Monkeys Rule

Yesterday in my LSAT class we were doing a question, and it surrounded the idea that 

"humans are no better than apes at picking stocks in the stock market. A recent study involving 5 stock analysts and one ape showed that after 1 month, the ape had increased it's portfolio by $120. The highest increase of the group. The top analyst only increased their portfolio by $100." 

And man did I ever start laughing. At first I wanted to be quiet but you know the harder you try to stay quiet, the harder you laugh. I mean, just imagine a monkey working hard at a desk, crunching numbers, and Pearson and Favre sitting at their desks across from it, so frustrated by how hard it's kicking their asses. Brilliant.

Anyways, monkeys rule.
