Do we need a UK Financial Implosion thread?

So, the thread has gone a bit like this it seems:

Claim that Max Keiser has made loads of predictions that have come true.

Request for examples.

junglevip throws teddies out of pram and refuses to provide any.

Examples of predictions that didn't come true posted.

junglevip starts calling people wankers and going all weird, claiming that although he doesn't understand the topic others don't understand it well enough to comment either or something (which begs the question, why does he get to comment in ignorance but nobody else?)

junglevip posts a prediction made by Keiser on twitter.

Prediction err... predictably fails to come true.

This is pointed out to junglevip and he starts behaving like a toddler again, claiming it doesn't matter cos it's only a tweet.

It is pointed out that this kind of thinking is what charlatans like Keiser rely on - that people will remember the rare predictions that by some fluke or another come true but forget the inaccurate ones because 'they're only tweets'

Some twat posts something about how Marxists should have been bond traders or something and gets called a plank.

junglevip starts being weird again, replying to the same posts several times and generally behaving in the kind of way you'd expect a religious zealot to behave when someone questions the authority of their chosen guru.

Did I miss anything out?

Max Keiser is Russia today's answer to Glen Beck. Someone obviously watched the movie Network and decided to give it a go. And thus we have a show that provides oddball conspiraloons, closet antisemites and youtube scholars with a platform to feed credulous fools like junglevip their idiotic ideas.

It should be on you to show why we should take this man seriously. He presents himself as an authority, you agree with him and think we should listen to him. Prove it.

If you could show us where he explains the reasoning behind that tweet, that would be good. As butchers, I think, said, some post-analysis on where he went wrong would be nice.

Ditto for this claim of total economic collapse before April 2013:

As I previously said, I have no expertise to explain why Max Keiser was wrong in his tweet

That's not what I'm asking.

I want some reasons to believe what this guy is saying. You must have some, because you believe him. He must have predicted things in the past which have come true. What are they?

When he has predicted things which haven't come true, has he ever sought to explain his mistake? Not you, him.

I cant give you what you want I am afraid:( You pays your money you takes your choice. I have stuff to do :(:(
 
I am going Marxist from now on. I have seen two of his films and even though they were in black and white, they were quite funny

The people in Cypress watching this might have a different take

I take it you haven't watched the video. He predicted a total collapse of fiat money, with China having a gold-backed currency. 90% certainty, he said, of it happening anytime from last year up until April this year. Also, that Japan is the weakest, most fragile economy in the world right now.

:facepalm:

I probably have seen it to be honest but I'll give it another look when I have some time.

Cheers
 
Thats bollocks and I know you can do better. I am asking questions because I dont know about this stuff when I have your expertise I'll be able to answer them. Hopefully in a way that is better than what you have just posted
He is asking questions to try and help you understand where you went wrong because straight up telling you probably won't work. Getting you to work it out for yourself might. He's asking you questions that you can answer yourself if you want to, and in doing so learn something.
 
Long-term predictions are doomed to failure because the system is not subject to long-term prediction. Nobody, however, gets on TV for saying that. They get on TV for making bold predictions, and hang their accuracy.
 
They get on TV for making the kinds of predictions their paymasters like, first and foremost. How in hell do you think we ended up with austerity being thought of as a serious response to recession?
