That tends to be my feeling every time I click on a Zero Hedge link. I must be a slow learner: in my determination to be open-minded and non-judgmental, I actually continued to click on them for a long time, until eventually my puzzlement and confusion at their content prompted me to discover this one (and then, suddenly, as the saying goes, "it all made sense"!)
It seems to be a series of nonsequitous, (is that a word?) nonsensical rambling with odd half conclusions. Predicting the future of the markets is a rather specious exercise with good data and sound arguments, so these guys seem especially whimsical on a very consistent basis.
regarding RationalWiki cited by Xela: "Online wiki devoted to propagating left-wing ideals without explicitly stating so. The title "Rational Wiki" is deliberately misleading, as it implies a logical, unbiased, emotionally detached approach when the site reads like a hotly opinionated liberal blog. According to RationalWiki, "reality has a liberal bias," not them." https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=RationalWiki Rational Wiki is a Left-leaning anti-Conservative established to counter Conservapedia. It is every bit as biased however (IMHO). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RationalWiki P.S. Zero Hedge has some good info, but has been forecasting doom for a decade or more. Since the Great Recession, the economy is doing pretty well by most measures. Both Conservapedia and RationalWiki also have some good content, in addition to highly slanted views. Objective truth is very hard to find.
The only reason I keep clicking, is sometimes they do break the news before the mainstream channels, or at least do a good job of linking to said channels. I obviously skip reading their conspiracies.
It's hard to find objective journalism, without leaning towards the left or the right. Journalism is propaganda.
Haha. One sentence sums it up. Damn that is funny... Zero Hedge is a batshit insane Austrian school finance blog run by two pseudonymous founders who post articles under the name "Tyler Durden," after the character from Fight Club. It's essentially apocalypse porn. It has accurately predicted 200 of the last 2 recessions.[citation NOT needed]
%% I maybe should check again the record of their mutual funds; but i have enough averages.LOL. But with Mr Dimons grasp of bit con, i would never count them out. NOT a prediction.
