Being asked “what would keep investors happy, make them feel more confident?”, independent trader Alessio Rastani answers:

“Personally, it doesn’t matter. See, I’m a trader. I don’t really care about that kind of stuff. If I see an opportunity to make money, I go with that. So, for most traders, we don’t really care that much about how they’re going to fix the economy, about how they’re going to fix the whole situation; our job is to make money from it. And, personally, I’ve been dreaming of this moment for three years. I have a confession which is I go to bed every night and dream of another recession, I dream of another moment like this.”

Another money quote:

“The governments don’t rule the world. Goldman Sachs rules the world.”
