abstract:The Super Bowl Indicator is a superstition that says that the stock market's performance in a given year can be predicted based on the outcome of the Super Bowl of that year. It was "discovered" by Leonard Koppett in the '70s when he realized that it had never been wrong, until that point.
The most popular of these quirky relationships is the SuperBowlindicator, which basically says it's not Adam Smith's Invisible Hand moving the market, but Vince Lombardi's.
