Soros shorted the US dollar and lost a big wad of money. He also went long on oil, back when it was going down in price. Where he stands right now, I don't know.

Now that he is an American citizen, after being a British citizen, after being a Polish citizen, after trading crime life in France, after driving down his adopted country Britain into the ground...his position now is shorting his present country, the United States.
