More quotes by George Soros
Increase your bets when you are confident and scale down your positions when you don't have conviction.
George Soros
Studying economics is not a good preparation for dealing with it.
George Soros
I am not well qualified to criticize the theory of rational expectations and the efficient market hypothesis because as a market participant I considered them so unrealistic that I never bothered to study them.
George Soros
To be successful, you need leisure. You need time hanging heavily on your hands.
George Soros
Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros
America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany. We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process.
George Soros
Making an investment decision is like formulating a scientific hypothesis and submitting it to a practical test. The main difference is that the hypothesis that underlies an investment decision is intended to make money and not to establish a universally valid generalization.
George Soros
Find the trend whose premise is false, and bet against it.
George Soros
If the bubbles contain a misconception, as they always do, then it can't be maintained forever.
George Soros
Markets are designed to allow individuals to look after their private needs and to pursue profit. It's really a great invention, and I wouldn't underestimate the value of that. But they're not designed to take care of social needs.
George Soros
The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.
George Soros
If investing is entertaining, if you're having fun, you're probably not making any money. Good investing is boring.
George Soros
Markets are imperfect. So you do need regulation, knowing that the regulators are also human.
George Soros
Just as the process of repealing national alcohol prohibition began with individual states repealing their own prohibition laws, so individual states must now take the initiative with respect to repealing marijuana prohibition laws.
George Soros
An open society calls itself open to improvement. It is based on the recognition that people have divergent views and interests, and that nobody is in possession of the ultimate truth.
George Soros
These public-private partnerships are very, very dangerous. The most rotten part of the financial system in the US consisted of the government sponsored entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They really kicked off this crisis. The state should set the rules and enforce them - but not become involved as a market player.
George Soros
The criminalization of marijuana did not prevent marijuana from becoming the most widely used illegal substance in the United States and many other countries. But it did result in extensive costs and negative consequences.
George Soros
Well, you know, I was a human being before I became a businessman.
George Soros
The worse a situation becomes the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside.
George Soros
I have made it a principle to give advice that does not serve my personal interest but rather the common interests.
George Soros
