This looks great. Train your pet to invest for you.

They're based off a P.O. Box and unregistered phone number in the Caymans - you know you can trust that.

Looking under the methodology, all the rats seem to average out around 50% successful... And one got 40%? Did they train him wrong? Even a blind guess who statistically do better.

The most successful rat [Mr Kleinworth Morgan Jr.] has 56.8% success, and his offspring [with Mss Coutts Lehmann JR. 3, 53.2%] all do worse than their parents - is stock trading a dominant gene or something?

And more pressing, are they going to breed the successful cousins to each other? Or are we going to have to marry off our dearest Mss Kleinmann to a rat below her station?

All negativism aside, it looks pretty nifty and I hope they're making some money out of this. If I had more spare money, time, and lived closer to the pet store, I might try breeding my own stock-trading rat dynasty...

This is hilarious, it looks like an article from The Onion. Unfortunately, I'm willing to bet there are some idiots out there that will actually buy into this stupid system....

Another draw back is that it takes nearly a year and a half to get the rat ready to trade. A healthy rat will only live three years.
You could try different species... A gambian pouched rat lives about seven years, but is currently illegal to import to the US. And a roof-rat (rattus rattus) is a lot smarter than the typical lab rats (rattus norvegicus) that they are currently using.
