Reading ZH like Reddit will always turn out to be toxic. It isn&#x27;t just the low signal-to-noise ratio. The site&#x27;s core Austrian philosophy is at odds with the forefront of economic evidence.<p>I skim it from time to time. Very quickly. If I see something interesting, I look look at the source. If it&#x27;s credible, <i>e.g.</i> Reuters, I cautiously read. If it isn&#x27;t, I research it. Once in a while I&#x27;ll come across novel, credible sources this way. This is the No. 1 way to get value from ZH.<p>The other time I read ZH is when I have a specific crisis on mind, <i>e.g.</i> Greece&#x2F;Brazil&#x2F;Venezuela shitting the pot. ZH throws up a good sense of how the bear market <i>feels</i>. Still terrible analysis. But good sentiment stock.
