I am not fully informed about the veracity of this site. If someone has insight, please let me know. I don't want to post right wing propaganda. Or left wing for that matter. :P http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=197878&page=1

3. Ha ha ha!!! I said to my self, "Gee, who the hell is that, it must be significant, that comment." |
|
So, I did my due diligence and went to the font, Ye Olde Google.
This is what came up as choices with the auto-complete thing:
karl denninger karl denninger wiki I'm Feeling Lucky » karl denninger tea party karl denninger kook
Tea party? Kook? Say no more!

that PoliticAverse posted. It isn't that cut and simple. He voted for Obama.
Don't be the inverse of right wing nuttery.

9. I did check the link. I still think the guy is off the page. |
|
He drifts with the wind, like an easily distracted poodle.

2. Denninger's economic views are often quoted here. He is a supporter now of OWS. |
|
He and Max Keiser are often cited for being bluntly honest in the perspective of what is really happening in the economy. Both have been proven to be current as events unfolded.
As far as the column to which you refer in the OP, I read it earlier and I consider it accurate in terms of how MF has exposed probable fraud in the futures market. Plus more mainstream sources this week reported a lot of similar information, as indeed Denninger quotes: "CNBC is reporting that there are now clients running out of the markets entirely because they do not believe their customer funds are safe."

Thanks for filling in the blanks. If I saw him, I might recognize him. I watch Keiser often.

8. Denniger is often on tv,about money, has a Monday radio show. |
|
I find his voice monotonous and boring, so don't listen. He is VERY intelligent, can be irritating in some of his libertarian views. He lives in Niceville Fla ( how's THAT for a town name???)
Google images under his name, lots of pics.

5. I guess the foreign markets and after hours traders didn't get his memo. |
|
Things are slightly down, but nobody is panicking.
As of right now, the markets don't appear to be any more volatile than they've been all year.
I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is selling gold. I know he was a buddy of Glenn Beck, who is definitely a goldbug.

.. will ban you if you talk about gold in the wrong forum. He is anything but a gold bug.
He runs his forum like an irritable Sheldon, but his grasp of what is happening is pretty sound IMHO.
