CHILL PIES

Visually, I loved creating this anagram. To be sure, matching this depiction to the stock market was easier then KEY LIMES. To chill something is to cool it. And pies can be more then food; they also refer to pie charts utilized in businesses. Pie charts are graphs used to evaluate/measure statistical analysis. Credit for the earliest graphical methods of statistics including pie charts goes to William Playfair (a Scottish engineer) in 1801. Also, Florence Nightingale is known for her utilization of pie graphs in her statistician work; she is credited for the reconfiguration of the circular chart still in use today. For that reason, could I than conjecture that the Spinnerette - Chill Pies might signify the Stock Market maybe cooling? Again I make no predictions, only lighthearted riddles to unravel.
