I'm asking you what it is he's manipulating and profiting in the process.

Karmabanque was a hedge fund . . .

I've heard the term "hedge fund" talked about in relation to the derivatives mess.

Is there anything wrong with hedge funds?

I think Max is good at picking guests for his shows.

I enjoyed the comments of his last guest, Reggie Middleton, of BoomBustBlog.com, in the second half.

Says Reggie: "The liquidity injection measures stopped much of the fall, but did absolutely nothing to cure the problem, and the only way to cure the problem is the proper pricing of the assets that are sitting on bank, and real estate, and other companies' balance sheets."

At the end of the video, they have a discussion about oligarchs and whether or not they should be allowed. I ended up looking "oligarch" up in the dictionary to confirm I understood what the word means. I was surprised to see "A member of a small governing faction."

Max Keiser is the inventor of the virtual specialist technology / prediction markets, Hollywood Stock Exchange, Karmabanque, and PirateMyFilm

Here is a 2006 video about Karmabanque.

In it, "shorting" is defined as relevant to Karmabanque "Someone borrows shares of a company from an investor, and then sells those borrowed shares at the current market price. The hope is that the stock price will fall, so the short seller can buy back the stock at the lower price, and then, give the stock back to the person they borrowed from, making profit in the process to put towards environmental causes."

Now I'm beginning to understand why Max seems to advocate believing in and worrying about man-made global warming.

Should "shorting" be legal?

I continue to rely on the Keiser Report, especially for the guests he has on, but I have to say, his website has become downright raunchy.

There is nothing wrong with the human form (historical Bikini video you refer to on Max's site). Raunchy is when they're doing unmentionable actions. Scantily clad humans is not raunchy unless you're puritanical. Save the word "raunchy" for things that are truly that, like the pat down of underage children by the TSA at airports.

His website has been described as a "financial tabloid." I think he's going to be taken less seriously because of this and many other photos he's been displaying as of late.

Also, his language - such as calling people a "douche," "a dick," and displaying "max says: “I f-ing Love goldmoney.com”

Mary Rose I agree Max strays into adult talk and Stacy constantly reins him in. I had stopped listening to his podcast because he talked more about chit chat stuff instead of finance. I am not bothered by some of the adult talk, but I also don't play it while my young daughter is around (anyway she hates his voice).

I see his "Truth About Markets-USA" is no longer on the GCN Radio Network and I wonder if this was because his talk was too adult at times or they failed to deliver shows on a regular basis.

I think it's a shame because he does have knowledge of how Wall Street works, and, I think his heart is in the right place as far as right and wrong in the marketplace.

I see he now he has some questionable images on his website. It's a shame Max is going for the shock value and will lose viewers. Certainly some images weren't safe for work viewing and that is an issue that could cost someone their job if they pop over to his site during lunch at work.

Max has lost his focus.

Max Keiser has offered another very valuable guest in his latest Keiser Report. In the second half of this video, Max interviews Dr. Kiriakos Tobras of Athens, Greece and the website stopspeculators.gr.

Dr. Tobras gives a very informative and complete summary of the nuts and bolts of how fraud is committed by banksters. In case you've forgotten what CDS stands for, it's Credit Default Swap:

Yeah well what CTers have known for years/decades now is just finally making it's way into the masses awareness. More of that to come over the years.



I keep wondering if some of the slight insanity that's displayed by many of the genius CTers will clear up as other people become more enlightened. I wonder since there is correlation between high intelligence and insanity, what is the cause? which came first? A discussion for another thread, perhaps, but just had to get that out..

it would be interesting to know how many lobbyists/interest groups are pulling at the suit hems of elected officials and whether this contributes to any insanity thats evident within the policies!

well I think Keiser has more entertainment value
than anything else. Ever since I saw a video
of him a few months ago where he said the Chinese
were gonna crash wall street "tomorrow" I have
been a skeptic.

However, I do like his antics while he
discusses the topics.

Bankers are
TERRORISTS, TERRORISTS TERRORISTS !!!

lol, loved that line
but some of the stuff he says
has merit.

Why do people post things that are already posted?
