On an aside, I really hope that anyone approached by them to invest will at least do a Google search and stumble upon the numerous WSO posts in regards to their "experience"...
In all fairness, what 21 year old college senior DIDN'T think they knew everything about the market and wanted to start their own hedge fund? Their main problem was that nobody around them told them any better, and in fact made the problem worse by encouraging them.
Should we call it the "American Idol Effect"? Don't know how bad you are until you removed the earphones? There's been a lot of people in this world that could've used a hard dose of reality from self-assessment, and input from family and friends.

Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.
We never ask out clients to judge us on our winners, we ask them to judge us on our losers because we have so few.
This has been an exceptional year for us hear at Lumina Investments. Our long Beanie Babies position has yielded returns above our initial target price and due to the large influx of capital attributable to said performance, we are expanding our team in order to assist in our coverage expansion into baseball cards and Star Wars collectibles.
