"This is not a time right
now for wishful thinking that governments are going to sort things out,"
Rastani said in a recent interview with BBC "The
governments don't rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world."
The statement came towards the
end of an almost three and a half minute interview in which Rastani warned
viewers to "get prepared" for the inevitable: "The savings of
millions of people are going to vanish" in less than a year, he said.
"This economic crisis is
like a cancer, if you just wait and wait thinking this will go away, just like
a cancer it's going to grow and it's going to be too late," he continued.'
Fear over the fragility of the
European economy has become pronounced in recent weeks. Prompted in part by
concerns that the region could enter recession and affect the global economy,
stocks composing the Dow Jones Industrial Average in September suffered
it's worst week since 2008, according to Reuters.
In spite of statements like
Rastani's, Euro policymakers continue to press ahead with possible reforms.
Currently, they are working to bolster their 440 billion-euro rescue fund,
after being criticized by leaders from both China and the U.S. for letting
Greece's debt crisis already wreak havoc on global stocks, according to
Reuters.
But the crash will be good news
for traders, Rastani told the stunned BBC anchors.
"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."
Rastani said traders aren't the
only ones who can benefit from the crisis.
"When the market crashes...
if you know what to do, if you have the right plan set up, you can make a lot
of money from this."
Why does anyone act surprised?
