Tom,

I can't help but notice that young simians and indeed newly crowned royalty outperform the silverbacks. I think that there exists a clear reason that is outlined in the field manual. It deals with threats to the CAP of some of the silverbacks starting to show up on the horizon.

I'd have to see specific examples citing time frames and stock performance to fully appreciate what you're pointing out. Be forwarned though that it's a loaded question when I ask about it. :)

By limiting it to "some simians" that outperform the silverbacks, I bet I can name two that don't for every one you name that does. And remember that if my two lose 50% of their stock value your one has to make up for it by gaining 100%.

Seriously, it's all a matter of risk and reward. I thought I'd mention that before my buddies LindyBill and Frank jump in with their reminder to all of us that nothing probably matches the combination of safety and opportunity of a silverback. And I won't be surprised if I'm already too late. :)
