Ever hear of "moon" trading? The theory is that the moon's phase affects human emotion. Supposedly, emotions are very high on the new moon (hence SELL), and very low on the full moon (hence BUY).

I did back testing on it to the first of this year, and it worked quite well. It worked even better if you skipped every other cycle.

October full moon was on 10/5 (Buy), Oct. new moon on 10/20 (skip), November full moon on 11/5 (skip), Nov. new moon 11/19 (SELL).

What the hell. It does a helluva lot better than following fundamentals.
