It just dawned that the people who have been reading Zerohedge in anticipation of the next crisis have been wasting their time for the past six years (over 2000 days). Think about that: Six years of refreshing Zerohedge – sometimes multiple times a day – for that headline that is supposed to precipitate the next… Continue reading The Great Zerohedge Disappointment
