Alessio Rastani on Frost over the World with Sir David Frost.

[UKSTREETNEWZ]

[vassilis01]

[NiN505]

[alphARegen]

You know what gets me.. The amount of people who are angry at this man (who happens to be one of the only people brave enuff to come on CNN and TELL THE TRUTH..) I know that what he says is scary, and it's a grim truth to our present reality, but sleeping through all this will not make you any safer. It's time for people to wake up.

[IwillBwaiting]

''Average'' people.That alone sounded very wrong.

If the hedgefund master really dreams of another recession upon recession , wouldn't it be wonderful for him if that was accompanied by more nitwits on the market wasting theirs and other peoples money to speed things up a little bit for A.R.

Seeing as the only thing left seperating us from our less fortunate brothers worldwide , meaning status , is vaporating before our eyes.

The value of your house , your car , your ... life ?

[LamboSpyder99]

Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best.

[YEELKEED]

I trust this guy more than my government.

[folgermichael]

Way to cut off the only uplifting sentence in his entire interview...

[tnedunth]

What an amateur, real traders don't talk like this.

[tempss]

@tnedunth amateurs generalize. 

[tnedunth]

@tempss i am an institutional trader, not a day trader sitting at home in his undies. He talks like a noob.

[tempss]

@tnedunth You dont even risk your own money! LOLOL

[kashifbashir204]

I think with your Entrepreneurial skills you would be very interested in teaming up. We deal with the Precious Metals Industry. Since the dawn of time the human race has loved Gold and Silver and I think you would find our concept very intriguing. Let me ask you this, when was the last time you held Real Gold in your Hands? And where did you go to get it? You see my company is full filling the #1 dream in the world and that is to Revive Gold and Silver. Feel free to check out my Channel!

[W1k107]

I know this guy, having worked with him for a period - around 2005/6. Then, he was trading part time and working full time. I got to know him a bit and I believe that he is a genuine guy, with genuine intentions. This is what he is really saying: times are changing RAPIDLY - economically speaking - and ANYONE can learn to ADAPT, by looking towards different vistas 'for our daily bread'. Trading is a vehicle that ANYONE can learn to drive, to make money. He has been sorely misrepresented indeed.

[9GoSoFaR9]

@W1k107 what was his full time job?

[Eric205gen]

@W1k107 you are dead wrong. Trading and speculative finance is the cancer of this sick economy where everyone wants to make money from nothing! if governaments just keep on regulate it you can be sure we would have seen such a terrible crisis of 2008 and the one which is happening now in the Euro Zone..and you know who pays for that? workers and real economy..I'm so sick of this

[panathabro]

@W1k107 it seems to me like his playing a semi villain in order to educate and save the people....Allessio ftw!

[itowedin]

He's just another guy with an opinion. No better or worse than others, professional or not. The problem here is that your typical man in the street who sees this will assume this guy has some special qualifications that make his opinion more valid than Joe Blow's opinion, and that is not the case. On the other hand, most other commentators spew equally questionable opinions so this guy at least provides some balance to the conversation. But do not place your bets on any of their opinions!

[caketheory]

When markets go down it affects peoples lives like loss of jobs, home, misery etc. He's looking at it like a casino game.

[BJBGaming]

@caketheory He's looking at it as a trader. You can spread bet against the market. Every point shares drop, he makes money.

[northcliffehomes1]

Goldman Sacks told this fool he'd better fix the mess he just made, n now he's trying to take it all back!!! Ha ha ha ha

[DeepHauz13]

why do media assholes always imply that regular people are stupid and can't make money from shorting. and who the hell needs contacts. all you have to learn is technical analysis...fibonacci retracements...stochastics...M­ACD. it's not that hard. it gave a class on it to complete idiots at my previous job and they understood it.

[Sempertacsil]

@DeepHauz13 lol you mention those indicators as if it's the holy grail all in one package...however I do use those combined w/ others. In your other post, who/what you referring to when you mentioned "GSCO"?? goldman sachs & co. ?

[DeepHauz13]

@Sempertacsil they are not the holy grail. they are just some examples of tools people can utilize. and yes, i use them, combined with other indicators as well as fundamentals.

and yes, GSCO is Goldman's Level II marketmaker ID

[DeepHauz13]

i've been a trader for 9 years. every time i see the marketmaker id GSCO...i get out of the trade.in the money, out of the money, i don't care. get out. just get the fuck out. GSCO will fuck you...every time. it's a rule every trader knows.

[wolfflame9]

@DeepHauz13 Hi can you please explain better? Who is GSCO? what do they do? where do you check to see if GSCO is in ? Can you kindly explain. Thank you

[iRob420]

It's not capitalism. It's fascism. A corporate owned world. WorldCorp. World Co. And we're the slaves. The fact is the top 10% own 85% of the world. That was in a UN report. Money is a proximity phenomenon, the closer you are to it the easier it is to divert into your pockets, and your country club mate's pockets.

[BatmansArse]

He acts like a wanker, not a banker. Too animated to be telling the truth. Nobody talks that way.

[bobokk]

@BatmansArse He's a trader not a banker you dickhead. Independent traders answer to no one.

[WhiteXboxes]

Watch Thrive 2011.

It covers Alessio's key points.

Our system has a one-way flow of money.... it's quite scary.

There are a select few... who literally own the entire world, or the vast majority of it.

[supercoolboyniri]

it's not about capitalism is good or bad, it's just knowing it works or not in long-term.

[Gugguggug100]

I liked him more when he was a honest and straight forward, too much backpedaling and covering what he said before here.

[ThePaxton123]

what did he mean by people would vanish?

[benjiheads]

i trade to, f@cking right goldman rules the world govenments havent got a clue lolollololollo f@ckem all

[cherrypie11061]

He said millions of people will vanish wtf does he mean ???

[TheMotherEagle]

Free market capitalism is by all accounts the embodiment of deceptive greed and evil upon the planet. > 2 billion living in severe poverty, thats over 1 quarter of the planets population. The IMF and World bank used as a proxies to force transfer of sovereign state assets into private hands. Traders, Bankers, Investors clearly have no souls and there could never be a stronger reason to embrace true communism. Capitalism needs to go and the rich should be strung up.

[Gugguggug100]

@TheMotherEagle

Without Free Market Capitalism the entire world would be in severe poverty, just like we all used to be.

[TheMotherEagle]

@Gugguggug100 Absolute poppycock. Capitalism especially in its present form is simply evil and feeds the one of the worst human traits, greed.  The world is presently owned by an oligarchy; a people who cant understand what it means to have 'enough'. It is these people who need to be dealt with and dealt with they shall be. History has a way of repeating itself.. The corruption and decadence of the capitalist system must go.

[oxfordruse]

I'm astounded that so many people are commending this guy's honesty. If a murderer confesses his crime, do we condemn him any less because he was honest about it? I've never hated a human being more than I hate this pathetic, deluded creature. His entire life, and moral code, is defined by the terms "market", "assets", and "making money downwards".

[ImMichaelTaylor]

@oxfordruse If you'd stop picking on the mildly autistic accountant for a moment you might see that he's actually trying to help you.

Frankly I'm more fearful and horrified that people need to be told this in the first place than I am at he who tells them it. Any westerner who has bothered to find out how their society works already knows that this is an unavoidable consequence of how it is structured.

Stupid and counter-productive to blame some random guy who does maths in exchange for money.

[ImMichaelTaylor]

@oxfordruse "His entire life, and moral code, is defined by the terms"

How can you possibly know that?

All we know is that he's been trained in a particular field and performs that task to the best of his ability. That he does not dwell on the long term and indirect consequences of providing for his family (or whatever) is no worse than you and I ignoring the fact that the brutal subjugation of the 3rd world pays for some of our luxury.

[Brixer1]

Nothing new in this for people who have been in thew business for a while. Try Max Keiser, there you have the REAL truth

[drs7773ify]

Extra info: The put buyer either believes that the underlying asset's price will fall by the exercise date or hopes to protect a long position in it. The advantage of buying a put over short selling the asset is that the option owner's risk of loss is limited to the premium paid for it, whereas the asset short seller's risk of loss is unlimited (its price can rise greatly, in fact, in theory it can rise infinitely, and such a rise is the short seller's loss). Wikipedia.

[drs7773ify]

What this guy is talking about is buying "put" options - these increase in value as price goes down giving you the "option" to sell at the strike price (profit target). As against "call" options which increase in value as the market goes up.

So because all the markets go down at the same time - instead of buying put options on individual companies you buy put options on the whole market i.e S&P 500, Nasdaq or Dow Jones in the U.S or FTSE 100 in the UK.

[perezes83]

Alessio is telling the same as in his blog. For those who understand it there is a possibility of taking good profitable trades.

BTW. is The Mumbling Guy fan of Red Sox?:)

[ernstkibarra]

He continues to say the same stuff... make money, volatility, markets go down, recession, etc, but never HOW he actually "makes money"

[TehFlamingLipz]

@ernstkibarra Its a little difficult to do when your given less than five minutes to talk. Try reading his blog dumbass

[ernstkibarra]

@TehFlamingLipz wow, a rastani lover a go-go! u have pic of him in your bedroom?

[ernstkibarra]

@TehFlamingLipz og and btw, maybe ur the one not following, but all his interviews have been the same words over and over. i follow him on twitter "dumbass" hehe

[Song4Alex]

@ernstkibarra you follow him on twitter ? how the hell do you do that ?

[Song4Alex]

@ernstkibarra I know right ? ahahah magicians don't give out their ssecrets i suppose

[ernstkibarra]

@Song4Alex ja yes i guess that is really the answer.

[muyy1]

@ernstkibarra just put ,hedge, and short selling when the market give you a sign~. the point from his view is not to teach u how to make money, hes telling the truth and remind people, i think thats enough.
