Crisis and opportunity
Watch this viral video of trader Alessio Rastani delivering blunt information about the state of the markets:
As he said Government debt is way safer than shares, that's where the smart rich money is going...
...but there are ways of preventing a nominal debt (aggregate)money (demand) starved deflationary depressive slump collapse...
...hopefully people will catch the MMT Job Guarantee bug wake up and take direct democratic action to demand and achieve sociopolitical economic policy made for the people's public purpose rather than the global plutocratic elite's!
Me thinks this is a hoax by the The Yes Men. Remember them imposing as Dow Chemicals Speaker and acknowledging the Bhopal Disaster promising full compensation for all victims. Also a BBC interview. And BTW: this "trader" (?) isn't working for a large financial institution. He's "trading" (?) on his own account.
Stephan: What? Hoax as in they staged the interview?
Mike: Euthanize a straight talker just because he's being a little facetious? IMO the real threat is the one who is disingenuous since humans are both expectant and unsuspecting.
Excellent interview.
ReplyDeleteFinally, a rational person who dispenses with the sanctimonious BS and calls it like it is.

Where's the pepper spray?
ReplyDeletePepper spray is reserved for protesters and other disenfranchised society members, not traders from large financial institutions.
ReplyDelete"I'm a trader, I go to sleep every night dreaming of a recession so I can make money on it."
ReplyDeleteSomebody euthanize this guy, please. And his ilk.

ReplyDeleteHappy to see that as of today his balls are in a vise as the market melts up.
ReplyDeleteRight,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like his is becoming the consensus view... not quite to the levels of the bond bears at the start of QE2 but could get there...
@Stephen
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Perhaps we are coming towards the end of the crisis.
