In 1951, Auric Godfinger, a monkey living on the island of Manhattan learned how to short a stock and taught the skill to others...so the story goes. When about 100 monkeys had learned the skill, the critical mass effect took place and suddenly all monkeys everywhere knew how to short stocks....even monkeys on the mainland and other islands. Many books have been writen about this phenomenom and there has even been a movie called the Hundreth Monkey. Skeptics have questioned the actual events and provide a slightly different version of what actually occured. It was actually 1952 when Auric Goldfinger learned how to short a stock and then other monkeys began to imitate the behaviour as their masters began opening brokerage house accounts in their names. Razorbak, a monkey owned by the 3 Amigos cited that critical mass has been attained when Max-90, a monkey of unknown ownership began to trumpet that he had indeed learned the ways. "I am getting more and more into the school of trading of if it moves buy and then sell,then short," proclaimed Max to Razorbak's delight. Scientific data, however puts the Hundreth Monkey Phenomenum in another light. Research has proven that the first monkey, Auric Goldfinger had indeed learned how to short a stock in 1952. By 1962, the monkeys able to short a stock numbered only 27 and by 1999 the troop had increased to about 51. Many monkeys observed, such as the 3 Amigos' monkey Razorbak - had indeed never actually shorted a stock although they were happily interacting with the fifty or so monkeys that had learned the skill. The jury is still out on the Hundreth Monkey Phenomenum as we await the group to reach critical mass...or not. Perhaps there actually is no real phenomenum at all. Perhaps it's a question of diet.
