zero hedge fail

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/treasury-bund-spread-surges-over-three-year-wides

bund wasnt even trading today lol

That's exactly one of the reasons I never listen to ZH. They also published this lengthy comment on what was obviously an error:
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/paging-imf-greek-ten-years-just-hit-35308

agreed, its a great contrarian indicator. as soon as tyler pipes up about "x" market getting crushed, usually time to buy it!

Haha, good point... However, funnily enough, he's sorta onto something in this particular case. Trsy-bund spread is making highs that it hasn't seen since mid-2006. Some people are, in fact, very excited by that.

Has been on my t'interweb reading list for a long time, fascinating, a must catch up read for a variety of reasons. Call him/them Cassandras all you like, but to ignore a lot of the comment (that originates from there) would be a grave folly for us speculators...

ZeroHedge isn't Cassandra. More like the News of the World/National Enquirer of the blogosphere. Produces a lot of meaningless noise, which is why I haven't met anyone serious who actually listens to ZH.

Outing Zero Hedge

..A former hedge-fund analyst, he’s also a zealous believer in a sweeping conspiracy that casts the alumni of Goldman Sachs as a powerful cabal at the helm of U.S. policy, with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve colluding to preserve the status quo. His antidote? A purifying market crash that leads to the elimination of the big banks altogether and the reinstatement of genuine free-market capitalism.

Never mind Dow 10,000. Dan Ivandjiiski is all about Dow Zero...

some of the info can be good, but in all its all just plucked off the bloomber terminal with tylers own added anti GS, bernanke agenda. some of the posts are great, but alot of it is sensationalist crap..like "at this rate we will hit dow 36,000 in 30 days on 5 es contracts"

just need to read the comments to see the kind of audience it attracts. people with an absolute chip on their sholder who no doubt hoard canned foods and ammunition for the coming apocalypse

As if...someone up thread mentioned the NOTW and or The Sun, well if Mandy gets her/his way with the Digital Economy Bill I'm sure sites such as zero hedge (or several others I could mention) would disappear for having the afront to take a contrarian view versus the market, life, common purpose zeitgesit, and just about everything that bother the elite...

Surely the majority of engaged posters on T2W do not really think *it's over*, i.e. that great recession/depression never really happened, it was a blip, everything is hunky dory and we're set for an exponential growth period? Fook...have you any idea of what a mess the US is in, beneath the surface/spin that the gullible digest on a daily basis?

ZH and sites like it heighten awareness of *stuff* the masses would be better off knowing, not for trading purposes specifically; Citibank (a US nationalised bank by any other name) advising clients they can only withdraw over $1,500 with seven days notice, Greek banks preventing a run through similar methods, after the good and great had been given the nod to flight first, the true unemployment numbers in the US, the real fears the US has versus China, fiat systems, fractional reserve banking, US debt being 350% of GDP, the cranking up of false flag rhetoric to justify the inevitable invasion of Iran... So what I made a few grand this past week on the forex market, doesn't make the world right for my kids does it?

I agree The U.K is no different.

If you haven't heard of Peter Schiff I suggest you start with these clips, he is worth listening to, they are well worth the time.

Don't know about trading, but I now insist on all pure-gold fillings at the dentists.
If the government wants my gold, they're gonna have to fight me fer it!

its probably coloured tungsten

.."There is 100-times more paper-gold outstanding than physical gold.
the commissioners were told that it was impossible for the London exchange to ever deliver all the gold and silver owed to the owners of contracts.

huge scam, expect the IMF to herald they're selling more that they (or anyone) don't actually own in order to attempt to surpress the price.. 42 US banks have failed in the first quarter of 2010 and it appears to be accelerating, here's another site that has *interesting* content, beats the ten O'clock or Sky news thats for sure..
