Susan Day is one of a small but expanding cadre of corporate psychic consultants--the professionalized face of an occupation better known for hokey headscarves and crystal balls.
But according to Newsweek Magazine, she's the real deal as heads of Fortune 500 companies seek out her services.
For a flat rate of $10,000 a month, Day's insight is available for rent. She has about five monthly clients at a time, offering them unlimited 24-hour access. In a typical call early last year, a prominent Wall Street money manager asked whether he should pull out of a risky, multi-million dollar energy deal or let his money ride.
"My gut," Day recalls saying, "is that you're not going to get your return." The money manager listened and yanked his investment, she says, just before the deal nose-dived.
The relationship between psychics and the powerful has always been close. In the bible, Joseph found favor with Pharoah by uncannily interpreting the Egyptian leader's dreams. Centuries later, the supposed forecasting abilities of Nostradamus and the "mad monk" Rasputin endeared both men to the upper classes.
