That is a good one - totally consistent with his extremely limited intellect. Where is the cite for the statement?

I wasn't too surprised to see among the chronic members of the NORML Advisory Council,
Ron Dellums, a Communist-Democrat.

George is still bitter from his little dance with the internet bubble. He waited 3 years and then went long in early 2000, lost several billion in 60 days and if I recall correctly fired the top man and closed the fund. That's my recollection too. Fired the honcho and closed the fund is right. Prolly bought a lot of Yahoo and Amazon at 200$
Kind of lost his magic touch without his sleazy palm greasing inside info.
He and fund managers had the inside track to all kinds of dot bomb crud and lost big
Thanks for playing George, now shut up and go hug a communist.
Let's give him credit. He's greedy bast**d who was smart enough to make no money draining pledges to the UN. Unlike --->>>

Soros is a brilliant man, however as he has become wealthy he admits to being a classic "limousine liberal." As a philantopist, he is opposed to any nationalist sentiments yet also sees the UN as useless. He discounts certain facts about the US role in maintaining world order. We have reluctantly become the world's police. IMHO the Bush doctrine is just more aggressive crime fighting. He also discounts the fact that We have permitted other nations to become nuclear powers without military intervention. From the first paragraph he uses the word "disconect" to allude to his reflexive theory of the markets and pushes his argument ad absurdum to make it fit.
The real sin of omission is that he fails to support the true Open Society.

hates the idea of competition because he made his fortune through inside deal-cuttingIt would seem that he would feel right at home on Wall Street where the most corrupt criminals in the world find a home.

Perhaps currency is not the best way to apply the observation. Take two stocks that tend to imitate each other graphically, find the leader in the trend and use it to predict the other.

He's greedy bast**d who was smart enough to make no money draining pledges to the UN like Turner.Ted drops out of 90% of his pledges...his $1B pledge over 10 years to the UN was to be paid out of appreciation of his AOL stock. He made one payment, unless they spin off AOL NOW before the indictments come he'll get out of his UN pledge too.
Soros has philanthropy in 50 countries. It was a fascinating attempt to bring capitalism in poor communist countries. However, he's taken a hard left turn in the last few years and bashes Bush vs. Terrorism and anything pro American. Soros Foundation

He did some good. A few years ago I met a Lithuanian who went to a Soros capitalism school in Hungary

Soros's apparent memory of the peaceful twin Shangri-La's of "Palestine" and Afghanistan before Bush is laughable. When, in all of modern history has there been peace in these troubled lands? Bush wasn't even born when the trouble began. The Middle East will have the best shot it's ever had at real peace, thanks to the guts of our President. A bumpy ride with the EU was inevitable from the beginning. How could it be otherwise?
To: DoughtyOne
That was a very well written counterpoint. I enjoyed it.
To: Fractal Trader
.....(Soros) once made billions on betting that the pound would fall, but has he really done much since then? Is his analysis valid? Or is he a press whore whose reputation is built on luck, past successes, and faded glory? Hmmmm. Lessee. Tough choice. OK. I'll go with "Soros is a press whore
whose reputation is built on luck, past successes, and faded glory." (/sarcasm off)
