CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY GLOBAL FINANCIAL MELTDOWN? NOT IF YOU HAD WATCHED THE ORACLE!
 Max Keiser looks into the future every Friday on BBC World . . . coming soon

BBC World News is working with Max Keiser, the creator of the Hollywood Stock Exchange, to produce “The Oracle,” a weekly entertaining look into the future with the help of today’s headlines and prediction market charts.

The Oracle’s partners include Eldorado Pictures, the production company of Emmy award winning star, Alec Baldwin.

BBC World News Head of Programmes, Paul Gibbs, says: ‘If Max had been on our screens a year ago the current global financial crisis would not have been a surprise. It might not even have happened.’

Alec Baldwin, who has enjoyed a relationship, both personal and professional, with Keiser for nearly 30 years says, “I’m excited to be working with Max on The Oracle. Keiser combines blazing intellect, total irreverence and searing honesty to put forth news and commentary like no one else can.”

The Oracle is planned to air every weekend from early 2009 on BBC World News. Celebrity and expert guests join Max to pore over the prediction market charts to see where people are predicting today’s news might lead.

    Congrats!

    Looks like the Max credibility market has soared to dizzying heights in the space of a few weeks.

    And although there are probably many things I dont completely agree with Max about, Id like to thank you deeply for helping me to be psychologically prepared for the events that are now unfolding. If only Id had some assets, Id be financially prepared too, oh well ;)

    This is great news and gives me real satisfaction that you are on the BBC.

    I think that it does show imagination and bravery on BBC’s part, although I find the corporation itself pedantic and cowardly in the face of litigation, this move might herald a new era in journalism.

    Max, Stacy,

    Congratulations to both of you. I have been wanting this to be on television and have been on my soapbox demanding this since I saw the pilot.

    I’m very happy to learn that it will finally be broadcasted.

    I feel like celebrating! :) Champagne anyone?

    Peter Schiff, -LOL! Surely he’s invited to join the fun during the paid commercial segements. BTW, I like them both with a sprinkling of Ron Paul and cup of Bob Chapman.

    But, that’s not why we’re here. We want to know exactly the last possible second before the coming –9,400. (and change) TRUE bottom of the market. And, (given the recent nature of this parlor game,) who’s “shorting” this bottom anyway? Could the DOW actually land in Negative territory? Would these companies like GM actually pay us to take away their rusty production equipment, and to re-train (or let’s face it, to replace) their dumbed-down, fluoridated ( labotomized? ) American work force?

    Fantastic! Don’t get sucked into softening & selling-out when they ask you to omit warnings for wider access.

    I don’t have many heroes left. It’ll be hurtful to see Max compromise any of the real Max.
