Stripper Turned “Hedge Fund Manager” Smoking The Competition

By

Though they’ve got three more months to turn things around, 2011 is on track to be a year most hedge fund managers would like to forget, performance-wise. John Paulson can’t catch a break, Whitney Tilson is having PTSD flashbacks to 2008 and even among those making money, the gains are a measly 3 or 4 percent a month. One investor who stands out from the crowd? Marx NY Capital founder Niki M. 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.

Though she won’t disclose her strategy, managers who could use a little get up and go this quarter, lest your LP’s redeem en masse, ought to take a gander at some of Niki’s investing pearls of wisdom.

That Marx not only makes the market her bitch but also provides intraday updates and has time to launch a music career should be a wake up call to you all.

    She obviously has a tremendous amount of raw investment talent that just needs a bit of mentoring and guidance while she fully matures. Maybe someone could introduce her to Lenny Dykstra who could bring in his years of street-honed experience as well as build a first-class back office. They could potentially be the new Graham/Dodd of the investment world.
