Every once in a while, Some medium has to take a shot at our profession. How an investor could get better returns by throwing darts at the quotes page, or how a group of 5 monkeys outperformed 80% of professional money managers,…and now this, the mentally challenged actually have a proven advantage over the typical advisor…too funny!
