This year, the American Football Conference [AFC] champion New England Patriots and the National Football Conference [NFC] champion New York Giants are in the Super Bowl XLVI held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The game used to be a popular indicator of the future of the stock market. The indicator states that if the NFC team wins, we will have a bull market this year, but if the AFC team wins, it will be a bear market. The indicator has been correct about 80% of the time.
Corporations are shelling out $3.5 million for a 30 second television commercial. Most of the companies that have chosen to advertise during the Super Bowl XLVI broadcast are publicly traded stocks, so if you think these companies will benefit from this advertising, now is the time to take a closer look at them and get a touchdown with your picks. Here is a list of the advertisers along with their stock ticker symbols.
Toyota ( TM ) has a couple commercials promoting its Toyota Camry, plus a Lexus ad. Toyota trades at 11 times forward earnings and yields 1.2%.
