Cookies and Stocks

Yesterday at work we've been working our way through a bunch of boxes of Girl Scout cookies that a guy left behind when he left the firm. I was eyeing the currently open box on the counter, which were the Do-Si-Dos, and asked if there were any other open boxes of something better, like Tagalongs or Thin Mints. One of the analysts was trying to figure out what I wanted, and I said "I'm looking to upgrade our cookie portfolio. Currently our allocations are about evenly distributed among all the varieties, and most of their positions look strong. However the Do-Si-Dos have been underperforming this quarter and I'd like to reallocate and phase them out." The analyst replied "yes, there's a strong sell on the Do-Si-Dos."


At work they are renovating our floor, so we're relocating to another floor way down for a year (no more amazing view for those of you who've visited me!). But this is nice--we get a gorgeous view of the Cathedral *and* any parades that go up Fifth Avenue. And there are marble counters!
