There is a fool-proof method for gleaming stock market forecasts from information relating to past performance, be that the Christmas LFL trading improvement (or not). In fact, this method will work equally well for trading from the day before as well. One need only access the Universal Equation for all Matter/Dark Matter and all matter/energy adjacent entities/non-entities/deferred entities - you slot those variables into the UEMDM and out pops your prediction. As proven by fools - otherwise, find a cephalopod or dart board or rune stones or chicken's liver because the stock market's chief variable is the "confidence" that "the masters of the universe" display, mostly by following each other like sheep or following sheep's entrails, whichever is closer to hand. Yes, there are long-term winners but one wonders what additional access to what additional information the super investors like Buffet have acquired - to say nothing of insider trading, to say nothing of legalised insider trading. Tulip Bulb bubble, early dotCom bubble and, coming to an asylum near you soon, Twitter/X/Ex Twitter bubble followed closely by Tesla bubble .... guesswork - more or less informed but all of it guesswork
