Would football pundits make better stock tipsters?

As a group, stockmarket tipsters don’t make particularly good forecasters. Neither do football pundits. Perhaps the football pundits should made stock recommendations.
Yesterday, in thelondonpaper (if you’re not familiar with London’s free sheets this is the one you can use as toilet paper because the print doesn’t come off), Gavin Peacock showed potential.
The former QPR, Chelsea and Charlton midfielder wrote in defence of of Martin Jol, Tottenham Hotspur’s “most successful Premier League manager”, booted out with Spurs third from bottom in the league table. He said the Spurs board:
“…have looked at a snapshot of his reign then acted, rather than taking a stockmarket-type approach to it and looking at the overall trend.”
Gavin Peacock, you’ve missed your vocation. Such cool-headed, rational, long-term vision is in short-supply. The stockmarket needs you.
