From the entrails, the Haruspex would call out predictions regarding the stock market, often ordering specific actions, along with stock names and share prices for companies traded publicly on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, Euronext, and the Asian markets.

This rite would be performed in SSS Hall where Bonesmen dress in their robes and hoods. This information would be passed on to hedge-fund managers and private investors.
