ZH was good in 2009. Then it slowly went downhill. It became an anti HFT/anti Fed site, then a gold-bug site, and now a pro Russia/China outlet. Typical ZH logic: when gold goes up, it's the smart investors noticing the corruption of the "markets" and acting accordingly. When gold goes down, it's the HFTs and the Feds slamming it down because if it goes up it destroys the faith in the US Dollar. If it spikes up, it smart money doing a play. If it spikes down, it's blatant manipulation by someone without a "fiduciary duty" (ie: they imply that the seller doesn't care that he loses money because it sells quickly instead of working the order more slowly)
