“How to Destroy a Bank”
Your humble blogger is quoted at some length in this Playboy article (yes, article, remember the classic male wink and nod about buying Playboy for its articles) along with Bill Black. This piece was heralded in the New York Times. An excerpt: On the night of March 10, 2010 an otherwise anonymous American financial writer […]

This interview of Maria Bartiromo, of her new book, The Weekend That Changed Wall Street, was taped back in September. Some readers may deem it to be a bit softball, but a book TV program isn’t a format that lends itself to pointed questions. In fact, I found the experience a bit like what I […]

I enjoyed the interview on Russia TV, but boy, the lighting was harsh!
Read more...Appearance on Max Keiser Show
Keiser is admittedly hyperbolic, but his colorful style has been effective in calling attention to some of the bad practices of financial institutions. This taping was on the day when I seemed to be the Typhoid Mary of studio operations. The audio kept failing (although the folks in NYC told me that happened often with […]
Read more...Your Humble Blogger Nearly Does a Pratfall on BNN
My end of this little segment was shot at Nasdaq, and I’ve been at that location a few times (although they have quite a few little booths at Nasdaq for this sort of thing). And one point in the show, I leaned forward in the chair….and the chair gave out beneath me! I didn’t check […]

Some readers already found the CSPAN segment via comments in Links yesterday, so I hope you bear with me posting it for the benefit of other readers. Although I’ve done a fair bit of call in on radio, this was my first time on TV. I think readers will find the mix of questions interesting.

Read more...Tom Adams in the media
Augmenting Ed’s recent links re Tom Adams, regular readers will remember Yves got a magazine cover and write-up in Calcalist. Now Tom Adams, another contributor to “Naked Capitalism”, (and ECONned helper, Magnetar sleuth, etc etc), has got a writeup by Calcalist. The main article is here, and it’s all in Hebrew, which Google Translate struggles […]

The After Hours show on BNN (Canada’s thoughtful answer to CNBC) is a bit of a cross between market wrap and commentary. Hope you enjoy it! You can view the segment here.

Read more...Your Humble Blogger is on a Magazine Cover (!)
I am on the cover of a magazine I cannot read. Calcalist is the leading Israeli business daily. The author of the article (4500 words), Uri Pasovsky, said: The cover says something like: “This is Susan Webber, a brilliant economist who crossed the lines and, under the pen name Yves Smith, runs Naked Capitalism, the […]

A Naked Capitalism double header on BNN today. Rob Parenteau preceded our segment and discussed the outlook for the Eurozone: You can view the segment here. We then discussed other aspects of the wild market action on Thursday as well as financial reform. Our chat is here. Enjoy!
Read more...We Discuss “Does Wall Street Own Washington?” on TVO
This is a full length show with three other guests, with the topic actually being “who was to blame for the crisis, Washington or Wall Street?” I must confess, I didn’t use the obvious line: for the financial service industry’s backers to complain that lack of regulation caused the crisis is like someone who has […]
