Zero Hedge has been my main source of financial news for almost a year. They've been out in front of some big stories that shine a light through some dark spaces.
- rjett 16y agoReally? Zerohedge certainly does paint an alternate reality from most other sources, but most of the time the writing seems so manic and chock-full of conspiracy theories that it's hard to take seriously. Zerohedge gained traction in an environment of fear and panic and Tyler Durden, whoever he is, plays that trump card very well.

- rrhyne 16y agoOh it's manic AND full of conspiracy theories, but even your article gives them credit for outing the HFT 'conspiracy theory' to the masses.
- mistermann 16y agoTyler at zerohedge is certainly prolific in his posting and definitely lacks the editorial oversight found elsewhere (thankfully), but most of what he posts is relevant and worth considering. If you think what he discusses is purely "conspiracy theories", presumably because it doesn't jive with the official sanctioned arbiters of information, I have to ask, how weird does it have to get before you'll start to consider that perhaps the official sources aren't telling the truth. For example:, the ratings agencies, who are supposed to give unbiased information, do anything but. Or....the formula for calculating unemployed workers. This had changed drastically in the last decade, yet we are constantly presented with the current numbers compared to historic numbers, when they are using entirely different formulas.
