@Barcode：Fun and intriguing stock market fact that I've known about for many years; Superstitious Intriguing Markets: The stock market isn’t free from superstitions. The “Friday the 13th” effect suggests lower stock returns on this date due to widespread beliefs, and some traders avoid making large trades during certain astrological events, showing how psychology can influence trading behavior. While many think of the number 13 as unlucky, it actually has a rich history of being considered quite lucky. For example, in Judaism, 13 is a number bursting with significance and positivity. Jewish children celebrate their Bar/Bat Mitzvah at 13, marking their transition to adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it. When Israel was established in 1948, its first provisional government had 13 members because they believed it would bring them good fortune. Even more fascinating, in ancient Egypt, 13 was linked with the afterlife and transformation. Egyptians viewed life as a spiritual journey with 12 stages, and the 13th stage represented a joyous transition to an eternal afterlife. This stage was seen as a positive transformation, not something to be feared. In early French history, before World War I, 13 was also considered a lucky number. It was commonly featured on postcards and charms as a symbol of good fortune. Additionally, in France today, Friday the 13th sees a spike in lottery ticket sales, with many people considering it a day of potential luck and big wins. Taylor Swift considers number 13 to be her lucky number, often referencing it. Swift stated in an interview, "I was born on the 13th, I turned 13 on Friday the 13th, my first album went gold in 13 weeks. Also, my first song that ever went number 1, it had a 13 second intro, I didn't even do that on purpose! And every time I've ever won an award at an award show, I've either been seated in the 13th row, or row M, which is the 13th letter. And when I won the Horizon Award at the CMA awards, the producer came up to me when I was sound-checking and he said, 'Alright, we're gonna go in 13 seconds! For myself personally, 13 has always been extremely lucky. I was born on 6/7 (=13). My Dad’s birthday was on the 13th, and many of the trades I make use .13 or derivatives of, for the strike price, which has brought me significant success. My way of keeping my Dad with me who was keen investor and loved playing on the stock market. We always bonded over our excitement and enthusiasm in various stocks, especially when I for a stock broker in Perth, Western Australia. I was given an iPhone 13 on December the 13th as a gift, this was unexpected and unplanned. The 13th of a month and 26th (13 is a prime number of 26), of any given month has always proven to be lucky for myself. Today (26 May) I won $107 in a draw. So, the next time someone frets about Friday the 13th, you can surprise them with these intriguing facts about how 13 was once, and continues to be, a symbol of luck and new beginnings.
