is that a "Higher Low"-Bottoming formation, on the VIX?

and, is that a "Rounding Over"-Top (Near-Intermediate Term) on the SPX?

nice Wrappage, AmenRa~

fwiw, there is a VIX sell signal in place

however, I think a quant would tell you that VIX signals have different performance above and below 25

here:

bottom of the page

http://evilspeculator.com/?page_id=24885

just a note of caution, not sure if people here track any breadth studies but every single rally peak since the start of the 09 rally has taken place after negative divergence on many of these studies, as of now, there is little very little ND to speak of

I wouldn't rule out a further push to the upside but there are probably several new fresh longs in the market that are to be shaken out first, thats what appears is going on in Apple to me

keep an eye on the COT.....

cv said...

Haven't been around for a coupla dayz, but this...

I don't know what the 'evidence' is in this case....but the punishment seems wildly excessive

~~~

The NFL is just protecting it's "SHIELD"... Which means the following...

- Despite the fact that cv loves the NFL... Just like everything other "institutionalized" thing in America, it should be called the "NFSL" (National FULL OF SHIT League)...

Look, I'm not advocating "bounties" or anything of the sort... But IT IS A VIOLENT LEAGUE (& that's why the ROMANS love it so)... The players (GLADIATORS) love it for the samwe reason... They "think" differently than you & I... They want the glory of being on SportsCenter every night... Just watch the TOP 10 plays every day on ESPN... In the NBA, it's all about wild dunks...

In the NFL... "Highlight hits" mean dollars (more than the bounties paid)... A hard hit projects F-E-A-R... & there's one thing more than anything else that will end your NFL career SOONER rather than later, & that's FEAR...

This helmet on helmet collision bullshit is all the same thing... The "shield" (NFL) trying to LEGISLATE actions that simply cannot be controlled in milliseconds of response time (no matter how the collision looks on slo-motion tape)...

The NFL DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT PLAYERS... The NFL GIVES A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THE NFL... (which, is a committee of 'slave owners')... It's 21st century SLAVERY & GLADIATOR GAMES... Accept it for what it's worth & dispense with anything else...

If they are REALLY concerned about player safety... cv can fix it in 2 seconds...

Go back to playing without helmets & pads...

There... fixed it 4 ya!

(otherwise ~ embrace the mayhem)...

cv said...

NFL punishments are nothing but a bunch of jews protecting their LEGAL interests...

YES ~ they want everybody to beat each other to a pulp...

They just don't want to get SUED for it later on...

Carry on...

b22 said...

I've got mixed feelings on this Saints thing, and I think Ra is correct in saying all the teams do that probably

you guys ever watch any of those NFL Classic films?

always narrated by Steve Sabol it seemed

anyway, some of those teams like the Steel Curtain, old school (and new school Oakland Raiders) and so on....."mean" Joe Green comes to mind

I've little doubt that I recall those guys flat out admitting in those videos they were out to knock people out cold/break bones, etc. The were looking to inflict the most pain possible all the time, those guys were straight nasty and thats the way it was and everyone knew it

I'm not promoting the bounty either, I don't like the idea that you would take away a mans livelihood in such a manner, but at the same time

its football.......and truth be told I love seeing a guy getting his clock cleaned on a legal hit. don't all of you when you are watching a game?

some WR coming across the middle and ....BLAMMMO! ball comes flying out......

come on......its football! we used to try to do that to each other in the back yard growing up

b22 said...

"NFL punishments are nothing but a bunch of jews protecting their LEGAL interests..."

Is that a Jewish thing or a people thing, protecting one's legal interests?

@ben

For the sake of this blog, it's adviseable to NOT get me started on that subject...

In reality... I'm as reasonable as the next person... but I'm really starting to get FED UP with having political correctness shoved down my throat...

Honestly... I was never like this in my life (& I honestly don't think my present feelings are anything "LATENT")...

I'll give you an example (& let you decide)... Which is arguably hard to do over an interenet blog...

I'm going to start this story with my next comment...

cv said...

@ben

OK ben... Here goes...

The other day (remember ~ I have been away for about a day or so because I was otherwise busy & unconnected)... Remember, practically the last comment I made was that I was doing a marathon fantasy baseball $$ keeper draft)...

Anyway ~ while doing that draft, I was otherwise occupying my time clicking on ESPN stories... One story was Lance Berkman (Cards), speaking out about BUD SELIG (baseball commisioner: so, think 'Bernanke', Geithner, Paulson, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, 'Stern" [NBA commisioner], or any of the Hollywood brass [Eisner, Silverstein, Redstone, Tish); or just think of the "ownership" families anywhere (from the Mara's [NY Giants], to Wilpons [Mets], Snyder [Redskins], Irsay [Colts]... Man ~ I don't have to go down the list... You like research, do it yourself... There is an UBER REPRESENTATION of jewish influence & ownership in sports, media, publications, & Hollywood...

Coincidence?

~~~~

(back to the "story" on my next comment, AFTER you do your due diligence to see that I'm not making this all up)...

b22 said...

CV,

thats cool, I don't give a rats ass about you being PC, its just that the jewish stuff is so overdone, its always money something

lots of peoples love money......seems a lot of people have problems with jews for the same exact things lots of other people do too, said another way

b22 said...

sure, you aren't going to hit as hard without pads

but its easier to take cheap shots when there are no pads/helmet

our jungle involved several thrown elbows that were 'part of the tackle'

this cuse/wisconsin game has been great

cv said...

So the 'Berkman vs. Selig' story (Remember ~ Berkman is a very well liked guy in Houston because of his many years played there)... Was basically Berkman saying that BUD SELIG was a 'conniving slimeball' in the efforts (next year), to move the Houston Astros to the American League... He called it for what it was worth... ALL about $$$, & legacy for Selig & NOT in the best interests of baseball or the loyal Houston Fans (Houston started as a NL franchise in '62 and has ALWAYS been there ~ but 'ZELIG' doesn't give a shit about any of that as long as he can line his own pockets...

~~~

Anyway ~ There were a bunch of live comments on the thread already (I'd say 19 out of 20 were AGAINST Selig & what a slimeball he is and has always been)... But all of it had stuck to a BASEBALL tone...

Until cv came in... I typed ONE SINGLE LINE... Basically... "Selig is Jewish, so it's not unexpected that he would 'sell-out' the Astros & behave in that fashion"...

I'm telling you man... THIS IS TRUE... Not 6 FUCKING SECONDS LATER, a reply came to my comment, which said... "You sir, are what's WRONG with this COUNTRY!"... I'm not shitting you... 6 seconds... FUCK... It would have taken me 6 seconds to even TYPE that reply... But I'll leave that for later...

(this story continues)...

b22 said...

CV,
also, my comment had nothing to do with the fact that lots of jews are in powerful places, thats pretty common knowledge

I'm saying billions of other people desire to be the same.....thats all, most people aren't any different iow, they just aren't "there"......

b22 said...

wow, what a finish

cv said...

So let's take the guys (6 second reply) at face value... You, ben, are the type that likes to get to the true heart of things... avoid all the fluff, & that... right?... So let's go...

#1 ~ I can't say there was any critical evaluation... I mean, for chissakes, it would tave taken me longer than 6 seconds to actually TYPE the response...

#2 ~ His statement specifically said "You (which means CV) are what's WRONG with this country (which basically acknowledges something is WRONG with this country)... I wasn't talking about countries, I was just referring to slimeball SPORTSLEAGUE COMMISSIONERS who happen to make slimeball policy moves (which 19 out of 20 commenters on the same blog AGREED was a slimeball move)... I just tried to cut to the core to make it more understandable...

#3 ~ I didn't mention this before, but as I attempted to formulate a reply to this REPLY-ER (my reply was going to dredge up Geithner, Paulson, Rahm Emmanuel, Bernanke, Greenspan, Dimon, Blankfein... Hell ~ I could have probably gotten to apologist Ritholtz, given time)... ANYWAY... All of a sudden, everything was deleted (probably some moderator on ESPN [owned by ABC Cap Cities, owned by Disney, run by Eisner])... I mean LITERALLY, from START TO FINISH, this whole episode took place (or, I guess, NEVER EXISTED, within the space of less than 45 seconds)... Honest to God!...

~~~

So let's get back to the REAL PROBLEM... You know, the problen that "CV" (me, a singular person, is wholly responsible for what's WRONG in America)... Jeez ~ If you watch the evening news, NOTHING is "wrong" with America... Unemployment is DOWN, stock market is UP, economy is on the MEND... & we're just about ready to force project & put the "whuppin stick" on those bad Iranian brown people because they MIGHT pose a nuCULEAR threat to out "friends" Israel (all brought to you by Reuters & AP (which are both owned by the never to be mentioned RED SHIELD)...

How could there poissibly be anything WRONG (within the 2 seconds of conditioned response it takes to reply to an internet comment without pausing to reflect upon the matter)?...

(continued)...

cv said...

But... Apparently there IS something WRONG (&, of course, CV himself is at the bottom of it)...

Let's forget about the fact that I have NO POWER WHATSOEVER...

The most powerful thing I could possibly do is VOTE, but that means nothing in an election where JPM & GS fund the campaigns of BOTH SIDES of the candidates that they want...

It's like the scene in Good Will Hunting... Belt? Wrench? (what do you want to be BEAT with)...

I'd vote for Ron Paul... But we all know that he doesn't even exist (because MSM avoids him like the plague)... The MSM controlled by????

(not AIPAC ~ that's for sure)

Yeah ~ I'm personally what's wrong with America...

- I have the power to counterfeit money (like Bernanke)

- I have the ability to influence policy (like Emmanuel)

- I get FREE money (via counterfeit) to manipulate markets (like Dimon & Blankfein)

- I use 'kinsmen' benefactors to produce movies about homosexuals that ride in to Germany and kill nazis

- I control the press & the airwaves

- I own most of the gladiators

SURE ~ CV is what's WRONG with America... I freely admit that... Posterize me... I'm the anti-christ by golly!

As soon as you get rid of CV... The world will INSTANTLY become a utopia...

@ben

Since you're probably still trying to straddle the fence (despite the preponderance of evidence)...

Let me remind you that our fantasy BB draft is this weekend...

So I'd HIGHLY suggest that you use Matthew Berry (short for 'Bernstein') as your resident "non-goyim" GURU in preparing your draft strategy...

Yeah ~ you know, that same OVER-HYPED dillweed that INSISTED that dog killing Mike Vick should be your #1 pick in the FF draft last fall...

He's a fucking yarmulke wearing GENIUS I tell ya! (which is why eisner run ESPN loves him so)...

@AAIP

I don't know man...

Except ~ I do know myself... I know I'm not RACIST or ANTI-SEMITIC at heart (when it comes to ordinary individual humans acting in ordinary INDIVIDUALISTIC humans at face value)... (Groups ~ acting as "packs" ~ can offer a different dynamic... Especially as they gain a socio-economic power wave advantage)...

I also acknowledge that 'civility' (in my daily experience) happens ALL THE TIME (amongst cultural relations ~ which I happen to marginally discount, because ONE ON ONE relations often play different, in practice, to GROUP DYNAMICS)...

I'm telling you... I'm certain that I won't be around forever (on this blog ~ or as a sideshow to anybody's life that might be reading my words right now)... But I DO like to try to TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORLD AS I EXPERIENCE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY)... So with what little opportunity I have, I'd like to try to say things that people might remember...

I've learned ONE THING (in my 30 years of teaching group fitness ~ communicating with people EVERY SINGLE DAY FACE TO FACE)... There is ONLY ONE THING that stands the test of time...

TRUTH

Truth always perseveres...

So ~ anybody reading anything I've written over time... Just remember that... TRUTH is my bible... I rarely "sugarcoat" things...

It's rarely popular... (until it is)...

Sorry to hear that...

I'm sorry that it causes so much pain & turmoil in your life to spend one or two seconds to consider a dissenting POV on what you're spoonfed...

Carry on with your beliefs that:

- Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone
- That towelheads with boxcutters (whose "command center" were caves on the Afghan/Pakistan border, comandeered 4 US planes (none of which, any PLANE remnants were found), using boxcutters, (not to mention the 5th 'ghost' plane which, I guess, crashed into WTC7 and sent it in to a controlled demolition & that the entire wreckage contained ubiquitous amounts of "nano-thermite" [which is, I guess, what towel heads do in their spare time in caves of Afghanistan])... Jeez we were lucky... LUCKY I tell you! that despite the 'vaporized' rubble of the WTC collapse, they were able to find pristine passport identification of these TAWDRY CULPRITS...

that's found across socio-economic + religious 'factions', thoughout the Globe..

and, you know, I'll tell you a story, from the flip-side...a ways back, early-90s, if it's relevant, I was driving through the South..came across a 'Bible College'..it was a really nice day, even the 'Classes' were being held outside..

so, after I Parked, was walking around/through the Campus..one of the 'Teachers', seemed like a jr. Clergyman, called me over to 'sit in' on his Class..

it was great, the 'students' were 'into it', they 'dug' their 'teacher'..the 'teacher' was "w/it"..

'Class' breaks up, 'students' stay around/milling about in groups..further discussing the 'lesson'...

the 'teacher' comes over to me, and after a "hi, what's your name, where ya from, what's your Major?", starts asking me what 'I thought' about the 'class'..

told him ~"it was great, it's obvious your 'students' like you, you have a great way of communicating Ideas, with passion.. ...."

LSS: I asked him, ~"hey, there are a lot og good Ideas in 'The Bible', though, many never hear/study them, b/c, for some reason, or another, they think they think that "Jesus Christ" is something they'd be better off not knowing about...Why not 're-tell' the lessons, w/o mentioning 'Christ'?"

He was understanding what I was saying, agreed with the observation, thought that 'people' would be 'better off' if they understood the 'lessons' "by any means", but----but, he said, in summation, ~"it would, ultimately, do no Good, for "w/ Christ, is the Only Way.."
~~~

wtf is that about?

you seem to have a need to 'name Names', you are forgetting that the (negative), of that, has great Currency..

as the 'flip-side' has to the Christian Church..

given that, in those 'venues', "go against the Grain, you'll be out of Bread.."

doesn't mean you can't speak the 'Fact of the Matter(s)', but 'when in Rome..'

Interesting Story... I'll say this (from my own ideas ~ not an interpretation of your story)...

"SEMITISM" (anti-or whatever)... has NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION...

"RACISM" has nothing to do with race...

~~~

IMO ~ It all has to do with "gang mentality" (which is a point I'm not sure whether or not you were trying to make because sometimes I fail to construct your prose...

Power in numbers (& I believe that HUMANS are hardwired, after generations upon generations, to comprehend that PACKS = POWER)...

Since you seem to adore 'verification' tactics... I'll post the following QUOTES (which CV adores)... All by an OMG "jew" (Ayn Rand)...

~~~

"If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject"

~~~

"Rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)..."

~~~

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities"

~~~

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force..."

~~~

"The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it..."

~~~

Helena Blavatsky (another JEW) is, almost without question, my all time favorite...

Sorry... BTW... I love those Ayn Rand quotes...

But I doubt you'll be so motivated as to whether or not to research them (which may or may not fit with your personal bias)...

Until anyone here has read "THE SECRET DOCTRINE" or "ISIS UNVEILED" (which cv has done TWICE, cover to cover, over decade spans, to determine their lasting relevance)...

CV,

ah....rather than straddle the fence I went to watch hoops while you finished your novel as it became clear you were going to take some time with that

let me just say this

I find it hilarious that you say stuff to Bruce such as that he would prefer "spoon-fed" material over your "truth"....which you could hardly source, of course

you just read the "world domination tour" 101 that any Joe Blow would have found by doing their first google search on the evil Jews and then rattled off a bunch of last names as your "proof"

so, you know, its pretty much like all your other rants

oh, and that part up there where you explain to people that until they have read the books you have (twice!), they couldn't possibly have a conversation with you

thats pretty funny too

is that sort of like "I'm a PhD in economics, and unless you are, you have no business even saying the wordm, discussing the dollar, in fact, go back to your corner and shut your mouth"

I trust your mighty memory can recall your reaction to being told such things back in the TBP days......

Now I'm going to go straddle a stack of dollars

In the meantime, if someone you'll NEVER ever meet, see, converse with personally, says something to you on a message board on ESPN today

well, you know, try not to get too bent out of shape over it

I trust people quoting such things spent a lot of time in the Old Test where it is plainly laid out how Ishmael and Isaac's descendants were to make their way in the world.....or perhaps people would have taken time to understand where Hagar "the servant" came from....but I highly doubt that.

When she is questioned "where have you come from, and where are you going"

her answer, reveals much.

er, wait

Jews put other jews in certain jobs?

oh mean, NO other ethnic group does that right?

right!?

I'll stick with what I said yesterday, most people have fairly similar motivations in life, regardless of their race, religion, etc. I didn't say all people, I said most....even Jews.

The theme of this is not "CV's blatant indifference towards the feelings of others is due to intense misunderstanding, suspicion, and maybe fear." I'll waste more time by stating, by now, you've already heard countless arguments running in that vein and are probably pretty sick of them. The theme of this is "many don't care a brass farthing about what CV thinks." His insuperable acrasia is partly to blame for that, but another part of the story is that everyone that's at loggerheads with CV on least important issues. Namely, he argues that he is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative. Many realize that they believe in "live and let live". CV, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his allocutions but endorsement of them. It's because of such obnoxious demands that many assert that we must say "no" to his ugly ramblings. Common-sense understanding of human nature tells us that he uses obscure words like "you missed the point" and "there, fixed it for ya" to conceal his agenda to use our false weaknesses to his advantage. Some find that having to process phrases like those makes them feel hoodwinked, definitely frustrated and angry. That's why most strive for utmost clarity whenever they explain to others that each rung on the ladder of Pyrrhonism. Each crisis supplies an excuse for CV to prime the pump of phallocentrism. That is the standard process by which the most simple-minded busybodies most ever seen suppress those who would seek to learn the truth about CV's lousy, belligerent excuses. I'm not the only one who thinks that CV takes things out of context, twists them around, and then neglects to provide decent referencing so the reader can check up on him. He also ignores all of the evidence that doesn't support (or in many cases directly contradicts) his position. Why is CV muzzling his adversaries? He says he's doing it for some worthy cause. In reality, CV is doing it because it is better to be a little old-fashioned but honest and loyal than enlightened and modern but twisted and catty. So what's the connection between that and his screeds? The connection is that most are confused and bewildered. Most don't see any indication that he has previously given any new thought to the matter—before trying to sow the seeds of discord. His ruminations have experienced a considerable amount of evolution (or perhaps more accurately, genetic drift) over the past few months, more accurate, years. They used to be simply sordid. Now, not only are they both repeatedly borderline violent and small-minded, but they also serve as unequivocal proof that one of CV's favorite tricks is to create a problem, then offer the solution. Naturally, it's always his solutions that grant him the freedom to redefine success and obscure failure, never the original problem. And what the hell do "jews" have to do with technical trading?

Q's,

that was impressive. well stated sir.

as for your last question:

"And what the hell do "jews" have to do with technical trading"

yes, exactly, nothing!....but then:

"one of CV's favorite tricks is to create a problem"

Impressive rant... But in the PREAMBLE to all of the above, I did offer a disclaimer & warning...

@ben

For the sake of this blog, it's adviseable to NOT get me started on that subject...

Ben asked

"Whats with that CV?"

I responded in turn... If you're not interested in knowing the answers to things... I suggest you don't ask...

AmenRa said...

There weren't kidding. Look at a 1-min chart of AAPL at 10:58AM EST. You can clearly see the move down to 542.80 followed by a couple of minutes of no trading.

Corzine... Shame Shame...

Remember though... It "is" actually CV that's the problem with this country...

- I steal from nobody
- I have no agenda which harms others
- I don't enslave people
- I'm good to my family members
- (except on blogs)... I'm polite & courteous
- I tell the truth (as best as I observe it)

@Amen

You heard about the BATS story today...

More "technical glitches" I suppose... It was probably all CV's fault... Sorry for causing all the problems in your technical trading lives peeps... I managed to do it while mowing the grass...

Damn I'm good!

I'll make it even simpler for you (in an effort to save you from Thesaurus time)... You don't need to be Sigmund Frued here...

"genetic drift" = finally coming to the realization (after Jackson Hole 2010 ~ which I have stated many times)... That it's all simply passed into the late stages of an elaborate Ponzi scheme...

You all are still players... I'm not...

I have no "duty" here... Most of you would prefer that I leave... I'd be glad to oblige... If I do, you'd happen to MISS the one dissenting voice in the bunch...

You all are technical traders... As such, you probably understand what happens when 99 traders are lined up on one side of a trade and ONE is on the other side... Keep that in mind...

cv said...

A final message (to all) on that subject...

~~~

It's fairly clear (to me, at least)... That most of you are suppressing a lot more internal emotions than I am at present...

After all ~ I make a comment on the subject and the entire blog spontaneously combusts...

I feel 'comfortable' talking about the subject in the open... Most people are scared to death to even whisper about it (for fear of what others might think their opinion is on the general subject)...

Lines get quickly drawn, and people scurry for safe haven...

It's kind of an interesting 'practical endeavor' on social interaction...

~~~

What makes me laugh, sometimes, is the outright FULL OF SHITTEDNESS (behaviorally speaking) of some people...

For example... I can count probably a half dozen times in the past 2 months or so where Bruce 'linked' some article (from ZH) as the first comment of the morning...

Of course... the 'LINK' wasn't to ZH... Instead, it was to Businesweek, or NY Times, or wherever... (Bruce ~ linking the ZH link ~ as if Bruce, master of breaking economic news, has a Bloomberg terminal at the salt mine & scours the headlines 24/7 to come up with the relevant story of the day)... Amazing coincidence!

The FOS factor is that he 'hides' the fact that he pulled the story from ZH (or Tyler Durden), & represents it as his own investigative reporting...

"Look peeps ~ here's the trading news of the day"

Then, to go along with everyone else on this blog, he'll join the choir of voices saying that all the ZH crowd is a bunch of racist doomsday preppers...

Whatever...

@your 17:40

there's no way that that's "Bruce"'s 'motive', or 'intent'..

why you think you need to take it that way is, quite, beyond me..

as well, I, highly, doubt that ~anybody, here, sees it as: "...Bruce, master of breaking economic news.../...here's the trading news of the day..."

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality, unless you tunnel a silver bullet thru your noggin.

CV,

on the contrary, it's not at all that I didn't want the answer

I just said your answer was bullshit

I asked, you gave it, I responded

if you don't like my reaction to your "truth", in turn, you do not have to continue to reply to me

b22 said...

and do stop pretending you offered up "the truth"

it would far more accurate to say you offered "your truth"

b22 said...

that idea about bruce yanking headlines from ZH in such a manner

thats funny dude that you came up with that, you should be a writer, but I know, you have no interest in earning any income from anything.....ok.

could I offer my own explanation of those links?

1. Zero Hedge is a mainstream blog, little doubt about this
2. It is also an angry retail hangout
3. They appear to post about 30-40 threads a day, in which case, it would be very hard to claim their content doesn't overlap with plenty of other sites.
4. They have their own brand of propaganda, plain as day to anyone that can think critically and they lie, constantly. One key example were the fanatical horse-shit claims about JPM's short silver position.

now, here's the thing, I see those links by Bruce, they are typically something along the lines of:

"chinese PMI drops for the third month, collapse around the corner"
"German exports decline unexpectedly in Q4, collapse around the corner"
"seasonally adjusted the u6 unemployment rate divided by the ratio of pi to phi means.....collapse around the corner"
"spanish bond yields skyrocket, collapse around the corner"

personally I think it might just be Bruce's way to say....here's what I came across this morning

anyway, my point is, pretty much every headline I've ever seen Bruce link, it could be found on many dozens of blogs, financial sites, or the yahoo home page.

really, are we going to pretend that ZH is first on each of these stories every day and Bruce wants to cover that up?

that is really some kind of puzzle that just got put together there, I think my explanation is more realistic.

also, I've had my share of disagreement with Bruce in the past certainly, but I find it hard to believe that he would go to such an effort to cover up that he visits ZH, in fact, if I'm not mistaken one time when I was being very critical of ZH he stepped up and said that it was a good blog if you could comb through a lot of the shit, he defended those guys.

I'm not trying to "gang up" on you CV, I just can't help but respond to many of the things you claim
