Note that here, as is the case in a number of the other miracles, the miracle is not the point of the story.

People have extraordinary good fortune, or insight.
Wonderful things happen.
Some people see them as coming from the bountiful hand of God. For the past two decades, people have been making extraordinary fortunes on Wall Street. Some of these fortunes are manipulated and some are based on significant and deliberate research, but a large number of them are pretty miraculous.

They caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.
