I dont care if you’re worth 30 billion. Losing a billion hurts.

If you’re worth 3 million, losing approximately 100 thousand in a month would hurt!

I wonder if there was a hissing sound as his ego was deflated a bit.

That’s what happens when you do everything you can to fix the horse race and then find out that you bet on an old nag.

Soros probably shorted the market as soon as he heard that Trump won the election. It could not have happened to a more deserving person.

I think this is what police refer to as motive.

Soros has been acting ‘out of character’ lately. Normally he has others do his dirty work, say the things he wants said. Lately he, himself, has been speaking out. I don’t know that losing $1B could cause that so much change, so much as all the $$$ he put into President Hillary Clinton turning to you-know-what.

lol

I’m not sure but I think he sunk a few bucks into Ukraine expecting the West to send tons of money and troops to Ukraine after the coup and Crimea incident.

Wrong again.

I would hazard a guess he has a stockpile of military industrial company stocks.

He was up 5% for the year.
