In this edition of Max Kieser’s “On the Edge”, he discusses the shenanigans in the financial markets with Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge, a fairly new, but already influential financial blog. Durden writes under the pseudonym of Brad Pitt’s character in the movie Fight Club, subscribing to the “critical importance of anonymity and its role in dissident speech” (via Wall St. Cheat Sheet). The four authors of Zero Hedge are ex-Wall Streeters with over two decades of corporate financial advisory, investing and operational experience.

Kierser’s in-your-face presentation style may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but it certainly makes for thought-provoking viewing material.
