Dublin Opinion

In August 2007, the Al-Jazeera program People & Power ran a special report from Max Keiser about the Icelandic currency speculation bubble. Based on the carry trade, Keiser explained how the Icelandic economy was heading for a massive fall, and it did not have to do with toxic loans or sub-prime derivatives, simply good old fashioned money speculation.

I first came across Max Keiser about, oh, I’d say, maybe thirty minutes ago? Here’s a blurb on him from www.intrade.com
