Lenny Dykstra: Stock Market Whiz
Did anyone happen to catch the segment on Lenny Dykstra last night on Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel? It was about how Lenny has become a renowned expert on finance and investing, and has turned himself from a mere millionaire into a multi-multi-millionaire.
I've known for a while that Dykstra was into investing because of his column on TheStreet.com, but I'd always thought that was a pure gimmick since JBL also has a column on the same site and I assumed they couldn't both be financial whizzes. But maybe that was wrong. Jim Cramer said on the show that there are only three or four people in the world whose stock picks always get his attention, and that Dykstra is one of them. Cramer isn't exactly unbiased since he owns TheStreet.com, but still. I guess I just don't know what to believe anymore.
On camera, though, Dykstra comes off as being as much of a dumb jock as he ever was. He slurs his speech like an ex-boxer and curses constantly. He's put on tons of weight and now bears an amazing resemblance to Biff in Back to the Future II.
In other news, Dykstra said on camera that he had never used steroids. Then, off camera (but not off the record) a few minutes later, he told the correspondent that he had just lied.
