I haven’t acted on it, but it’s a great idea. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/bank-america-implodes-mbia-volkwsagen-short-squeeze-candidate /I had to look up endocrine system. Too long since biology //Very funny. Especially since I’m the one normally pulling things out with wire hangers
I think we should be more concerned about MS. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/morgan-stanleys-exposure-french-banks-60-greater-its-market-cap-and-more-half-its-book-value
highly interesting!!!
When did zerohedge really become a reputable source. End of year financial statements when we are 9 months into the year as well? Who knows what exactly the exposure is currently.

The posts that are originated by Tyler generally have Bloomberg charts that accompany them, or something else to back up his point. So, the data that’s he presents is generally third party in nature. His opinions, on the other hand, are obviously a bit outside the norm. People have started paying more attention because he’s been right more often then not over the last few years. It’s one of the few sites that offers a very different and, most importantly, creative view of various markets. My standard disclaimer about ZH is you have to be able to figure out the conspiracy theories from good ideas on your own.
I read ZH daily just to get the third party stuff like Sweep said. That is invaluable. Plus, Tyler can be funny as hell too. You just have to filter the negative and think for yourself. Not that hard and it certainly doesnt make the site less “reputable”. I dont find much of what they do to be any more biased than the bulls— slant you get from Fox or CNN or CNBC, etc.

They write things that their own charts even disagree with… They pull specific statements out of entire articles to support their claims. There are also numerous Tyler Durdens, look at the Bloomberg term screens. Some have serial numbers, others do not. Some get real time quotes, some get delayed quotes for the same securities. Some are front office in that they get Bid/Ask from actual banks and show the banks, others are back office. There is more than likely 5-10 people posting under that alias on the site. It’s not that they don’t often make a point but the majority of the time the same point can be made just by having a subscription to BBG/TR/DJ and a little bit of sell-side access…

I follow ZH on twitter and he tweets all day. He is a machine. There has got a group of these people.
I’m sure there are a few people that run the site, it’s become quite an operation over the last couple years. As to the charts having different numbers, anyone can submit something to ZH. Can you find the data elsewhere? Sure, ZH has become something of a news aggregator. Probably a quarter of the posts are sell side reports. Of course, along with the report you get Tyler’s take on the situation too. A perfect example of something you find at ZH that you can’t find on mainstream sites was the spin on the jobless claims this morning. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/initial-claims-miss-consensus-prior-bad-data-amplified-103000-unemployed-fall-extended-benefits There’s nothing that’s not factual in that post. It’s pessimistic to be sure, but it’s worth noting that major news outlets seem to forget to report that the previous week’s claims number is always revised upward. It’s little stuff like that that make the site interesting.
