Trader Alessio Rastani Feels Like No One Ever Talks About The Bright Side Of The Great Depression

By

“For most traders, we don’t really care that much how they’re going to fix the economy and how they’re going to fix the whole situation [in Europe]…Personally, I have been dreaming of this moment for three years. And I have a confession to make- I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession. I dream of another moment like this. Why? People don’t really seem to remember but the 30′s depression wasn’t just about the market crash. There were some people who were prepared to make money from that crash…And anyone can do that. It isn’t just for some people in the elite. Anyone can make money. When the market crashes, when the Euro and the stock markets crash…if you know what to do…if you have the right plan set up, you can make a lot of money off of this. For example, hedging strategies is one.”

    I cant wait to sign up for this guys seminar on how to make millions during the crash. I hope he takes gold flakes as payment though as I already invested all my cash into gold cubes and spam on zerohedge's advice.

    He's right. The 30's depression not only was about people loosing there money, some 50+ millions lost there lives as a result of it but of course that's none of his business either…

    I'd give my life savings to have an NYPD senior officer run up on stage and blast this assclown with pepper spray.
