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

By GREG IP

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.

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.

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*.

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.

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.

Thanx for clarifying some details.

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.
