    Why is clairvoyance always for useless stuff like stock prediction? Why can’t anyone do the important work of guessing the shape that’s on the card I’m holding??

      I know your joking but the answer to your question is intent. A lot of forms of divination are for seeking guidance in your life and a tool for being mindful of what you are doing and where you are going more meditative if that makes sense. The idea that it’s for picking the lotto numbers or a winning horse is rooted in greed so it doesn’t work because of the intent. Apparently you can game the system though by using people with no knowledge of the intent. Russel Targ had some success with trading silver using remote viewers. I remember hearing about RV people working together to pick stocks not sure if they where successful though.

          That’s a pretty big assumption if you had a system to always win or have better odds on the stock market why would you tell anyone about it?

          The Russel targ experiment I think there was a paper on it. It’s not even like a 100% sure thing either from memory they did slightly better than the silver market.
