Frank:

While I appreciate the sentiment, I find it questionable that any market
reacts to unrelated events. Sure its interesting, and can be the subject of
casual conversation over beers.

But perhaps those that trust is such superstition should rethink and find
value in that 2+2 has always equaled 4 since Cain slew Able.

If the numbers aren't there - for whatever reason - there is no profit.

Just a thought.......
