What they're saying: "Pats fans might be ecstatic that Tom Brady is starting in a record-breaking ninth Super Bowl, but market bulls don't want to see the Pats win. Stocks are up only 1.5% for the year on average after a victory versus up 2.9% if they lose," said LPL senior market strategist Ryan Detrick. "Tom might be terrific, but maybe not in all markets."
