Is it true that a smart monkey outperformed wall street brokers? For obvious reasons, I am particularly interested in the monkey’s
species.
Thanks a million,

Outperformeed Wall Street brokers at what? Choosing stocks? Throwing feces? Having sex? Eating tacos?
A little more information would be nice. However, if this is one of those “I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend” kind of things, I’m inclined to say “No”.
No offense, but I don’t think the reasons are obvious. 
His reasons would entirely depend on the answer to your other question:
My bet is on Bonobos, regardless.
What the Oikster may be refering to is the competition the Journal has each year to choose stocks. basically, in a bull market any fool can make money because a random selection of stocks will appreciate in value. Therefor, you don’t only have to make money as a stock picker, you have to beat the random selection. The random selection at the Journal is reputed to be made by a chimp throwing darts at the stock section of the paper, thus randomly picking a portfolio. The million dollar men have to beat the chimp.
It’s not actually a chimp. It’s a WSJ staffer. Oh, wait a minute . . .
