Thanks for visiting my blog.. Ok so can you really tell me whether anyone has got more gold or accumalated assets becos they got gold on that day..As far as i know see its all the psychology of the humans.. When you buy something on an auspicious day, you believe that it will happen in a positive manner.. so you have trained yourself psychologically to think that only good will happen in that particular event. sometimes by nature or anything if something bad happens you blame the innocent stars..... anyways am not against anything but its just my rationalism. keep visiting my blog.. thanks
