Reply #1: Its a financial wonk's site. [View All]

I read zerohedge from time to time, there's lots of interesting stuff and unfiltered opinions. Its sorta like slashdot.org but for finance geeks, currency geeks and goldbugs. I find the debate there to be largely non-political. I've watched posters bring in talking points (from both the left and the right) and they're almost always laughed out of the room. Political bullshit, generally, doesn't fly there.

That being said, they do have a bias against the 99% but, also, a general unease towards the tea baggers too. That's because the arrogance of the stock broker is on full display there -- they think they have all the answers and are always on the right side of the trade. So that attitude can be nauseating to me at times.

Read zerohedge.com if you like, just know there's a certain, specialized, filter going on there. I don't agree or disagree with zerohedge, and its a good place to get a lot of financial industry news, and not the CNBC stock hype, scandal and product placements. I mean real news like what's going on behind the curtain. So in that, the site is a good source of info.

Again, its like slashdot.org, but for a different kind of geek.
