Predicting the stock market is child's play

LONDON (Reuters) - A five-year old girl has beaten a
financial analyst and an astrologer in an experiment to
find the most accurate stock market predictions over a
year, organisers say.

Tia Lavern Roberts not only outperformed her fellow
participants in the National Science Week challenge but
defied a 16 percent drop in the FTSE 100 index with her
randomly selected shares.

Her fantasy 5,000 pound portfolio rose 5.8 percent,
while the one selected by analyst Mark Goodson lost
46.2 percent over the year. Astrologer Christeen
Skinner's portfolio dropped 6.2 percent.

Goodson used his years of expertise and computer
analysis, while Skinner based her selection on
planetary movements.

"During an unstable year for the stock market...Tia's
random selection has still managed to outperformed the
others," Richard Wiseman, a psychologist from the
University of Hertfordshire who devised the experiment,
said in statement.

Tia thought it was "wicked" that she'd beaten the
market, the statement said.

Her tips for this year's investors were Cadbury
Schweppes, Northern Rock, Prudential, Pearson and Shell
Transport.
