LET'S HOPE IT'S THE RALLY MONKEY:
Monkeying with the Market (DAVID ROEDER, January 26, 2003, Chicago Sun-Times)The elegantly attired Mr. Adam Monk hunched over the Sun-Times' stock tables and was the very image of astuteness and probity.The 31-year-old alumnus of Duke University scanned the listings, occasionally erupting with an "Eeeeehhh!'' or an "aaahhhh.'' Sometimes he would gaze into the distance and chew thoughtfully on his pen.
It took some coaxing and cogitating but, at the Sun-Times' request, he marked his choices for the best-performing stocks of 2003. And now it's up to you, dear readers, to submit picks that will top his.
If your choices are better, we're sure Mr. Monk won't mind. He has a ready handshake and is very sociable, although he might climb on your shoulder and muss your hair.
Mr. Monk, you see, is a monkey. And he'll set the pace for this year's Sun-Times stock-picking contest, which we call Monkey Business.
What the heck, he can probably write better editorials than most of the folks at The Times. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 26, 2003 2:13 PM
When you say 'The Times', do you mean the 'New York Times' or 'The Times' (of London)?
I have to prod you on this because, reading this from the UK, you might start to seriously confuse your international readers!
Cheers,
The Times of Manhattan, of course. Though their website is much easier to use than the abomination on your side of the pond.
