There’s a saying that skirt length is an economic indicator. Short skirts means the market is going up, long skirts means down. It’s a correlation which may just be a flight of fancy. But in department stores and on Presidential candidate’s wives right now, I’m spotting a fashion trend that is just waiting for a correlation: long jackets over skirts. And I mean really long jackets, practically the same length as the skirt itself, whether long or short. Can that be the indicator for a choppy stock market?
