Military Service and Big Pharma Stock Returns
By Victor Niederhoffer (2/23 11:26)
I posit a high positive but leading correlation between the lengthening of military service and the subsequent performance of big pharma stocks. The connection is most visible in fancy restaurants where the average age differential of the mixed-sex couples is 25 years with very wealthy men dining with apricot tarts according to a formula I quantified in EdSpec.
The low European countries with compulsory military service are particularly well represented here as the men there of marriagiable age have to go to the military and don't get enough salary to provide the economic wherewithal for the very attractive females until they're 35-ish when they marry off the most desirable 21s and 22s.
Now, when this tendency increases thru more compulsory or more frequent military service then the frequency of such liaisons increases. but this leads to women-on-top romance as the women are more active than the men in such groupings. But this is very bad for the digestive systems of males, and leads to digestive sickness, surgery, and chemicals administered thereafter.
Thus, the relation similar to Smith's soybeans ideas and Darwin's ideas that the number of cats through the clover bee chain determined the health of the British nation. --Vic
