Zerohedge is great. """tyler durden""" does a great job of bridging the gap between the average person and financial literacy. And we even have some idea of who he is.

And he had the forethought to get other writers as well.

I haven't looked it up, but we do have some idea who he is?

I like ZH, have been there since 2012

Yup. I haven't looked into it further personally because it turned out to be unimportant in my opinion.

original zerohedge from their blogspot address in 2009 was sharp as fuck, 2010-2012 was decent, but there was a major shift in tone after that -- still ok for redpilling normies on occasion

t. came to Sup Forums from there

They are a little too pro-Russian, with the odd critical piece to look like they're still objective, but you can tell that someone is in a pocket when they come down early and often on Russia's side. Even before much of the evidence is in.

They have also been forecasting imminent complete economic catastrophe for years now. One day they'll be right, but that doesn't excuse hundreds of wrong calls. Oh, and coincidentally you can buy gold right through their ads. How convenient. That's just what we'd want for an imminent complete economic catastrophe.


That said, I still swing by just about daily, they are pretty good with breaking news and things you don't even hear about on the MSM.

Politics aside their economic and financial news is a good counter balance to the main stream media IF you take it with a grain of salt as similar to /pol they predict a world ending financial crisis every day.

>wrong calls
>ads
>buy gold

Who in his right mind would buy gold through an ad on the interjew? The quality of reporting might have dropped over time for whatever reason but you're an idiot if you're basic your criticism on that.

Why do conservative tabloids/aggregators always have such terrible site design? This and Drudge Report I swear.

>BUY SILVER! BUY SILVER!
better than infowars. lots of world news that influences events that go unexplained by the mainstream
pissed they got rid of the article ratings, gave you a good sense of if its worth reading or just b.s

It hints at an agenda and lack of objectivity. Not things you want in a news source.

All news sources do that. As mentioned, it was better toward the outset when it was flying more under the radar and was less compromised.

read it for the facts motherfucker
make your own goddamn opinions

I agree that they're pretty over-the-top perma bear. But one thing they're really trying to point out is how much of a casino ""trading"" is these days - all their analysis of the fundamentals points to collapse, but people (as in, corporations via buybacks) keep buying and the fed's of the world keep expanding their balance sheet, buying into the market themself to prop everything up.
tl;dr - it's all a shitshow - which is the whole point ZH is saying

About as credible as Breitbart.

Meaning not at all.

...

also this is stylistically the last article written in the voice of the "original tylers" notice how they say they have their price, i am of the mind that they were paid that price and that's why the tone-shift happened in 2012 -- most stuff written before this article was fuckin money tho, especially 2009-2010 stuff

I mean, I'll tell you one thing - I certainly keep my 401(k) out of the market. It's exclusively placed in money market and bond funds - that's it. I'd rather see 0-2% growth in my nest egg than fucking turn on CNN one day - "Markets Fall 50%. Trump Blamed."

That is exactly what is going to happen

But if you've got 40 years before the 401k is cashed I would put it all in the SP500 imho

ZH is great. I am waiting for this big crash though what up boyz? According to them THEY keep pushing off the crash with various jewish tricks. When is it going to come crashing down?

Also need that 2nd housing crash bc need to buy low babe when when when

Investment bank employee here.


During the crash they were a good source of news

But now it's mainly Infowars for banking

First the home of day traders.

Then the home of gold bugs.

Now the home of chicken littles who think Japan (of all fucking places) is going to have an economic collapse any day now.

You will find better economic discussions in this shit hole.

Completely Agreed. I'll stick to CNN and MSNBC thanks.

Lived the comment section there back in 2009 when I finished college and couldn't get a job

>in the pocket

Maybe they just look at the verifiable facts and judge the spin between the lines and come out with the opinion that putin is pretty fucking based diplomatically wheras washington is a war mongering machine of death, lies, and corruption? Seems pretty obvious.

Granted, the west is superior culturally to the shit hole reality that is Russian standard of living.

>Are they just edgy?
