I am no expert, but a couple of thoughts come to mind quickly:

If the stock market drops, who wins??

Similarly, if Italian interest rates go up relative to US interest
rates, who wins?

It seems to me that both a falling stock market and rising interest
rates both eliminate wealth. Together they can eliminate a lot of
wealth.
