Charlie Lets Zero Intelligence Have It
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Less than three hours after saying this "I generally don't respond to people who don't matter on Wall Street" you come out with this:
Not even sure you deserve a response to this, as apparently you have completely missed our prodding which had nothing to do with you being on Goldman's pay and everything with you doing the responsible journalistic thing, i.e., asking the tough questions which you purport you did, instead of being fed the party line. We appreciate the other side of the story: we can get that from Goldman's press releases and 8K's - you are supposed to read between the lines and find out what it is in the story that your new friends at 85 Broad are not telling you. But if by now you have not realized what your job as a journalist entails, it would be a folly for Zero Hedge to try to educate you at this late stage in your career.
Instead, as everyone knows the true nature of CNBC's journalism, which is namely to sell advertising space, we would simply like to present one piece of data that you, your producer, and your parent company General Electric may be most interested in.
As to the veracity of your, or Zero Hedge's claims, well, the audience is the best arbiter of that.
Good day.
PS. Maria (oh wait, whispering in my ear says your name is) Michelle, please give us a mailing address: we will dispatch a copy of Fight Club to you post haste, for free. It is a travesty to have your producer whisper in your ear just who this pseudonymous Tyler Durden is.

I love how they pretend they don't know anything about zerohedge. You know they F5 the thing every 2 minutes.
I love how being a blogger makes you a moron. Yet what's the difference between them and a blogger? Better teeth. More time on makeup and less time on real research. TD knows more in his left testicle than these douches.

Charlie,
The S&P 500 has been trading with the Euro currency almost exactly for longer than I care to think about. Call the a-holes at 85 Broad and ask for a comment. Stop reporting BS minutae, no one legit gives a shit, really.
on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 13:53
#12091
Agreed...really bad idea Charlie, you f'in WS shill.
On another note, is today the beginning of SPY breakdown? Has anyone else noticed that we ever so briefly touched $96.11 just before 1pm and have more or less trended lower/weaker since then?
The significance here is $96.11 is the June 11 & YTD intra-day high. Perhaps if that level does not get taken out with any afternoon ramping shenanigans, the market will selloff.
on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 14:02

#12212
of course i have been, but i also believe we will breakdown at some point (as we briefly did following the June 8-12 ramp).
my level held today and we closed barely red, i wonder if that is a line in the sand for a time...we shall see

i don't mean to put words in d.o.d.'s mouth, but i think the point he was trying to make is that technicals (or fundamentals, for that matter) are not driving this market and you might as well throw them out the window. i aspire to be a market technician and i came to this realization a few weeks ago.

This market is making a mockery of both TA and FA. It seems the robots are programmed in bizarro-mode. Take the action most opposite of what any analysis concludes. Except VWAP, that is!
on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 14:40
#12174
NICE...I was wondering how to square the circle of taking out the June highs on the S&P without going meaningfully higher from there (as the teknicians were all creaming over us taking out 950). But looking at the SPY instead makes perfect sense as thats what the mechanical overlords have been gunning this whole time.
I just can't imagine how there hasn't been at least some retracement with the likes of INTC and CSCO up 20% in less than 10 trading days. Somethins gotta give.

Unfortunately, you need to compare the graphs together on Google Trends. The graph you have proves that ZH is growing and CNBC is faltering, but doesn't show them compared to eachother.
To do that you need to seperate the two terms by commas in the same search: http://www.google.com/trends?q=cnbc%2C+zero+hedge&ctab=0&geo=all&date=mtd&sort=0
The result is not as flattering.

To me, the moment Charlie's credibility jumped the shark was during his singlehanded effort to pump the monolines so many moons ago.
on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 18:30
#12395
Yeah, he was constantly coming on the air, in one case 15 minutes before the market closed, with "rumors" of monoline bailouts. I guess he figured if he said "rumor" it protected him from spewing his fraudulent crap.

Here are some links about the episode I refer to. The "rumor" never did turn out to be true, and Ambac is basically in runoff today.

I really should have gone long last week, even if it was against any good common sense I have....
You could almost hear the producer whisper in her ear "Tyler Durden is from Fight Club, you know, the movie."

Mr. Durden,
Should you ever collosally screw up and appear on CNBC, might I suggest something to the effect of "Max Headroom." It would be a hoot for me to watch. Just imagine the ironic commentary of it, which would be lost on CNBC's declining viewership but not on your readers.

Charlie Gasparino needs to be called out for what he is. The tool of Wall Street!!!!
Until CNBS starts reporting NEWS, REAL NEWS, and stops protecting the shennangians of Wall Street, who the fuck cares what they have to say. By the way, I don't consider ZEROHEDGE a blog spot, I consider it a news source. There is a big difference between the 2. Charlie should be educated in what the difference is.
If I am actually listening to CNBS and I hear something newsworthy, I usually tune into the blogs to see what the real story is all about anyway.
Keep killing him Tyler, he sure is making it easy for ya.

CNBC folks:
No doubt as people you love your country, want the economy to recover and would rather see the market up than down.
Perhaps you think it unpatriotic to take a stance that is not bullish, or to challenge or criticise those who run the system. Okay, fine. Just don't call yourselves journalists or pretend that you're in the news business. You're entertainers, blowing financial sunshine for a living.
Sadly, the notion that you can BS this balance sheet recession economy into recovering is pathetic and doomed to fail.
on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 15:28
#12235
It's crazy to me that folks would be implicitly, (or explicitly in the case of Magic Elixir Dennis Kneale,) encouraging us to create reality by imposing our will (and nothing else,) on it. I just cannot imagine where this comes from. They're basically saying "If you want a rally bad enough, we will not have to worry about why we had a crash," to begin with. I know this is redundant for folks here who already know this, but they're switching the result with the cause. Apparently reality is only a sideshow to their kind of truth. I know it's working, but it can only appear to work (as it is, temporarily) while people give their own tacit agreement not to think too much.

I get a strange amount of pleasure thinking about the fact that in TD's non Fight Club world (o/s of zero intelligence) he has probably been at the same restaurant/bar/parties as Charlie. Perhaps even made small talk with Charlie on some occasion or another. If not Charlie than surely one of the other buffons (except David Faber who is not a buffon).
I always figured that the greatest thing about being Wonder Woman (besides the invisible plan) was that no one, except you knows what your real identity is.

I've been reading zero hedge for a few months now and I guess some people just can't handle anything to change. I know this site still has some bugs to be worked out, but if TD can get the word out about whats really going on to more people then he is accomplishing his quest! His site gives me hope that maybe someday things will change and the people will take America back from the bankers and their puppets on capitol hill.

The rest of the post is really not worth commenting on. I gusee when Charlie becomes a Dennis Kneale wanna be you realize just what you are dealing with. I guess that guy Carl from the am show will be next on the hit parade. He seems the type.
One thing for sure, they won't be posting here. CAPTCHA's are way too hard.

Yes, TD. But on the other hand, Charlie does openly observe that GS is gov't-subsidized to take its hyper risks as usual, and that it gladly accepted the subsidy.

Not to float my own boat, well, yeah, okay, somewhat to float my own blog, my post got Dennis Kneale to say that he "is a clown, complete with a red nose and big goofy shoes..." on air.
Not much value added, but funny as hell.

Absent a repetition of the Mahatma Gandhi quote (which says it best), what ZH is doing is rather insidious and worthy of a CIA covert op. One by one you are picking off the chaff at GE's entertainment network. First DK, now CG. Of course none of them "cares", but none can resist fighting back. ZH is sticking in their craw, and 'me thinks the lady doth protest too much'. Add a sleepness night or two, or the beginnings of an ulcer, and you are winning. A nervous on air tic comes next, because they realize that in trading rooms across the planet folks are laughing. The art of war.
As for Michelle CC, can you explain this:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/16561378/site/14081545/ in light of your moronic blogger comment? Oh, YOUR bloggers have day jobs. I see.
Incidentally, in a month CNBC doesn't turn out a tenth of the value ZH does in an afternoon. Read it and see for yourself. Other than Santelli, and maybe Faber, CNBC does not even possess the expertise to begin to understand some of the topics ZH covers. Of course that may say something about the viewership, at least the viewers who have the sound turned on.
ZH may be fight club, but CNBC---with its constant stereo screamfest---isn't even up to the entertainment value of the WWF.

I think we are focusing on the wrong part of the message: A 'respected media' is using a ZeroHedge tangent to finally give the party line on why GS is being allowed what GS is doing: They are doing it because Government wants to.

They just let the market go down the next 3 days and bam bam bam,3 months of V shaped recovery and all is forgotten. Green Shoots everywhere.... They sure as hell will not let the markets go down. We are already in the next bubble, it is the stock market itself. In another 10 years all of us will be paper millionaires in our 401K. Until it is time to retire, when they will tax you to death and all you will have is worthless paper. Welcome to Hotel California....

Am I the only one that thinks it's sad, bizarre, and pathetic that these people don't recognize the name 'Tyler Durden'? Same goes for the GS guy who wrote to zh a couple weeks back ('Dear Tyler Durdin').
Kinda says something that these people are so checked out, culture wise, they've never seen what people, as well as critics, generally agree is a landmark film. It's reveals how out of touch and superficial these people really are.
P.S. Marla, these captchas are getting a little hardcore (double digit negative subtraction)--did the bots/scipters nail the simpler system from a couple weeks ago (e.g. single digit math)? I only notice it beacuse I usually need to do a lot of previews and edits because I'm a mad typo machine.

On a lark, I googled "zero intelligence" and got the following link:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6948-zero-intelligence-trading-clo...
"A model that assumes stock market traders have zero intelligence has been found to mimic the behaviour of the London Stock Exchange very closely.
However, the surprising result does not mean traders are actually just buying and selling at random, say researchers. Instead, it suggests that the movement of markets depend less on the strategic behaviour of traders and more on the structure and constraints of the trading system itself."

I love Gasparino. He's entertaining as hell. Too bad old Charlie forgot one thing about us stupid moronic bloggers who just happen to be historians: Some of us kept every Bubblevision recording where Charlie came on the air at 2:45 to 3:15 every afternoon to pump a down day up with the "blah, blah, blah is rumored to be in talks to buy Bear Stearns" and voila, a 200 point down day was reversed. But who wants to dwell on a dead company or us moronic bloggers, right? After all Charlie, the internet leaves a history about you also, that many of us remember....
Who could possibly forget an example of these great stories to pump the markets up?
Bear Stearns Could Become Takeover Target: CNBC's Gasparino
and of course, he didn't personally profit from it, right?
