Max Keiser – The Market is a Hologram Masking Deflation

It is my thesis that the inflation, deflation debate is flawed because we no longer have reliable price signals.

Max Keiser in the News: Computerized Front Running and America’s Disneyland Economy

Stacy Summary: Two items out this morning. The first one by Ellen Brown is a fantastic piece that looks into high frequency trading and market making in regards to developments on Max’s patent, the virtual specialist technology. The second article is something posted on ZeroHedge and you will immediately notice in the headline that they use something that Max has said over and over for the past six or seven years. The piece is based on an email exchange between ZH and Mike Krieger, who wrote to Max this morning to thank him for the ‘inspiration’ on the phrase, neo-feudal gulag casino economy and to say he didn’t realize that this would be published (and thus the non-attribution).
