We’ll be back to Portfolio in a sec– don’t act like you’re not dying to hear what we have to say about the “Mazel Top This” piece– but first, a small follow-up. Yes, the Tim Sykes con Models appearance on CNBC; much like the new business glossy, it’s finally arrived, against all odds, and only because a truck load of money was thrown (or earned, from $13,000 in Bar Mitzvah money to a pre-tax sum of over $1 mm) at the problem. The video is a bit grainy and embarassing, but then again, most low budget porn is.

    Wow. My opinion of this guy keeps dropping, and really I thought we hit the floor here. I love how the hosts kept trying to have him say something, anything, about his rationale for buying/holding/mentioning these and he would just keep saying “Look! The Chart, She Is So Beautiful!” like a brain-dead parrot. This guy can take the crown from Vayner and Vachon without breaking a sweat.

    DB^2, at least. Some serious higher power is involved in this amount of douchebaggery.

    He really has become a media whore. What makes it even worse is that fact that its one thing to be performing so horribly but its outside investors money you are managing, this kid comprises almost the entire value of his fund. You would think he would be a little more interested in trying to turn it around. I guess he is taking it as a sunk cost that is unrecoverable and saying to himself, “Let me milk this as long as I can, maybe I can find something I am better at?”
