On Investing; The football game

Last week was the Super Bowl. (2008) The entire week was filled with analysis and speculation. Lots of statistics on past. Line play. Passes attempted and completed. Psychological analysis. And yes the usual hype. There was not too much dispute really. The New England Patriots were destined to win the game...very clearly.

The Giants won.

The reason was simple. The game was played in the future not the past. And on that night, the Giants were better.

The question I have. Why so much analysis on football, and so little analysis by most folks in investments? Investing has all the same elements. And. I would suggest that a little less fanaticism on football and a little more on trading...would produce dramatically better trading results.
