Soros, the Man Who Cries Wolf, Now Is Warning of a 'Superbubble'

By GREG IP

June 21, 2008; Page B1

He has cried wolf many times, but this time George Soros says the beast is really upon us.

Mr. Soros, the chairman of Soros Fund Management, is best-known as a speculator, philanthropist and political activist. He made a fortune by doing things such as betting against Britain's currency in 1992 and Thailand's in 1997.

A Hungarian refugee, he has spent millions to promote democracy and learning in post-Soviet nations. He also has spent heavily to promote liberal causes and has been an ardent critic of President Bush.

Hmm... I suspect nothing is more important to him than how and when the crash occurs, if he want to advance his political agenda. That is, winning the presidential election.

I suppose the best case for him is a sudden catastrophic crash. If it turns out to be a progressively worsening stagnation, gathering momentum at a more gradual pace at least initially, it may not turn out to be a great disappointment for him.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Ping!

[OpusatFR]

If he and the other bright boys have manipulated the markets to get Obambi elected, they forgot the maxim that creating chaos breeds chaos. Once unleashed, it cannot be brought under control.

[DieHard the Hunter]

If Soros is warning about something, you can be dam’n sure he stands to make money out of it.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Correction:

it may not turn out to be a great disappointment for him.

[johna61]

Soros controls both Osamabama and Juan McLame.

[popdonnelly]

Is there anything in Soros’ personal history that indicates he is trustworthy?

[Popman]

Mr. Soros, the chairman of Soros Fund Management, is best-known as a speculator,......

Wait, just a minute. He's a evil, greedy, nasty, mean speculator ???

Aren't they the new poster child of all that's wrong with the world and the cause of artificially high fuel prices instead of skyrocketing demand and denied supply

Just where is the Moonbat rage ???

[SPRINK]

I know he’s smart but he sure didn’t come across that way in the interview

[gusopol3]

why do even critical introductions fail to tag him as a “convicted felon,” which he is ?

[poindexter]

“Is there anything in Soros’ personal history that indicates he is trustworthy?”

Well, he posed no threat to the Nazis.

[CharlotteVRWC]

Rush Limbaugh thinks Soros is going to win big by trying to short the market.

[CharlotteVRWC]

should have said “wants to win big”

[Ben Hecks]

Is there anything in Soros’ personal history that indicates he is trustworthy?

Since Soros is technically a convicted felon, I tend to question his involvement in financing political campaigns.

[Dick Bachert]

As you'll note, Georgy boy is now financing potential blockbuster flicks:

“Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.”

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Soros’ father changed their family name from Schwarts to Soros.

They were a bunch of chicken shi’ites.

I wonder how many went to the ovens because of George.

I wonder how many died before they were gassed because of George.

He is one of the most evil people in all of history.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Scharts = Schwartz

Sorry.

[garyhope]

Soros is an evil, leftist, anti American, commie rat bast**d.

[hiredhand]

Ping!...cripes....and we were JUST talking about...!

[RayChuang88]

What worries me about Soros is that he’s well-known to some of the richest people on Earth, especially Warren Buffett and many hedge fund managers on Wall Street. In short, Soros has the influence to cause a large number of hedge funds to deliberately skew any commodities or equities market for nefarious reasons.

[Racer1]

I doesn't hurt when he has enough money to manipulate the market to make his predictions come to pass. Don't be naive to think that there isn't a lot of this going on. He's not the only one. I've seen some of the big players in the stock market lately doing this and the government looks the other way. IMO

[TigerLikesRooster]

Yes, he is only one of the biggest. Many try to manipulate the market on the varying degree of scale.

[Vision]

Mr. Soros, the chairman of Soros Fund Management, is best-known as a speculator, philanthropist and political activist.

BARF! How about felon, drug pusher, and raider.

[DoughtyOne]

Soros can’t lose this election. Very sad...

[alloysteel]

If anyone in the world could recognize a supercrash, it would be George Soros. He has certainly engineered some rather more modest ones throughout the world in a number of different countries.

Is there any way to revoke his citizenship?

I thought not. WAY too embedded with the traitorous party in this country, as he is their main source of funding, and a good deal of their talking points.

[wingsof liberty]

I am afraid your right. Even if McCain wins, we still loose, just not as badly.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hopefully there is a superbubble in the making.And hopefully nobody's hurt by it except multi millionaire Marxists like Soros.And let's hope that those multi-millionaires are *wiped out*.

[SunkenCiv]

A Hungarian refugee, he has spent millions to promote democracy and learning in post-Soviet nations. He also has spent heavily to promote liberal causes...

Uh, nope, promoting democracy and learning is the polar opposite of promoting liberal causes.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Like Hunt brothers whose fortunes were wiped out by failed Silver speculation?

[Ann Archy]

God will get him...eventually for the evil and vile things he has done. He is one of the most DANGEROUS people on earth that isn’t in a government.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!

[RegulatorCountry]

The Hunt brothers were wiped out by regulatory change, deliberately enacted to shut them down. Most people, myself included until recently, believed that increased margin requirements accomplished this goal, but this apparently had the perverse effect of causing silver to spike further for a short time. Being required to actually take delivery is what finally proved to be the undoing of the Hunt brothers, if I’m not mistaken.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Thanx for clarifying some details.

[Dick Bachert]

Lancey, Totally off topic but based on your About page, thought you might enjoy this graphic (in case you haven't yet seen the 2,000 or so I've posted to Obamessiah threads).

“Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.”

And "The Cincinatti Kid" is a GREAT flick as well.

[Lancey Howard]

Thanks!

[snarks_when_bored]

...going overboard in generating change is not necessarily a good thing.

From George Soros' big mouth to Barack Hussein Obama's big ears? One can only hope.

Superbubble we can deal with. We might have a problem with a motherbubble.

[NormsRevenge]

What the heck is he smoking anyway?

The GoP leadership should get some...
and open up their own shop.

[combat_boots]

Oh, yes, Georgie. You forgot that part about deinvesting from the dollar and closing down your, er, excuse me, moveon.org’s 527 so you can just give Obeymao the euros, er, kruggerands, directly. Whattsamatta? Paying a bit too much for your carbon credits?

[combat_boots]

“I wonder how many went to the ovens because of George.”

George Soros: burning people, nations and culture for over 50 years. Coming to a country near you.

[montag813]

Isn’t Soros a Jew who ratted out other Jews in cooperation with the SS during WWII?

[TigerLikesRooster]

That is what I heard, too. However, I suspect that he would not stop him from crying anti-semitism if he would be backed into a corner someday.

[TigerLikesRooster]

[U S Army EOD]

Since the large part of the world economy is based on debt to be paid by money that does not exist, he may just be right.
