Old article - from 1989. Pretty fascinating how many of these guys turned out to be superstars.

Ha. Neat find. Love Chanos' mustache.
Was impressed by it as well.
Thanks for the post!
Also interesting that Cramer and his wife ended up divorced and he is now more well known for screaming on television than his actual investing acumen.
24% a year for over a decade ain't bad. Just saying.
I wonder if seeing him bark on TV gives his ex-wife some weird sense of satisfaction? Chalk that up to existential queries.
I don't think his performance was bad, but outside of finance guys the average Joe only knows him from TV and plugging Wachovia just before it collapsed.
Yeah, that definitely sucks. Would recommend his autobiography if you haven't read it yet. I just recently re-read it, awesome insight into his life. Not one of his new generic books
Thanks for the tip. I'll put it in the queue.
Do you mean "Confessions of a Street Addict"? I still haven't read it.
Yep, that's the one. Guy is insane, only sleeps a few hours each night, and is someone who really defines what 'passion' is all about

I was expecting something about the guys at Lumina.
Give them a few more years.
