Buying shares by star sign? I've tried it out.

A new app suggests suitable shares based on your star sign. What could possibly go wrong?

The stock market is as predictable as the horoscopes in astrology. So why not combine the two? The creative agency MSCHF has programmed an app that does just that. "Bull & Moon" is its name and its service sounds promising. "Our proprietary financial astrology algorithm recommends an optimal portfolio of six stocks and shows your compatibility score with thousands of other securities." Let's give it a try.

After downloading "Bull & Moon", you simply enter your first name, date of birth and investment experience. The app then spits out your personalised shares. The interface is beautifully designed and very easy to use. One of my suggestions was Cisco Systems, which is rated as follows:

To complete the test of "Bull & Moon", I treat myself to the suggested shares. Not with my hard-earned salary, of course. I don't have enough money for that, nor do I believe in horoscopes. On MarketWatch, you can make virtual stock market trades and gamble with imaginary money. So I buy the six shares for 20,000 dollars each. I'll keep an eye on my portfolio in the near future and keep you up to date: I'll give you an update on my investments in a month or so. Let's see if I get rich thanks to the prediction.
