  1. He doesn't count getting up in the morning and seeing himself in the mirror as a losing trade?

  2. Keep your political bullshit in the P&R forum and stop the pollution of the boards.

    Two years of no losers? Does he say how much he can bench? Did he get a masters from Wheaties? Does he ask for the finest meats and cheeses?

    :D :D :D

    Maybe Lenny just "forgot" to talk about his losses.

    Direct quote from Moneyball:

    The point about Lenny [Dykstra], at least to Billy [Beane], was clear: Lenny didn't let his mind screw him up..."Lenny was so perfectly designed, emotionally, to play the game of baseball.", said Billy. "He was able to instantly forget any failure and draw strength from every success. He had no concept of failure. And he had no idea of where he was. And I was the opposite."

  5. Nothing to do with politics. I was stating a known fact. Most crooks like this guy, serial killers, child molesters are usually illiterate obese ( like this guy http://tradersparadise.blogspot.com/) neocommies.

    There is a high correlation that has to be taken into context when deciding whether to invest or take someones investment advise. Madoff is an interesting aberration.

    Bottom of the ninth, two out.

    Lenny Dykstra is the Met's final hope.

    Heres the pitch

    He swings and makes contact

    The ball is in the air

    Its going, its going...

    To be caught by the shortstop.

    Mets lose 13-0.



    I think that pretty much sums up nails investments.

  7. Poor Lenny...now he's selling stuff on Craigslist:

    If you buy it, you will get a personal phone call. But he'll probably just say "F#ck you!" :p



    It looks like Lenny Dykstra is down to his last strike.

    The former Met star is taking a desperate hack at raising some money by hawking memorabilia on Craigslist.

    Dykstra, 47, hopes a diehard Amazin' fan will shell out $3,200 for a framed, autographed montage highlighting his days with the Mets and Phillies.

    But wait, there's more.

    "If you purchase this item, you will also receive a personal phone call" from Dykstra, the ad says.

    Dykstra's initial reply to questions about the sale was "F--- you." He later suggested, "The Post should buy the stuff."

    Dykstra has been in dire financial straits for years. He filed for bankruptcy last year and had to sell his 1986 World Series ring

  8. :D

    You'd think he could have stashed away some cash after that incredible options strategy winning streak he was on!

    Can't believe thestreet.com every endorsed this guy...what an epic failure.
