Here’s a pretty remarkable interview with independent stock and forex trader Alessio Rastani on the BBC this morning, in which he’s either being perfectly candid about how traders are viewing the Eurozone crisis, or he’s just trolling. Anyway, he’s a sociopath.
He says that the euro’s collapse is inevitable and that the “savings of millions of people are going to vanish,” within the next year, and there’s not much that governments can do about it — not that he cares one way or the other:
“For most traders we don’t really care about having a fixed economy, having a fixed situation, our job is to make money from it,” he said. “Personally, I’ve been dreaming of this moment for three years. I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession.”
It’s all in the game, I know. But future generations will question the wisdom of worshipping these guys as job-creating geniuses. If there are future generations.
