Zero Hedge

Fun but heavy bias

Seems like Zerohedge is a decent news source. The problem is it isn't really professional so you can't really trust everything that comes across it. Plus it is heavily biased and seems like anti-everything. With that said they are very quick with their articles and can be funny a lot of the times.

Depressing

I call ZH the conspiracy site of the financial world, these guys have nothing to positive to write about, everyone is out to get everyone in their opinion, the world is ending, the sky is falling..etc, etc. They are one dimensional in their writing and sell fear like no other. Unless you like to live your life under a dark cloud, stay away from this blog. I prefer to think positively, it doesn't mean that I have the wool over my eyes but I understand that the world is far from perfect, it has been since the inception of man and that will never change.

Information for institution status

Love zh. It's a tad bit bearish on all fronts, but overall it does a great job of exposing and bringing out the true nature of a lot of these different banks and BS groups out there that literally just take all our money.

Exposes The Underworld of Market Mechanics.

I read ZH every day and it's fair to say I've learned a lot about market mechanics that I'd otherwise be completely unaware of.

There's no doubt about it, Zero Hedge is probably the best news orientated blog around, but I sometimes wonder if that's because most of the news is bad, and bad news sells!

It's certainly good at painting a bearish picture of the financial industry and anything related to it. If they are bearish on something and it ticks down a bit, then they'll post a chart of it extrapolating it to 0.

In fact, everything is extrapolated to zero whether it be the USD, the EUR, Equities etc.... If it can go to zero they will find a way to explain how it's going to happen....unless it's Gold which they are bullish on and extrapolate that to the moon!

The sarcasm and wit is extremely entertaining and there is clearly a lot of intelligence behind the authors.

However, the bearishness can be so extreme you may leave the website and convince yourself you need to buy a bunker and stock up on Gold and tinned food to survive. That day may come, but I think the content is quite a few years too early for people to take that kind of thing seriously.

It's unfortunate that the followers, or rather, the majority of followers who leave comments definitely don't do the site any favours and I'm sure people have been put off reading the site based on the type of useless halfwit comments that are left, usually by people who clearly don't understand the article they're leaving a comment under!

Overall though, ZH is very entertaining, educational, and does add some value so it gets a good rating from me.

Apocalyp$e Now

The financial world is always on the verge of implosion, each and every day at ZH. However, Typer Durden is extremely witty, and even if the meltdown hasn't happened, he's too amusing not to read. I don't even understand 99% of the posts, but I always know there will be something in there to make me laugh and wonder what crazy scheme the politicians and economists will come up with next. Tried to convince the ZHers an art-backed currency would be psychologically more healthy than a gold-backed currency, but didn't get very far with that ;)

Anarchy

Of course you have to take it with a grain of salt, but this site also pinpoints important info that mainstream media does not cover. All trust in Tyler Durden.

Biggest Bears on the planet

Post a lot of good stuff, but a lot of it is propagandist BS. Read for entertainment only or you will think the world is ending each and every day.

Great News with the Occasional Absurd

While I love the antibias and unfiltered news of zerohedge as a change up from everything else out there, occasionally the doom and gloom overtures grow thin and i find myself staying away from a few days. Still a good place to go to get the other perspective of stories and provide your day with another angle on the news.
