  • Would you hire Dracula if you managed a bloodbank?

    LOL!

    Yes, if I was ‘in-on-the-take’ and an associate of the DragoGentlemen’s club. But I prefer some other form of punch, personally.

  • Wasn’t the FEMALE prime minister of Iceland supposed to revolutionize the country by virtue of her being female? Hate to say I told you so, but I predicted she would not because yes, even being a woman is no guarantee that a person will not be a heartless tool of the banksters.

  • Opening with intro of Stacy saying that the business Insider has best Headline writers and then panning to “Greek Crisis Over “where you ask him about that and he does the ” temporary ” dance and ” double down ” casino dance. C’mon……best headlines ?……yeah ………….maybe in terms of deceit to get people to read the article.

  • I don’t remember seeing a public outcry to prevent the most blatant speculative activity of the past century, when the Nasdaq soared above five thousand in March 2000, and when housing prices soared to twice fair value in the U.S. and many countries in 2005-2007. In Ireland, prices reached three times fair value by early 2007, and yet I don’t recall a single Irish politician begging speculators to stop buying Irish real estate. When crude oil plummeted to $35 per barrel at the end of 2008, I can’t remember anyone decrying the irrationally low price of gasoline.

    It is obvious that politicians only want to curb speculation which causes housing prices to fall, gasoline prices to rise, currencies to become unstable, and stocks to move lower. In other words, they want to live in a fantasy world.

  • I think this guy – Joe Wiesenthal sucks.
    He is jus a Wall Street punter.
    Sucking and blowing out both sides of his mouth.

    Nothing wrong with being gay, I am amused by the hypocrisy..

  • @Y’All
    uhm… yeah, yeah it’s perverse… I’ll tell you summin perverse… that’s been buggin’ me for a couple of weeks… why do the make up artists for RT always make Max look like a thousand year old anemic vampire!!!

  • @Y’All
    Hey, joe came across like someone who is still recovering from a really heavy knock to the head…. uhm, why do most people who have anything to do with finance look like they are hitting the bottle really hard!!!

  • @ SuperGeek

    It ain’t the make up artist fault….there are limits to what one can do

    secondly

    they all appear like drunks or drug addicts because they are

    I’m curious why they all are going bald or are bald even the females.

  • @SG @chArles – in any television, film or photograph it will always be the lighting and not the makeup that creates the most flattering, or unflattering, image; in this case it is a problem with the studio we use; shining light from the side as they have on him shines a most un-flattering light and shadows, but the editor needs it as such in order to key the green screen . . . same reason I can only wear a very narrow range of black

  • @ stacyherbert

    we kid because we care….or maybe because we are cruel arrogant Sods who live quiet lives of desperation….devoid of meaning and purpose so feel this overwhelming need to attack the minor flaws of our betters.

    or we could just be bored

  • Good show, altough I thought you went a bit easy on the guest, he needed a good shove.

  • @s.herbert
    yeah, I was gonna mention the lighting… especially after looking at The Oracle clip where you seemed slightly overlit… but I’m gonna say it again… you two have a nice worfree holiday, if only to stop me from being worried for youse… plus y’all look so good in shades!!!

  • @ Wahrheit – not as much a female (we have had lots of those) but as a lesbian.

    What I really want to see is a necrophiliac ,or possibly someone who perfers sheep.

  • On second thoughts – they all perfer to screw sheeps, don’t they?

  • Have run thru a few comments and none, NONE!!! HAVE MENTIONED THE HAIR! I mean, WHAT IS WITH THE HAIR of this JW fellow? Max has wild hair, “Tyler Durden” has hair that looks as though he has had an electrical encounter with
    Tesla, but nothing I have seen in the financial blogosphere comes anywhere close to the HAIR of this Joe Weisenthal character. One must ask ones self, “what does this hair mean”?

  • Yeah – right – the hair…

    very important, even more than the make up

    content – not so much

  • Max and Stacey,
    Would you please give us an explanation by way of reconciling these seemingly contradictory ideas that we are going to have massive deflation while at the same time the value of the USD is going to keep going down. If you define deflation in Austrian terms, then by definition you are saying that there will be less and less money created, or hitting the real economy, and if that is so, it is hard to see what will in fact going to make the USD and other currencies worthless. Thanks.

  • I really like this show and the content, and you both are great……just a little 2cent advice is to get a haircut and a makeover, as people are superficial.
    Anyway as I said, I check this site daily, and like the content.
    PR,
    Canada

  • Max what is the matter with you? When you are with Stacy (before the ads) you castigate the CDS culture (rightly in my view) for the ponzi scheme that it is yet when left alone with Wiesenthal you blame corrupt governance. Of course all governments are corrupt but at least there should be some element of representation to justify their existence. But nothing can justify the INSANE cds culture. There is no need to pander to Wiesenthal’s hatred of government and abandon a direct attack on the system when you can bet your bottom dollar the Greek government is much more legitimate then that of the US.

  • Re: my earlier comment, I left out ‘under a bus’.

  • Seems like Joe misses the big picture for the short term “outlook”. It must be that the long tousled hair is disturbing his psychic field receptors. & The best headline? perhaps that was some previous headline? Or I missed something. Of course I have to respect a guy that hates ironing as much as I do.

    Part 1 was definitely the best. You two really know how to bring these infinitely incomprehensible events down to the earthly realm for us. Of course I’m probably just not religious enough to understand. I didn’t understand what Blankfein was talking about doing God’s work. I didn’t understand where all the money went either. Maybe he would come on the show to explain to us if there will be a second coming? I’d like to be there to get some back.

  • This guy weisenthal sounds like he’s been paid by Goldman Sachs.

    Blaming Greece’s fairly small internal piccadillos on the obvious orchestrated take down of their financial system.

    It’s like, “you were raped!, Well, your skirt is a little too short lady”. Hey, the rapist is just responding to you appropriately!…..sheesh.

  • Dear Max and Stacy,
    there is a prophesy in the Old Testament : Isaiah-2:20
    “In the late days of the world people will give away their gold, silver and wealth
    to the bats and moles”.

    Please quote the above verse in one of your programs, with the interpretation.
    e.g. 1) Late days would mean “these days”, could not be later than this.
    2) People using fake paper, in lieu of real money = gold & silver.
    3) Bats & Moles, both are creatures of darkness. Darkness means absence of Light, light is a simile of knowledge of Truth. Truth as in Scriptures, inspiration to Apostles, believed by billions, since ancient times, unchanged, i.e.
    The real and universal Law, that banned u$ury.
    Bats, we know, as vampires, dracula, sucking blood, energy and life sources, hooking humans and institutions into debt, a milder form of death, mort-gaged.
    Moles, are the pimps of the $ystem, herding the masses to the black-hole, the fiery deep under the hyp’no’tick pyramid-(a furnace, with fire in the middle).

  • Oh dear, what’s the point of having a bought and paid for fella like Wiesenthal on the show. he gets paid to cover the real culprits. Having said that, as we’re having a democracy, it’s porbably only fair of you.

  • looks like this guy hasnt brushed his hair since 1990 ffs .

    I find the podcasts more interesting than the tv shows as the guests provide no new info . i already know what they are going to say because max and stacy have discussed it 6 months ago .
