Soros is a highly successful investor, albeit one with a self-confessed messianic complex.
He didn’t short the pound this time around, but put in a significant short on Deutsche Bank. Is he functioning as a political manipulator here, saying what he thinks, or hoping to simply ride the market in a different direction for a twofer?
Who knows?
Correct. He didn’t short the pound. He went long and lost millions.
I’m certain that he never expected this.
