Years ago I'd pass a major rail crossing where trains would sometimes block cars. I noticed the length and frequency of the freight trains correlated with future stock market trends.
My kids' money is doing great. Among other investments, each has owned UPS -- now >$200/share! -- in his acct since about 2010 during the Great Recession. I figured UPS was pretty bullet proof if the economy worsened and would grow with eCommerce. For the decade, it's been at least a 3-bagger for them + dividends.

BTW, I'll guarantee that your FDX kid is making more per hour than my young CPA son.
