Yesterday was the second Friday the 13th (13 March) in year 2009 and the previous one was in February. The next Friday the 13th is in November as there are altogether three Friday the 13ths in year 2009.

Many superstitious people believe that Friday the 13th is a bad luck day. However, it turned out to be a very lucky day to the stock market investors especially in Asia. Reason being that the second Friday the 13th in 2009 had the biggest one-day gain in Asia this year.

Suddenly a ray of hope was shining down on the regional markets and enabling the stock market investors to enjoy the biggest one-day gain. Many traders were rushing back into the stock markets to buy the shares of the battered banks as well as blue chips.

Some people believe that the cause of the abrupt spark in the Asian stock markets is due to the Wall Street’s strong three-day rebound marks which is a key turning point for the global financial markets.

Therefore, you can see that Friday the 13th is not always a bad day and it could turn out to be a very lucky and profitable day instead 🙂
