I remember one particular episode of his podcast many years ago, in which he explained perfectly and entertainingly the manner in which offshore slush funds are exploited by banks to obfuscate the bad debt on their books. That was Max Keiser at his best. He rarely would delve into explicating such practices, but when he did, he was very enlightening. I would pay a hefty amount of satoshis for an mp3 of that particular episode.
I also remember his really old website on which a grinning likeness of himself was being crucified. For professional reasons, it's understandable that he now dissociates himself from such dark humor, but that was the Max Keiser I used to enjoy. I was just starting my investing career back then, and it was motivating listening to his podcasts every week.
And anyone who's willing to take a chance by having Richard Stallman on his show deserves some kudos.
Above all, it's Max's comedic rants that steal the show. Smart guy, too.
Nonetheless, I stopped listening to and watching Max years ago due to his, and especially Stacy's, over-bearing political commentarynot that I always disagree, but I wish they'd focus more on informing their audience what's going on in finance, instead of making predictable snarky comments every minute. Come to think of it, I mostly blame Stacy.
