Puppy Keeps an Eye on His Stock Portfolio

Puppy Keeps an Eye on His Stock Portfolio

When it comes to building wealth, the high risk, high reward world of stocks is a great avenue to explore. Cooper, a Pug from Chicago, IL has been hooked on the markets ever since he opened an E*Trade account last year.

“He’s always on the computer checking his stocks,” said Eric Burke, a close friend. “And he’s got active investments in Asia, too, so he’s up all hours.”

While the dog has managed to build considerable wealth over the past 9 months, it has taken a toll. According to Burke the pup has lost a few friends because of his obsessive market-watching, and he’s starting to go prematurely gray around the tail area.

“All he ever talks about is stocks. It can get annoying,” said Burke. “Last week I asked Cooper if he wanted to go to the movies, and his response was to email me a chart detailing the stock performance of AMC Theaters vs. Netflix.”
