Remember when it was known that the condition of the US economy could be judged by the length (or lack thereof) womens' hemlines or the brightness of automobile colors on new cars?

Well...throw all that old science away; it's the new STEAKHOUSE INDEX: www.slate.com

555783 2007-06-04 03:44:00 Yes I remember and all these indicators are a waste of time. A coincidence if you will. What about the futures or the derivatives market? Can a steakhouse help determine a company if it should hedge its foreign currency exchanges?

The world's financial system is not just built on the stock market and there are many different variables to consider.

We all know that the stock market is controlled by the ticket sales count at Disneyland/Tokyo.
