Re: Investing Theory
Kathleen, that was spectacular. What a great Christmas gift for the board. Thank you!
This is such a profoundly important idea.

Re: Investing Theory
Kathleen,
That was very funny and right on target. However I strongly suspect that the monkey on the left would still demand grapes even if it did not have to work for it. We call that wealth redistribution.

Do we really need to cage primates to learn this "valuable" research lesson?

Cruelty to animals.
Obviously those monkeys are intelligent. It is wrong to keep them imprisoned in cages and then torment them.
I say put the researchers in cages and peform the same experiments on them. See how they like being forced to perform a menial task for a lousy piece of cucumber.

Re: Investing Theory
Hilarious and I love that monkey on the left who put on a great show. I bet any owner of two or more dogs, cats, etc., will recognize this behavior and with the same food. Must be a grass-is-greener component to it. Also wonder, knowing how animals' personalities vary, if another monkey as envious as the one on the left would've expressed her frustration the same way. Whatever, thanks for the video and good laughs.
