Wall Street rooting for Packers United Press International - January 19, 1998 18:22 %DOMESTIC %SUPER %STOCKS V%UPI P%UPI NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (UPI) - The nation's economy is showing signs of strength, profits are up, earnings are strong and the Asian crisis is showing signs of stabilizing. But Wall Street is waiting for the first key test of the new year. The outcome of Sunday's Super Bowl XXXII. Analysts with Standard & Poor's Corp., the investment and corporate rating service, have no stated favorite for the big game but Wall Street's ''Super Bowl Theory'' is a winner, according to one of S&P's leading stock market analysts, Frank W. Slusser. Slusser, a former stock market writer for United Press International, claims an accuracy rate of 90 percent in predicting stock market performance for the remainder of the year based on the outcome of the 32 year-old NFL championship. According to ''Slusser's Theory,'' as it has become known, ''Wall Street is rooting for Green Bay.'' Slusser said, ''With almost 100 million households expected to watch the game...whenever AFC wins, S&P loses for the year''. The NFC has defeated the AFC in the past 13 consecutive Super Bowls. Slusser has been right 28 years out of 30, with the exception of 1984, when the AFC Los Angeles Raiders won 38 to 9 over the Washington Redskins. In 1997's Super Bowl XXXI, when Green Bay beat New England 35 to 21, the Dow Average jumped 22.64 percent. In the first Super Bowl game in 1967, NFC Green Bay beat AFC Kansas City, 35 to 10. The S&P Index jumped 20.1 percent for the year. -- Copyright 1998 by United Press International. All rights reserved. --

>>It is a sad day indeed. I sympathize with you, but gladly can't empathize. I hope you haven't been too long without a sync. I've had a couple of false alarms, and sweated bullets on "what did I add since the last sync", and "did I have private records locked". I would be a lesser being without my PilotBroker. Also, I hope the cause for your hospital stay was not serious, or has been happily resolved. >>The hospital is cutting me a check for the full cost. I hope it's not Columbia/HCA, or you'll have to get in line. <ggg>

Sad Pilot story--- Paul writes, about his Pilot, "When I shake it. it sounds like a box of broken potato chips. :-( The screen is shattered. The hospital is cutting me a check for the full cost." I broke a screen, in a stupid accident. It can be repaired for $100, with less than a week turnaround to 3Com's shop. Although yours sounds rather more busted up than mine, if you still have the broken unit, it might be worth checking into. A spare Pilot might be handy, after all. Dick
