The Puma Stock Index, Now With More Strippers

If anything takes the sting out of watching your stock portfolio faceplant, it's probably a gorgeous model shedding her clothing while bouncing on a trampoline.

Or a trio of stunning fashionistas engaging in a pillow fight, or a sultry, sleepy underwear model languishing in bed. In fact, had these elements been present on Black Tuesday in 1929, it might not have started raining stockbrokers.

This is the idea behind Puma's new stock index -- a real-time, online stock ticker that features underwear models shedding and donning clothing as the market fluctuates.

As the Puma people put it, "The Puma Index is a global stock ticker with a twist. When the market goes down, our models' clothes come off, all the way down to their Puma Bodywear. So if you lose your shirt, at least they do, too."
