Query of the Day, from Victor Niederhoffer

 With all the charlatans hawking the January barometer, randomly stating that the first month is predictive of the last last 11, how come we have never heard of a first day barometer, or a first week barometer? I believe Galton would have written on this in Natural Faculty.

Update: Indeed there is a first week barometer and it's much less consistent with randomness than the first month barometer, and of course it's opposite.
