    As 'Vanity Fair' Goes, So Goes The Stock Market In The Opposite Direction

    vanity%20fair%20cover.jpgWhen Vanity Fair's ad pages are up, a stock market slump is imminent. At least, that's what the enterprising (or totally nutter) souls at Brandweek have concluded:

    VF's March 2007 Hollywood edition ("Our Biggest Issue Ever!") clocked in at 500 pages. During the week of Feb 26, 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average collapsed, from 12,647 to 12,114. (Remember that the magazine hits the streets the month before its pub date). VF's previous largest issue was its April 2001 Hollywood edition, with 430 pages. In the week of March 19, 2001, the Dow tanked from 9,820 to 9,504.
    No wonder Graydon Carter invested in the Waverly Inn. Also he was behind 9/11.
