CAN A MONKEY
BEAT WALL STREET?
Two random darts each US trading day: SPY as an S&P 500 proxy and one name from a declared 50-stock watchlist. No hindsight, no edited misses, and absolutely no credentials.
THE OFFICIAL SCORECARD
| Date (NY) | Market / Stock | Dart | Day move | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-12 | CAT Stock | DOWN | -0.14% | HIT |
| 2026-10-12 | SPY S&P proxy | UP | -0.06% | MISS |
THE RULES (NO FUNNY BUSINESS)
1. One stock is chosen at random from a published, frozen 50-name US large-cap watchlist. A separate independent random direction is chosen for SPY, an ETF proxy for the S&P 500. The 50-name watchlist is not an automatically updated top-50 ranking. Neither selection reflects a model, investment recommendation or human judgement.
2. UP means the stock's closing price for the named NYSE trading session is higher than the prior NYSE session's closing price. DOWN means lower. Unchanged closing prices score as misses. The same unadjusted close source is used consistently.
3. Predictions are logged before settlement. Results appear only once actual market prices can be verified. Publication timestamps and SHA-256 event-chain entries are retained privately for audit. Revealed random seeds allow independent reproduction of settled picks.
4. This is financial entertainment, not a portfolio, investment performance, personalised advice, or a prediction with any demonstrated edge. Never make investment decisions based on a cartoon monkey.
