Why the stock market needs psychics is beyond me. They already have their own well-established mediums of the money, those who practice so-called "technical analysis". This is the widespread belief that where the market is going can be predicted by seeing where it went, with much arcane mumbo- jumbo. Its practitioners study charts of market movement the way astrologers study the planets, with about the same effect.
