I probably don't have to tell you that Super Bowl XLVI is this Sunday. What you may not know, however, is that there's a lot more on the line than Tom Brady's place in NFL history, Eli Manning's status as an elite quarterback, and Madonna's relevance as a pop icon.
Even if you're not a football fan, you should care about the game if you're an investor. The Super Bowl is to stocks what the groundhog is to winter - a telling, if logically nonsensical, indicator of what's going to happen next.
Why? Because of a phenomenon known as the Super Bowl Stock Market Predictor.
Here's how it works: If the Super Bowl winner is an original NFL (National Football League) team, then U.S. stocks will rise that year. If the Super Bowl winner is a former AFL (American Football League) team, stocks will fall that year.
