
MDB,classic. You are making a comeback.
Either the funniest post ever or your on Barry's payroll ;)
"top nobel prize winning economists"
It must be the peace prize: I hear they give that out for hope of change.

Punxatoawney Phil... Groundhog's Day... More lies. It's all just lies and madness.
"Poor Eli.... He still gets no respect."
My wife says the same thing.
If the detroit loins went and won the bowl, then a comet would come and distroy the planet, in record time. Commercials with barking dogs, who make more sense than the chairsatan, says we will be fine.
You sound biblically inspired... no wonder you called for the Loins to win...
Could you help Dr. Freud up please?
Hey dude the Lions won in 1957 and there was no comet.
I was at the Moroccan Grand Prix that year.
There was no SuperBowl in 1957
Minor detail.
Buddy Layne.... now there was a QB.
BOBBY Layne... Another minor detail...
Geez ~ No wonder the Lions have never been to a Superbowl...
More DETROIT trivia... The original Pontiac Silverdome (where the Lions used to play & was the host of a Superbowl)... Ended up being sold for only $450,000...
Yep... my bad...
then again I never did see him play...
Eli Manning...
What's interesting is that the SuperBowl is being PLAYED in Indianapolis...
The COLTS franchise won two SuperBowls... (1971, 2007)... On this chart, they are BOTH listed as wins on the AFC side of the ledger... However, the Baltimore Colts were originally an NFL team (became AFC after the NFL/AFL merger in 1970)...
The Steelers (winners of 6 SuperBowls), were also an original NFL team (now counting themselves as AFC)... The Ravens (franchise), originated from the Cleveland Browns, NFL (before 1970)...
The "true" (always AFC teams, whose franchises have won SuperBowls, are)...
Raiders, Jets, Dolphins, Patriots, Broncos, Chiefs
Deeper meaning possible?????????
GIANTS = Big government, Wall Street, Romney
PATRIOTS = you and me, Ron Paul
Hmmmmmmm??????????
ron paul is not a CHEATER!
You are a retard...
I'd rather be a retard WITH a sense of humor than a retard like you with NO sense of humor............what a maroon........
That was a joke? You do not tell one very well ihedge. Keep working on it....
Patriots = New England = Sen. Bernie Sanders, Congresscritter Barney Frank, Sen. Chris Dodd, Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sen. John Heinz-Kerry. Hardly conservative, if you ask me.
Giants = New Jersey = Chris Christie, big governor if not totally big government, and big taxes. Hardly conservative, if you ask me.
Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
That about sums it up for me.
It's been like that for years for me.
Go big BLUE!!
Though this former wide receiver can no longer match his university 40 yard time, I have kept in touch with the game enough to know that Peyton will be watching his brother on TV just like me. I suspect "football" means something totally different to Tyler. I'll laugh about your gaff when I watch the game with Joey Beckham, Larry Messi, and Buddy Ronaldo.
The real MVP is the bernank. Just look at him this morning, in there buying everything just to keep the S&P above 1300. What a stud.
giants 17,353,498 patriots -17
Go Pats!
The Giants? Who are they playing?
Anyone who still believes that pro-sports is not fixed should go open an account with MF Global.
maybe corzine knows where bill belichick's ethics are hidden.
Really, and your proof is????
Don't believe me? Go read up onTim Donaghy and what he had to say. Oh, he was a NBA ref, btw. Keep your head in the sand and believe that the Pats and Giants made it back to the "big game" by chance.
So one bad NBA ref, and all of pro sports is fixed. Kinda throwing the baby out with the bathwater, a little overly dramatic don't you think.
I figured you would say that. Here, why don't you spend a few hours here: http://www.thefixisin.net/
Should provide you with plenty of further evidence that pro sports is fixed.
But hey, if you don't want to see reality, then keep drinking the kool-aid and enjoy your "entertainment".
I like a good scotch better....
John Parry is the head ref (with most of Walt Anderson's crew)... They're not particularly crooked... I'd be more afraid of Pete Morelli, Carl Cheffers, or Scott Green...
Though I will say that Parry & his crew were involved in more than their share of "backdoor covers" (teams COVERING point spreads that went against the Vegas House Card)...
Particularly of note were:
- Baltimore vs. San Francisco (Thanksgiving Night)... Where, the PUBLIC was all over taking the 49ers & 4 points & Baltimore covered...
- New Orleans vs. San Francisco (wildcard playoff)... Where, the public was taking the Saints & laying points & the 49ers won outright...
The pattern would suggest that the PUBLIC DOG (in the Superbowl) will prevail... The Patriots are 3 point FAVORITES, but the Vegas House Card has a 60% lean on the Giants (as well as 73% of the Money Line bet on the Giants)...
Vegas will get HAMMERED if the NY Giants win... So, expect the Patriots to win by 4 or more... My gift to you all...
I've been formulating ideas about sports conspiracies, because I see all the ways it can be rigged while I'm watching it, so that site should be a good place to start reading up on it. Fans put too much trust in the officials and experts who call plays differently depending on which way the wind blows. It's hard to watch ESPN and see people arguing about sports as if they actually matter and on top of that it's all rigged, so fuck it.
Brady needs one more to cap off a great career
stupor bowl, beeches!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't January a bit late to be playing the World Series?
Never has S&P closed negative for the year when Jan has been possitive and it has been an election year. Go take that.

Hilarious.
Bears are now really reaching for it with the "superbowl indicator".
10-year has surged again to new highs, yields crashing to 1.83%, same level as the October lows when Tom Keene was screaming "10-yr. is now the new 6 mo. T-Bill"
Just really looking forward to Lady Gaga's mother (madonna) doing the half time show.
No worries... Eli is a coward and a doughball... he bailed on my Chargers, so I am hoping he gets all of his baby teeth knocked out. His dad is a craven dogturd too. Peyton has class, must have been adopted.
The Chargers..HAAAA HAAAA what a joke.. I needed that laugh, wow that was good...
San Diego "Superchargers" FIGHT SONG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whNOfvyPpaM&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL89F63A9A810A52C4
Fucking "gayest" fight song in the history of the planet... Sounds like the effin Village People...
Um, how much of that -6.6% is due to 2008 alone. By that logic whichever team won the title in 2008 is a bad omen.
Pimco's muni-bond fund PMX going totally parabolic.
"Investors" simply cannot get enough "Paper".
Primary dealers are no longer "investors". The paper chase is mandated by the Fed and this ends with the cliff dive. STFU.
Haha Plosser says we may need a rate hike before 2013....Hahaha. These guys are complete morons.
GO BEARS...Chicago I mean. There's always next year. Or maybe not.
If CNBC is talking about the "Golden Cross" prepare yourself for a "Golden Shower". The last time the BS network and Bloomberg Radio, yes a radio station discussing a visual chart for 5 minutes, kept repeating a head and shoulders turn coming the market rallied significantly.
Giants are about to get their lil hineys Pattled. No worries.
Perhaps Jon Corzine, once governor of the state where the Giants play their home games, will rehypothecate the Patriots play book. If that happens the Pats are toast.
Hoffa is livid about talk that Corzine will be buried with him at Giants Stadium.
New stadium... Hoffa is now a parking lot...
Belichick hasn't won a Super Bowl since he got caught cheating.
This Patriots every year shit is getting real boring real quick. It's like the Steelers of the mid to late 70's and early 80's. Why bother watching football any more because you know who's going to the SB and who will win before the season starts. I also agree that if Americans gave 25% of the time spent on shit like this to focusing on the problems that are plaguing this nation and the thieves who are running it that we wouldn't be in the mess that we are in. Bread and circus defined.
Relax, its football. Not like it's tennis or curling or anything.
And whaddya mean "patriots every year"? They haven't won a super bowl in about 7 years.
Jonx, Do you even follow Football? You are way off..
Pats are going to win...
Myra Kraft voodoo...
The Black Monday crash of October 19, 1987 occurred the day after the NY Giants lost to the Buffalo Bills, giving them a 0-5 record. I remember thinking at the time that the market crashed once all the financial geniuses who rooted for the Giants realized that day (Oct. 18) that the Giants would not repeat as league champions. They were apparently all so distraught that on the following Monday morning they all clicked on the Sell button on their terminals.
Who knows for sure? If the Giants had won that game the market may not have crashed and we'd now be at DOW 36,000.
Such an eye for sports detail!
Are you, by any chance, channeling Howard Cosell?
Wait. Madonna's doing the half-time show? MADONNA?! Seriously, is this a joke? Isn't she on the wrong end of 50 yrs right about now? They couldn't find anyone else? I hear the Beach Boys are doing a 50 year reunion tour this year. Weren't they available?
Good grief, our society is more boned than if an Italian cruise ship captain were in the White House.
Madonna is having her wrinkles ironed as we speak. Please gawd, no wardrobe malfunctions this year. A stadium of fans turned to stone will not be good for PR.
Maddona? Good grief!
Bring back Michael Jackson - even if you have to dig him up!
Dont piss off Maddona, did you see her crazy bulked up arms, she looks like she can bench press a house. As for MJ, they should put a stake thru his heart to make sure he is dead, kiddy perv bastard.
Re did you see her crazy bulked up arms?
Yeah - almost as big as Hillary's ankles!
Today, Dow down -120, S&P at 1302.......not a good sign if you are a Patriots fan.
Pro sports is a lot like our stock market, note, once again the Patriots must have contributed more in bribes to the ref, as Flaco threw a TD pass late 4th QTR that was simply ignored by the refs, not to mention the silly holding call that nolified an interception by the Ravens in the first quarter that wound up costing the birds 3 points. The Patriots, like the big banks, get all the calls. LOL, NFL & Wall Street, no credibility. Warren GS Buffet equals Tom 'nip n tuck Brady, both thrive on inside info and croney shennanigans.
Whatever team Dick Bove picks, take the other team.
pain on the way regardless of who wins.
We could use reverse logic and say:
1. Market pain is on the way
2. Therefore the Giants will win
6 more weeks of kondratieffWinter, BiCheZ!
then: possible heavy flooding...
Punxatawney Slewie!
Niners! Pfft!
Difficult to say who to despise more. The idiot eggheads destroying the economy, or the idiot masses who lap up the drivel known as football.
Might as well enjoy it while you can, I guess. Pro sports is almost completely unproductive, and as such won't survive in the Darwinian world we are rapidly going back to.
