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??
Two frogs on a bench.
It’s a couple of wavy lines?
Nope, Circle. presses shock button
Why did you draw dickbutt on the back of your business card?

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.
If you didn’t hear about the results it probably means they were either completely unsuccessful or extremely successful.
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.
I was making a joke but that was my point, that if they did really will they wouldn’t tell anyone…
Want to slap some context down?
Oil futures is a thing investors buy where you pay money now to have the right to buy oil at the current price later. If the price goes up, you can actually buy the oil and sell it at market value, making money. If the price drops, you only lose a little bit of money. In future trading, there is a huge advantage for being the first person to buy a future. No one is investing in oil right now becuase the blockade caused by the Iran war. Over the weekend, Trump tweeted that he was in negotiations with Iran to end the war, which would make oil futures profitable again. After his tweet, a ton of future sales happened really quickly. However, there was also a huge blip before his tweet. The only reason you would bother investing in oil futures before his tweet is if you knew he was about to tweet it. This is an illegal form of investing called insider trading, but it is something Trump has been suspected of doing several times since this term.
Judging just from the image and title, I’m guessing they’re demonstrating this as evidence that there’s insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.
This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.
The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.
a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.
At this point, I’d call unusual the lack of spikes like this in activity.
What we see here is pretty much the usual with this cunt.
Since the (source) FT article is paywalled:
Wow this whole time I thought conservatives were dumbasses and yet silly me look they are so smart they figured out how to see into the future!
At this point, I’d be surprised if clairvoyance wasn’t a taken as a serious explanation/defense in some quarters.
Pretty sure that’s Saddam Hussein.
It’s the ultimate proof that time travel was accomplished by the lizard aliens from Mars!!!

By the by, anyone know what Daryl Bem is up to these days?
