Max Keiser is an acquaintance and fellow vlogger who I’ve been following ever since VlogEurope 2005. He’s an ex-stock broker (simply said), a financial genius and he has been exposing the lies and deceptions of the world’s financial markets, players and companies for years now.
He embraced online (grassroots) media years ago, when he and his partner and producer/researcher Stacy Herbert started out with the podcast Karmabanque Radio, soon adding a videoblog, then a site to help boycott corrupt companies and on to produce news documentaries and shows on those subjects.
He’s also an independent financial analyst for Aljazeera English and he writes columns for the Huffingtonpost.
Last week Max was on Aljazeera to give his thoughts on Exxon’s record profits of $11 billion in the 2nd quarter and why their stock went down, and everything related. Leave it up to Max to call a spade a spade.
Max Keiser on Aljazeera English news, August 1 2008.
Max discusses record oil profits and peak oil; and predicts conflict in the Arctic as a means of managing diminishing oil reserves. Also talks about Exxon’s share buyback and the suppression of innovation.
UPDATE: Since Max’s appearance, oil has shot up $4! Were people listening?
Way to go, Max! (PS, I’m not rooting for rising oil prices)
WHAT TO DO NOW?
