MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

In 2012, an experiment was held in which professional Stockbrokers chose stocks against a cat to which who was better, the cat won.



The professionals chose stocks based on their years of experience
Orlando the cat chose by batting his favorite toy onto a grid of number that represented different companies
The professionals were in the lead for most of the year
From September through the end of the year, however, Orlando’s portfolio increased by an average of 4.2%
In the end, the professionals had earned £5,176.60 compared to Orlando’s £5,542.60



MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
