Good post CB! Of a million monkey, half a million will be right on an either-or bet. One in a million will guess right 20 times in a row and be the smartest little monkey the world has ever seen.

Many SI investors are monkeys [about half]. The hard part is knowing which half and whether oneself is a monkey or not.

The answer is of course that we are each half monkey. But we don't know which half. [My furry forearms are a giveaway]. Half of what we get right is due to brains; experience, knowledge, thought, understanding, wisdom. The other half is due to luck [to a greater or lesser degree depending on the fur content of our forearms and brains].

It's a tough life living in the cyberspace jungle, wondering whether we are lucky or smart and not having a clue.
