Humor: January, Friday the 13th, 2012.

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 28, 2011 - In one of the greatest investment markets in the world, namely, New York, the influence of speculation (in the above sense) is enormous. Even outside the field of finance, Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be; and this national weakness finds its nemesis in the stock market.

What does the average speculators and investors believes that the average opinion will be about Friday the 13^th, 2012?

Answer: Although no speculator or investor is superstitious, it would bring bad luck, they believe that the average of speculator and investor is. Hence the Financial Market is superstitious.

Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences,  are the slaves of some defunct economist while mad men in authority are distilling the frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. Those who did design the Mayan and Gregorian Calendars.

It is therefore likely that the irrational exuberance of the markets will be stopped dead by irrational beliefs.
