However, I am really frustrated at not being able to understand more than half of what interviewees say on the phone on account of the bad sound quality. For this reason, I stopped watching the August 14th show halfway through. Mr. Keiser, is there any way this can be resolved? Best Regards, Christophe Douté Dear Mr. Keiser,

There is currently a movement to ban high frequency trading gaining support all over the world. The timing of this move is very suspicious to me. As I study socionomics extensively. I agree front running is bad as we all lose money, taxpayers included. But I have the counter tendency to view flash trading as a positive in this type of market environment. When the market is crashing or potentially crashing you need liquidity to get out. 1 cent per share Goldman Sachs gatekeeper fee be damned. And if the market continue their elliott wave pattern down down down and there is no liquidity to get out out out then billions of pensioners will lose in the future. I know it's their own fault in many cases for speculating and not getting out now on this false market recovery. But imagine if most people had to watch their investments drop 80% with no chance of escaping the market. If I was orchestrating the next phase of the crisis this is what I would do to profit off the market. When Goldman Sachs releases statements like, "Someone with our software can potentially influence markets in unnatural ways." Or something close to that their public relations department wants common serfs to get upset and attack them. They want to look like the bad guy so they can sell their positions, pull the liquidity rug from under everyone, short the markets and watch the markets burn for a few years and then buy with both hands down on insanely low values. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Dusko. Hi Max,

Somehow there seems to me that there are a few steps missing...UMMMMMMMM!

Prof Keen is a bit short on specifics with this story so i have not posted a link but i shall see if i can find out more detail ? one suggested solution to this whole sorry mess is a re-definition of financial assets, but i guess we shall have to wait for the cows to come home first .? an interesting story from Prof Keens website debtwatch [ ' video starts @ 16:39 into video ] the story was about a group in California who last year purchased $29 million dollars worth of bad debt to do with housing then re- packaged and sold it in the form CDO’s to the value of $130 million dollars to speculators betting that the mortgages would fail . the group then having made about $100 million dollars this way ,then gave $29 million dollars to the home owners so the speculators lost. this group is now apparently being sued by Merchant banks.

Hey Max, I have a request for an interview that I think would be highly entertaining. How about Jim Willie. Recently he made the most startling of calls, actually very ballsy of him. So please interview this kamikaze before its too late. Tyler D obviously didn’t realize the compression & brevity necessary on a brief video such as On The Edge.
