Art Cashin, director of floor operations at the New York Stock Exchange for UBS, whose career in the industry spanned more than six decades, has died at the age of 83.

Perhaps Cashin’s most famous quip dates back to the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, when he remarked during an interview with CNBC that it appeared traders were betting on the end of the world.

That’s rarely a smart idea, he observed at the time. After all, the end of the world is an exceedingly rare event — it can only happen once.

“You never bet on the end of the world, ’cause that only happens once and something that happens once in infinity is a long shot,” he said during an interview with CNBC’s Bob Pisani in October 2009.
