FILE _ This is a file photo of Spain's goalkeeper Iker Casillas, center, as he holds up the World Cup trophy with team members as they celebrate their victory at the end of the World Cup final soccer match between the Netherlands and Spain at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa. Winning the soccer World Cup can bring instant rewards to that country’s stock market investors. But they better be quick as the post-victory rally doesn’t last long. That’s the conclusion of investment bank Goldman Sachs, which published a wide-ranging report late Tuesday May 27, 2014 on the World Cup and its economic impact. Goldman Sachs analysts found “a clear pattern of out performance by the wining team in the weeks after the World Cup final.” On average, the investment bank’s portfolio strategy team the victor outperforms the global market by 3.5 percent in the first month.
