Q.5 Sara is a stockbroker and psychic. She claims that she provides clients with stock market advice which is in good harmony with a client's "aura" and "karma" and which is attuned to the client's own personal astrological chart. Daniela is a bit wary of these claims, but decides to invest with Sara for a trial period of one year. She purchases five stocks, on Sara's advice. At the end of the year Daniela checks to see whether she could on an average depend on Sarah's psychic abilities for investment decisions.
