For Smart Stock Picks, Ask a Playmate

"Tradingmarkets.com, a site for short-term traders, asked Playboy to assemble 10 former centerfold Playmates for a 2006 investing contest...As of May 1, four Playmates have matched or beaten the 4.56% return of the S&P 500. Collectively the group has a 7.87% return, topping the results of about 75% of all mutual funds so far this year."
