Seriously, if you can't make a go of it now you would have been chewed up and spat out in the "good old days".

Agreed. The problem is people are generally lazier now though. To get the info 30 years ago meant collecting it yourself. Now its all presented to them.
This means the competition is more sophisticated yet still lazy. If you can go the extra step its not impossible for a monkey to profit on the punt.
I can do it and if my wife is to be believed a monkey is actually smarter then me (Its taken years and I still can't learn to put my clothes in the basket). |
