Three years ago Niki was a stripper, first at Sapphire New York, then at HQ Gentleman’s Club, using the gig as “a way to advance her financial career,” and now? She’s running her own show and scoring triple digit returns so far this year, according to the latest letter to investors posted on her Facebook page. ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she should show us her assets. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Anyone remember that genius Lenny Dykstra? How about Ron Insana starting a fund of funds with SAC? Where are they now. It's not a sprint...except for the Wall Street morons. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BargainValueHunter Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Anyone remember that genius Lenny Dykstra? How about Ron Insana starting a fund of funds with SAC? Where are they now. It's not a sprint...except for the Wall Street morons. Cheers! Are you kidding? :) Everyone is starting a hedge fund!! Get in on the fun and excitement!! http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/08/07/8382584/index.htm When I arrived at the conference, there were about 150 people - mostly men -milling around Gotham Hall, a gilded event space near Manhattan's Penn Station, with a 50-foot-high stained-glass ceiling. Some attendees wore suits, others polos and khakis. A few looked as though they actually had a shot at success. One guy had a Metallica T-shirt. I wore a slinky black dress and heels because, hey, what better way to promote my soon-to-start hedge fund, No-Risk Blowout Capital, at a testosterone-teeming event like this? In booths circling the main floor were 15 hedge fund service providers. Two offered "one-stop solutions" for opening offshore funds in the Caymans and Bermuda; there were back-office outsourcers and law and accounting firms. (But seriously...as I've said before, the mainstream financial press is an invaluable source of contrarian insight. If you do the opposite of what is hot you will win more than you will lose.)

Baoxiaodao Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 One of the replies: "1. Give stripper money 2. ???? 3. Profit I don't know about the rest of you, but my business plan usually ends at 1." This is just a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCG Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Cramer's the street.com was actually charging people a lot of money to follow all of Dykstra's moves. They were selling a premium subscription to his options newsletter without doing any research on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpauls Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Tilson is a good example of how self promotion can make you a (thought to be) good investor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit I don't know about the rest of you, but my business plan usually ends at 1." This is just a joke. Funny. I was ready to write a post about giving people a chance and how not everyone is born into a great situation and sometimes has to turn to alternative means to pay for school and get through life. But then I read the article and if she's posting intraday updates and launching a music career I think we can safely say she is a lucky charlatan and proceed with the stripper jokes.
