More quotes by George Soros
I am not a Zionist, nor am I am a practicing Jew, but I have a great deal of sympathy for my fellow Jews and a deep concern for the survival of Israel.
George Soros
As an anonymous participant in financial markets, I never had to weigh the social consequences of my actions ... I felt justified in ignoring them on the grounds that I was playing by the rules.
George Soros
We [at Soros Fund Management] use options and more exotic derivatives sparingly. We try to catch new trends early and in later stages we try to catch trend reversals. Therefore, we tend to stabilize rather than destabilize the market. We are not doing this as a public service. It is our style of making money.
George Soros
Increase your bets when you are confident and scale down your positions when you don't have conviction.
George Soros
When it comes to social consequences, they've got all different people acting in different ways, very difficult to even have a proper criterion of success. So, it's a difficult task.
George Soros
If every rich person gave 50 percent of their wealth to charity, I would not say they should pay more taxes.
George Soros
Everything adds up to a major crisis. Humanity is faced with a global energy crisis ... The core of the crisis lies in the increasing shortage of oil.
George Soros
My sense of insecurity keeps me alert, always ready to correct my errors.
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
My approach works not by making valid predictions but by allowing me to correct false ones.
George Soros
If we carry this line of argument to its logical conclusion, the meaning of life consists of the flaws in one's conceptions and what one does about them. Life can be seen as a fertile fallacy.
George Soros
Political debate is more interested in manipulating the truth, than finding the truth.
George Soros
The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. [This idea] happens to coincide with the prevailing opinion in the world. And I think that's rather shocking for Americans to hear.
George Soros
It is better to have a cat and mouse game where the cat has the upper hand than a cat and mouse game where the mice are ruling. Because the latter means that the market participants are given free range. That was actually the big misconception of our national hero Ronald Reagan, who always talked about the magic of the market.
George Soros
The main difference between me and other people who have amassed this kind of money is that I am primarily interested in ideas, and I don't have much personal use for money.
George Soros
Merkel has realized that the euro is not working, but she cannot change the narrative she has created because that narrative has caught the imagination of the German public, and the German public has accepted it.
George Soros
Find the trend whose premise is false, and bet against it.
George Soros
I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes
George Soros
I contend that financial markets never reflect the underlying reality accurately they always distort it in some way or another and the distortions find expression in market prices. Those distortions can, occasionally, find ways to affect the fundamentals that market prices are supposed to reflect.
George Soros
I think there's a lot of merit in an international economy and global markets, but they're not sufficient because markets don't look after social needs.
George Soros
