His site is fantastic, and yes, he is hilarious. Love the yellow hat and am trying to absorb as much pertinent info as I can.
I listened to his talk today. Good stuff, views much aligned with my own (I could listen to people agreeing with me all day lol. Confirmation bias much?) Honestly though, what were his parents thinking. Turd? Also deed poll?
Its not his real name. The name is from a Saturday Night Live sketch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Jeopardy!_(Saturday_Night_Live)

His claim to fame on ZH was that he could track and foresee the short-term manipulation of the PM markets well. Did he accurately predict either of the major drops in silver this year however? Not really as far as I can tell. Doesn't mean he isn't a very well informed retiree and I'm certain he's making money in any market, but he ain't got a crystal ball either. His blog is still worth a look. Of course, he belongs to a much-maligned category of investor on SS: paper trader.
I like his site and read it regularly, if not daily. He is pretty good on most of his predictions, and I learn a lot about TA from his blog. However he can have a bit of a permabull slant to his predictions and no, he did not call either of the major drops as far as I can remember. I also find some of his conspiracy theories a bit much, I can't believe every move in PM prices is due to the Evil Empire! I liked his call after the CTFC position limits, expect a lot more volatility, so I'm waiting for the next drop.
