Looking for predictors of stock market direction? How about butter production In Bangladesh? Not kidding, this is an indicator, along with the Super Bowl indicator, the ladies hemline indicator and others that actually have higher correlation success than many big name mutual fund manager predictions. According to its adherents, taking the change in butter production in Bangladesh and multiplying it by two will give you the exact percentage by which the S&P 500 Index will change in the year ahead. Steve and Sinclair review this indicator along with several others, including the "nationality-of-the-model-on-the-Cover-of-the-Sports Illustrated-bathing suit-issue indicator." (This indicator has outperformed the S & P considerably by the way.)

In the Q & A, Sinclair grills Steve with some tough questions on annuities and how they fit in today's retirement portfolios.
