To be honest, if the headline involves Katie Couric we’re probably not reading the story. That’s why we skipped Page Six’s scoop on Katie Couric’s new “boy toy” Brooks Perlin. But we shouldn’t have. The thirty-three year old Perlin is a three-time hedge fund washout, according to the Sixers.
Not only has Perlin worked for three Connecticut-based hedge funds in the last five years, he hasn’t had a full-time job since September, a source told the Post’s Marianne Garvey.
He last worked at Keel Capital Management in Stamford but left to start a Queens-based company that creates environmentally friendly, green-building products. Before that, the spin-class-obsessed triathlete worked for a short time at both Pequot Capital Management and Grange Park, a hedge fund that’s now closed..
The Sixers also note that Perlin has a history of dating older women so it may be slightly inappropriate to apply the “urban cougar” label to her. After all, cougars are predators and Couric may just be aging prey. But we have to admit we enjoyed underthecounter’s extended metaphor: “Dangerous animals stalk all corners of Wall Street. Tiger Cubs come to mind, and although Chase Coleman might be hitting the ball out of the park, not all Tiger Cubs are quite so fearsome. The latest big hunt on the Street involves a cougar.”
Note to UTC: next time include sharks, dogs, hogs, cows, vultures and John Mack.

Couric’s Guy Quick To Switch [Page Six]
Anne Coulter is the only cougar for me.
Now this should interest Bess: Brooks is a Williams alum. Go to town, girl.
There is a certain kind of man who prefers dating older women because it’s easier. It doesn’t take much effort to land an older woman. Basically, he’s lazy. I love cougars myself, but I don’t go after them. They go after me. There’s just something exciting about an ageing beauty ordering me to go down on her now…or else.
Older women were way more enticing when I was a younger man. Now if I want an older woman, I’ll stay home and have sex with my wife.
Half your age, plus seven years, that’s the rule.

amen ..
Where in god’s name is Bess?
I say: if she got it, flaunt it!! And if he makes her happy, where is the harm in that?
And why are we all over her business anyways?
UTC’s comment is interesting since both Chase and Brooks went to college together (Chase ’97, Brooks ’96)
By the way, I liked Chase, couldn’t stand Brooks…
