I used to look up to Zerohedge like a big brother. They were super-bearish, super-cynical, and totally cool. I used to write for them, garnering tens of thousands of views on each post (far more than I ever get here on Slope).
Over time, however, ZH really changed, and I’ve soured on them. I guess they feel the same about me.
I was curious what my final comments were that set them off. They weren’t that extreme, but they definitely convey my feelings about where they were heading.
Since I’ve got a bug up my ass about these guys, I was curious what kinds of articles they were churning out at the market’s lifetime peak, over 5,000 Dow points ago. They don’t make it easy to go to old articles (whereas Slope is awesome about it), but I finally dug up the kinds of things they were writing on February 10th, the highest point in market history.
Suffice it to say it was all sunshine, rainbows, and unicorn farts.
What a bunch of choads.
