A palm-sized idol carved from black-market bullion and whatever material was binding the vault walls in the subprime years. It is warmer than it should be, and the eye sockets track the nearest screen whenever a number turns red.

Reveals future market trends and causes minor existential dread.
The Pocket Prophet of Profit is a tarnished golden idol small enough to fit in your hand, though doing so comes with whispers of premonitions and market anomalies. Legends claim it was smuggled out during the final minutes of an infamous financial collapse, clutching secrets that could predict futures… or end them. Rumor has it that it was once owned by a Darth Dick, vice president from an imperial empire located in a far far far away galaxy.
This item cannot be bought. It finds you, usually after strange dreams involving quarterly reports and a subway station with no exits.
“I asked it what to invest in. It laughed. Three weeks later, my hedge fund turned into a literal hedge.”
Chronicle
Reputedly forged under Wall Street in the fourth quarter of 2007, during the long weekend when the lights never came back up. The original custodian was a CFO who signed two resignation letters before his own, neither of them his, and he has not aged since. Holding the idol long enough grants clear forecasts of near-future markets; letting go becomes measurably harder each time.
