For most of the users here, Zerohedge has become the most trustable source over the years. Now, the identities of the writeres have been revealed
Lokey, 32, says the other men behind the site are 37-year-old Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian former hedge fund analyst, and Tim Backshall, a 45-year-old credit derivatives strategist. Lokey claims to have worked for Zero Hedge for more than a year.

Speak for yourself, I think they have very little credibility. They come off like precious metals salesmen, predicting Armageddon that never comes. And it makes sense that someone writing that degree of crackheaded bullshittery would use Tyler Durden as a pseudonym.

The facts they post speak for themselves, collapse of Baltic dry index, high global inventories, massive corporate buybacks.
All these things are important but somehow the .gov manages to keep this shit cycle spinning,

It's really quite amazing

What are you talking about, corporate buybacks? I might be impressed if that important-sounding phrase was explained by you. Stock buybacks? I don't get how that supports zerohedge being a sane website.

Having good articles does not make up for giving truth and honest facts that are creditable to the subject in question.
Sounds just writing for entertainment purposes or to fuel their own own driven lives to me.

I AM

I read it a fair bit, every second day pretty much. That with a few RT news shows on you tube is pretty much my only 'news' source.

I knew it was started by a Bulgarian some how and server is in Austria I think, but particular names dont really worry me.

They also posted a rebuttal to this guy posting his Texts messages shoing him to be drunken crack pot...

All fun and games Wink

I rarely read them, but its good to know, this makes the readers trust more them if they revealed themselves.

They have good info if you are an active investor, but if you just want economic news quickly, i just search youtube for a few economists there that give out news in less SHTF manner, and more information based.

...

Ivandjiiski was fairly well-known to people who follow Zero Hedge, and his tale had been told years ago in a lawsuit. All today ZH has had their rebuttal to Bloomberg's piece as their marque article.

Whatever their defects as a website (conspiratorial, Bearish, etc.) they have broken news items before.

People deeply interested in finance should read ZH just as a balance to the TBTF bank and .gov propaganda. Keep the salt handy though, you will need a pinch or two at times.

Yah I agree, and it's not bad for entertainment--much like Fight Club was good for that and not to take seriously. Some of these precious metal preppers are just funny as hell. Though I have to say, silver has been booming as of late.

Sorry but highly doubt that zero hedge has become the most trustable source for a majority of people here.
I even barely any links to that siite here.
From time to time an article from there pops up here in the forum when Bitcoin was mentioned.But that's pretty much it.
You just have to read the comment section over there to realize that these people are crazier then we here already are. Cheesy

Well they have good articles. They made a good reading on the china and XT fears and then the price rise.

They are pro-Bitcoin and get a grasp of what's going on better than most websites. Of course the comment section is a mess and full of Bitcoin FUDsters but what can you do? that's why we will be rich in 5 to 10 years, because most people are idiots and in denial about Bitcoin's potential. Let them choke on their gold bars and farms.
