- kuupäevi on aastas 12, reedeid on iga 7 päeva tagant. Seega keskmiselt võiks olla aastas reede ja 13.-ndaid 1.7 tükki. Kuna selliste kuu- ja nädalapäevade kombinatsioonid ei ole just kuigi tihedad, siis ilmselt selle tõttu inimesed kipuvadki neil päevil tavapärasest ebausklikumad olema. 2009. aastal on ebausklikke inimesi aga õnnistatud - 13. ja reedeid on meil sel aastal lausa 3 tükki (13. veebruar, 13. märts ja 13. november), mis on ka maksimaalne võimalik selliste kuu- ja nädalapäevade kokkusattumiste arv aastas. 2009. aastale sarnaselt on kolme 13. ja reedega rikkad veel aastad 1998, 2012, 2015, 2026 ja 2037.
Another theory about the origin of the superstition traces the event to the arrest of the legendary Knights Templar. According to one expert:
The Knights Templar were a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E., whose mission was to protect Christian pilgrims during the Crusades. Over the next two centuries, the Knights Templar became extraordinarily powerful and wealthy. Threatened by that power and eager to acquire their wealth, King Philip secretly ordered the mass arrest of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th.

Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
-- Tom Landry
Despite all the government action, economic news and loud debates, the key to this market is one rather simple thing: Investors have little confidence. You can see this in the sentiment, the reaction to news and in the charts.
Considering that we hear stories every day confirming that this is the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, it would be surprising if market players were feeling fat and happy. We are unlikely to see the sort of confidence that flourishes in a bull market for a while, but what we might see -- and what we have to watch for -- is greater hope that some of these government moves may be meaningful.
Even if you have little confidence in the bank bailouts and stimulus spending, as I do, they can still have a positive impact on the market for a period of time by affecting the mood of the market. We don't even need any real belief in the merits of these plays. We just need to have folks believe there are others who do. After the ugly downside action we have had, no one wants to be left behind when we finally do see better action, so a little spark of confidence can get things moving if the news flow improves and a small group of people start to believe that something substantive is really being done on the economic front.
As always, we need to let the market be our guide. The huge late-day reversal yesterday on news of a housing bailout plan pulled us back from some technical danger. The S&P 500 was looking set to close below a key technical line that connected the bottoms in November, January and February, but the index recovered just in the nick of time. A one-day reversal like that is a positive, but we are still just barely hanging onto these support levels. There is no good upside momentum, and charts of individual stocks are not very interesting.
I harp on this quite often because it is so important: We need leadership. Some of the big-cap technology stocks like Apple (AAPL) , Google (GOOG) and Baidu (BIDU) have been acting a bit better, but there aren't any pockets of momentum out there. It is when those pockets start to spread to other sectors of the market that we see good, solid, lasting uptrends build. So far, there is no sign of that happening, which means we have to stick to the daytrading if we want to play. If you are longer term, there still is little reason to be jumping in here.
We have a mild start this morning as investors contemplate this new mortgage plan but also struggle with more and more poor economic news and worries about banks. I'm looking for a choppy but relatively quiet day compared to yesterday.
