Share Monkey
A person that plays the stock market like the roll of a dice. A Share Monkey selects a company share with no regard to fundamentals and who has no ability or understanding of the associated company. Has little or no understanding of business operations, the stock markets or equities. A Share Monkey will select a stock on a whim using such criteria if there is a R in the month or the cows are facing into the wind.
The term Share Monkey is derived from the statement if you get sufficient monkeys and an infinite amount of time then eventually one of them will reproduce a line from the works of Shakespeare, in a similar way a Share Monkey will eventually select a line of winning stock.
Variations: US; Stock Monkey
