Zero Hedge is a financial blog that aggregates news and presents editorial opinions from original and outside sources. It reports on economics, Wall Street, and the financial sector and is credited with bringing the controversial practice of flash trading to public attention in 2009 via a series of posts alleging that Goldman Sachs' access to flash order information allowed it to gain unfair profits. The news portion of the site is written by a group of editors who collectively write under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden", a character from the novel and film Fight Club.
Zero Hedge was founded in January 2009. Posts are signed "Tyler Durden," a character in the Chuck Palahniuk book and movie Fight Club, reflecting the news site's activist posture. Despite speculation that "Tyler Durden" is a pseudonym of Daniel Ivandjiiski, who was penalized for insider trading in New York in September 2008, Ivandjiiski denies being a founder of Zero Hedge. Rather, he says he is one of several writers contributing to the site under the pseudonym. In an interview, one editor claimed that there are four editors in total at Zero Hedge but another editor said there were up to 40. Some of the editors have professional experience in finance and business operations roles.
I know there's more to you than you'll ever let me see.
They've got your love turned around and filled up with disbelief.
I see that part of you that you try to hide so well.
They don't see you crying out and they don't see the tears
they've been blinded by their holy verse to the point where they don't
care.
They judge your words, judge your life without ever judging theirs.
They tell you all you need, without ever asking you.
How can you just go along without ever asking why?
You don't have to fool yourself
I don't deny we all need some help
they turned your life into an ongoing show,
but I saw the life that disappeared, long ago.
You seem to want to find in me, some doubt or disbelief.
I know there's more to you than you'll ever let me see.
