That fan is starting to get very shítty

    In a scary and painfully frank interview a freaked out BBC interviewer is visibly shaken when market trader Alessio Rastani predicts that the "Market is Toast." Apparently there is nothing Euro governments can do.
    People are starting to tell it what it's like rather than hiding the truth.

    Don't worry folks, in a few months time electricity prices will be so inflated none of us will be able to afford the power to run the Fan.

    Isn't it stomach turning that democratic governments bailed out abject arseholes like that trader when they bailed out Lehmans and all the rest of these parasites?

    I want these people to lose, and we all should be told about them when that happens.

    So, someone who dreams of making money out of a recession is scaring folk into taking money from the banks and hiding it under their floorboards?

    What he's saying could be true for all I know, but why would I believe him when he clearly has an agenda?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Good. The Euro should not have been created.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Someone that has been dreaming of a crash, knows how to make money from a crash, is openly fearmongering, effectively feeding a crash. This guy said that deliberately so as to force fear into the market so that he can profit from it.

    Yet another selfish trader imo.

    Real villains are the goons who refuse to work but depend on the State and John Q Taxpayer for everything.

    Report on radio today that 3 in four lone parent claims were bogus.

    We should expose these leeches and be told about them and what happens.

    Root out these gimps and get them to work like everybody else.

    He has an agenda all right, but he's only saying what many have thought (or hoped for) for a long time. But what if he's right!

    Yeah hundreds of billions handed to private traders by incompetent governments but the real problem is bogus lone parent claims. :rolleyes:

    Nice job inflating the statistic from one in four to three in four.

    http://www.independent.ie/national-news/1in4-lone-parent-claims-are-bogus-2886884.html

    The social welfare bill is negligible compared to the debt which we took upon ourselves with the banking guarantee. Doesn't make fraud any less fraud, but come on - pick the pertinent target.

    Nothing incompetent about the bank bail-out fraud. That was a very professional looking job in my eyes.

    People can forget about a return to the punt. Unless some kind of giant leprechaun gives us his enormous gold stash. We've nothing to base a currency on that will have value in the world.

    Why ask ? Why not read my post, does it say "this is not a problem" ? Doesnt ? Theres your answer.

    Let me ask you one.

    Are you saying bogus lone parent claims are a bigger problem than the hundreds of billions we are now in debt as a result of bailing out private banks to ensure the profits of private traders ? Bogus welfare claims have always been a problem but they are not the cause of the shít we are in now so constantly pointing the finger in that direction is no different than saying littering is a problem it need to be sorted.

    Welfare fraud has nothing to do with the possible collapse of the Eurozone. Plenty of "lets whinge about people on welfare" threads around. Go find one.

    when I saw this thread, I reckoned it had to be by Jonjo the miser, but I was wrong, there's more than one scaremongering sky's a falling doom monger out there it seems. Euro gone, me hole. They can press a few buttons, issue trillions to each countrys central bank, and wipe out national debts at a stroke, if it suits them. If it gets really sh1tty, it will suddenly suit them. Wait and see. ("Them" being the ECB and the Eurocnutbags in Brussels.) If I'm wrong, I'll eat your shorts, ("your"- being Angelina Jolie.)

    No I am not.

    Are you condoning the fact that one in four( sorry got the orig facts skewed) lone parent claim is bogus.?

    Who took the advice of these traders....our own people

    Who took money easy from the banks to fund investments....our own people.


    Who the fcuk thought this gravy train could never end....our own people.

    Who threw caution to the winds and live in a state of euphoria for 4 years.... our own people.

    So gtfo if you think traders were totally to blame my friend.:mad:

    Some (all of it) of this post is full of cr@p.

    Its hardly as easy as pressing a button.

    A whole lot of something cannot be made out of nothing

    I'm not condoning anything. But this isnt a threat about welfare, its a thread about European finances. There are many problems with welfare in this country. Problems that have been problems for many years. Anyway back to the topic at hand.

    Who took the advice of these traders....our own people



    Who took money easy from the banks to fund investments....our own people.

    Who the fcuk thought this gravy train could never end....our own people.

    Who threw caution to the winds and live in a state of euphoria for 4 years.... our own people.

    So gtfo if you think traders were totally to blame my friend.:mad:

    This "our own people" you keep mentioning wasnt 99% of Irish people. It was a small percentage of wealthy people looking to get wealthier. The majority of "our own people" never owed any more than their house was worth. The people who caused this mess is not "our own people" its the minority of wealthy individuals who still remain extremely wealthy. So perhaps your anger is better directed at them than looking for easy targets likes people on welfare.

    I think what your describing is the recipe for hyper inflation my friend. Robert Mugabe pressed that button a couple of times and now it costs $28,000,000 for a loaf of bread.

    Can someone please explain to me, (laymans terms) if the euro goes belly up, markets go to pot like this dude predicts, what happens to joe soap's (mine and your's) debts?

    Like, if doomsday in the financial markets its inevitable, why should we bother repaying our credit cards/personal loans etc?
