Valentine's Day Romance Index
Stock picks for richer or poorer.
Let's face it: Men are required by convention to do most of the heavy lifting around Valentine's Day, mostly to make up for all the things they've done, or will do, the remaining 364 days of the year. Viewed through the prism of stock-market investing, analyst (females) expectations are historically far higher than a company's (males) ability to execute. And therein lies the investment opportunity.
How can a smart Valentine monetize her floundering partner's missteps? Minyanville unveils 2 investment indexes specifically designed to capture the wide range of Cupid's romantic dreams... and disappointments.
