My mood is also a good indicator for the global markets. I have been in an exceptionally good mood lately, so I am forecasting a 2% rise in both indices by Oct 22nd. This is largely based on the quality of my breakfast.

I would say that London Dude and I would have about the same chance of being proven right based on pure chance alone. It is all a big lottery anyways and anybody who claims he/she can find some logic behind it can possibly also explain Quantum Mechanics to me.

Mind you, I did pay for my entire sabbatical (and then some) by buying shares in early in 2009 and selling them by the end of that same year.
