Is The World F*cked?
Welcome to "Is The World F*cked?" - a weekly raw and irreverent look at the future... starting today! We look at where the world's going in technology, economics, social policies and lots of other crazy sh*t!
We get real about where we could be going if we got our act together, what scares the hell out of us, and what makes our heads spin.
Your hosts are Dr Bruce McCabe, The Global Futurist, and Bruce's mate, "PJ" Jones, one of the original digital marketers in this world. We kick around the big issues everyone's thinking about but might hesitate to raise in polite company, while keeping it real and having some fun. Because, without the laughs, what's the point? And then we try to decide in the end, is the world f*cked, or not?
You can check out our "day jobs" at www.brucemccabe.com and www.alexim.com.au respectively, although this podcast was never meant for our clients (we're scared to death they'll find it). This podcast is for YOU - if you're thinking about the big stuff - and whether the world is f*cked, or not!
Is The World F*cked?
#29 - The Sharemarket is Rigged! Pick Why!
Bet that got your attention! If you day trade - or anything like it - you HAVE to listen to this episode - whether your financial advisor likes it or not. Oh yeah, because to hell with all that energy stuff we've been discussing for a while, today the boys are talking money! Mullah! Bacon! Coin!
BANK!!!!!
We're channelling our inner Gordon Gekkos and ripping into the stock market mafia you never hear about. Not the run-of-the-mill ostentatious Lamborghini-revving Wall Street rip-off merchants --- but the actual cheats.
The sophisticated types, the silent quants, the ones who write superfast algorithms, gain advantage with super short connections and build software black boxes to effectively print money continuously 365 days a year while taking on ZERO risk themselves.
We have a bunch of fun discussing their slick tricks and INSANE schemes (the ones we know about!) and where they go from here.
Is greed good? Are you a day trader? This is the episode for YOU.
Make sure to share it with all your friends and tell 'em in bold capital letters: THE STOCK MARKET IS RIGGED! (allegedly - hahaha).
Or ... maybe tell 'em it's all fine and dandy, nothing to see here, while you quietly fire-up your own algorithmic trading engine. I mean, if every other bloodsucker is doing it, why not you and us? Anything for an edge, baby! Kaaaaa-ching!
And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
