Stockbrokers are actually following Jose Canseco on Twitter for his financial advice

Jose Canseco: Bash Brother, mixed martial artist, financial advisor.

A truly stunning Wall Street Journal story Thursday details how actual, real, non-fictional stockbrokers and financial advisors are taking advice from Jose Canseco.

"I remember thinking at the time that he was kind of bang on with what was happening" one financial advisor interviewed for the story said. "... Jose Canseco is schooling us all right now."

Oh god, the financial markets really are screwed. Get ready to leave society and move into the woods.

According to the story, Canseco has developed a "cult following" for his contrarian — but often accurate — viewpoints about the global financial market.
