ZeroHedge Dominates San Francisco Fed Poll

August 19, 2011 1:27 PM EDT
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco wants to know what economic blogs people are reading. So far, the overwhelming response is for bearish-leaning blog ZeroHedge.

Right now the count is 152 votes for ZeroHedge out of 214 total votes. The next highest tally comes for Calculated Risk at 14.

You can check out the poll on Facebook here.

For those that don't know ZeroHedge, it is an in-tune market blog that pulls no punches in documenting the unprecedented times we live in. The blog picked up popularity during the credit-crisis and its momentum appears to be growing with the latest market volatility. ZeroHedge has a great grasp on all things financial and posts with wit and vigor.

Most of the posts at ZeroHedge come anonymously from Tyler Durden, the mayhem-causing character from Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club. The book was later made into a movie starring Brad Pitt.

While reading ZeroHedge will almost certainly make you want to hunker down in your bunker with your gold stash, it is entertaining and informative for bears and bulls alike.

Although all sides of the market read ZeroHedge, today's informal poll from the San Francisco Fed could suggest the overall mood in the market is overwhelmingly bearish. Contrarians take note!
