Can a rat be trained to outperform a human trader?
From artmarcovici.com
...the training was almost finished; the performances of the top 4 rats had turned out to be comparable to those of the world's best fund managers. Their ability to recognize sound patterns generated from the market's ticker tape was incredible.And the rat traders also hold another advantage: unlike their human counterparts, they are not likely to be distracted from news or economy fundamentals, their own personal or their bank's financial status.

They should make security that tracks the performance of the rats or setup a place where people can bet which rat will perform best.
Start a hedge fund, pay the rats in cheese, profit.
Wrong, you promise the rat a wheel of cheese 10 yrs down the line, but pay them in cheese wiz. Then when they're up for promotion you let them go and grab another rat. Don't be so generous.
Haha! Nice. +1 SB
10/10 not sure if real or not.
This is supposed to be performance art. It isn't real.
For the sake of an argument if this was real; keep in mind these rats are "trading" in a manner where success is measured in terms of returns only. If you have an infinitely large amount of money to trade the market then by default you will be able to beat all the traders whose returns are not at or above the average return. Don't forget these rats have no concept of a risk profile so as the number of traders beating the market by large amounts goes down (correlation goes up) the rats should be performing well above average.This is one of the reasons they are able to claim a 45%+ success rate over software and human traders. It's a unimodal distribution....or at least there is a really long tail.
