Actually I thought the comments were the best part. ("It might turn out like the early experiments in making meth, it works until it blows the shed all to hell. These guys are playing in real markets. Imagine what mayhem they are doing in closed-system synthetic market models. What appears like the graphs above are what escapes from the lab!")
Well, the comments are extremely mixed. There are often a few good comments, but the majority varies from unnecessary to complete crap. Zerohedge has a lot of decent articles, but they are all gloomy, which attracts a lot of conspiracy theorists. Conversely, they also have some articles that could be considered fringe/crackpot. And the majority of commenters seems to be in the last group.
I remember listening to a bunch of kooky-sounding talk in 2005-2006 about asset bubbles, inverted yield curves, credit default swaps, mark-to-market accounting, and other arcana spoken of in incredulous, worrisome tones that sounded like rejected dialogue from The X Files.
Then, pretty much everything they said was going to happen, happened, except for the usual wish-fulfillment subtexts about military coups, riots, and TEOTWAWKI.
(Of course, I've heard the same sort of talk since the mid-1970s, so its predictive power isn't all that impressive...)
