You're right. George Soros is not the man who artificially broke the Pound and wiped out 100s or billions of pounds in equity for individual British pensioners.

It could not really happen today. The viscosity is much lower and the computers are much smarter and quicker. Significant manipulation against fundamentals is a fine way to lose your shirt these days.

Sounds remarkably like what Custer said before setting out for Little Big Horn.

I sincerely hope you're right and I'm wrong. However, I don't think Soros gives a damn about "his shirt," or his investor's shirts, either. He has another agenda and making a profit is only a means to that eventual end, not the end itself. His aim is our destruction. It's really that simple.
