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.”

Puppy Enjoys Ke$sha, Doesn’t Care Who Knows It

A local puppy named Ninja has revealed that he listens to music by the pop singer Ke$ha, and not by accident.

“We’ve all heard Ke$ha come on the radio and forgot to change the station. It happens,” says Ninja’s friend Daniel Kutcher. “But Ninja has whole albums saved to his iPhone. Even the B-sides. He jams out to ‘Dirty Love’ all the time!”

Ninja claims the songs are catchy, fun and all about youthful abandon. What’s so wrong with that?

“She has a dollar sign in her name,” says Leila Childress, music critic for Time Out New York. “That’s what’s wrong with that.”
