Bad things often happen to good people, but why would anyone take advice from a guy who is bankrupt? Lenny Dykstra famously lost his house and fortune last year in a very public bankruptcy and at one point the judge ordered a trustee to take control of Dykstra’s assets because Lenny seemed a bit, um, well, aloof. Lenny claimed that he got bad advice from a mortgage broker and was a victim of fraud. I do not know if the allegations are true or not, but one thing I do know is that you do not buy a house you cannot afford, he clearly could not afford it, and then claim fraud.

Lenny famously wrote for the TheStreet.com under the watchful (?) eye of Jim Cramer who had nothing but praise for Lenny. That is, of course, right up until his bankruptcy hearing when he was quickly and quietly let go from Cramer’s outfit. You would think after such a public display of horrors Lenny would simply just go away to rebuild his life somewhere, but that is not to be. Apparently Dykstra decided that he needs to get back up on that horse and has started a website to sell his top picks.

The service for Lenny’s top picks range from $899 to $1548 a year, depending if you pay monthly or all upfront. For this service you get access to Lenny and a signed baseball as a value add proposition, ever hear of Ebay? Regardless, his website mainly brags about his baseball achievements and his prowess as a deep in the money option player, but you have to pay to find out how good he is. What his site leave out is the facts regarding his own personal financial problems.

While I could never hold a personal financial issue over someone’s head or a string of bad luck, maybe he was a victim of fraud, but to omit such information is sketchy to me. If he was so good at picking winners, he boasts a track record of 140-0, how could you lose your home? I honestly wish Lenny the best, but why anyone would trust his picks or why he would omit his public financial problems is just dirty pool, in my opinion. Everyone is entitled to make a living doing what they do best and, in this case, perhaps Lenny should go back to something baseball related instead.
