  • (Thematic - Economics) Chicago Tribune Stock Market Chronology, Anon.- Chicago Tribune, 1978
    From 1923 up to 1978, a look at the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with dozens upon dozens of world events, legislative actions and government statistics, all apparently meant to show potential causation and reaction, not just coincidence that cause market movement. This helps anchor our perceptions of market volatility being always moved by observable world events. Around this time a New York Times reporter, Leonard Koppett reported that you could faithfully predict the stock market based on the Super Bowl winner. ("Super Bowl Indicator - the stock market will increase in any year when the team from the National Football Conference wins the Super Bowl or if the Super Bowl winner was part of the NFL prior to the NFL-AFL merger. The indicator has correctly predicted the S&P 500 Index performance in 41 of 51 years, over 80% of the time.") Perhaps part of the role of this chart was to give investors a bigger view of the market's history and the actions that impact trends, and that's it's not just a rationalized gambling institution, and weighted toward the inevitable victory of enduring institutions. As the cycling trends appear to show on this chart, get in now for the almost certain increase in returns.
