Puggle Pup Worried About Investment Portfolio

The stock market has certainly bounced back from the troubling days of 2008, but many investors still tread conservatively.

After learning of some recent volatility, Daisy the puggle is concerned she may have been too bullish.

“She was very aggressive when she first started buying,” says Harold Luce, Daisy’s financial advisor. “I urged her to diversify, but she poured most of her money into companies that produce or sell bacon products.”

A slip in her portfolio has caused Daisy to rethink that strategy.

“You can’t think about investing with your heart,” says Luce. “You need to be cold and calculating, even if that means investing in cat-run companies.”

Golden Retriever Announces Bid for City Council

In an address to constituents on Wednesday, a golden retriever named Yuuko officially announced that she will run for city council.

“Yuuko’s top concerns are jobs and rising property taxes,” says Jon Combs, the dog’s campaign manager. “No one will fight harder for the middle class than she will.”

But she may not have to fight too hard for the job. The incumbent, Mark Cambria, has reached his term limit, and as of this writing, Yuuko is running unopposed.
