More quotes by George Soros
The trouble with institutional investors is that their performance is usually measured relative to their peer group and not by an absolute yardstick. This makes them trend followers by definition.
George Soros
Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros
You could adjust the punishment to fit the infraction. Even a small fine would be enough to bring an errant government to heel.
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
Find the trend whose premise is false, and bet against it.
George Soros
Changeless society is characterized by the absense of alternatives.
George Soros
If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin. But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.
George Soros
I'm not better than the next trader, just quicker at admitting my mistakes and moving on to the next opportunity.
George Soros
The lower interest rates fueled housing and consumption booms in countries such as Spain and Ireland. At the same time, Germany, struggling with the burdens of reunification, tightened its belt and became more competitive. All this led to a wide divergence in economic performance. Europe became divided into creditor and debtor countries.
George Soros
Once a trend is established it tends to persist and to run it’s full course.
George Soros
China could easily emerge as the great winner if the Chinese leaders handle the situation well. On the other hand, they could also turn out to be the biggest losers if they handle it poorly. If the management turns out be wrong, this could lead to a political crisis in China.
George Soros
The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe.
George Soros
As a society we can't live without moral considerations. We do have to protect the public good. And markets are not designed to do that, so we need a political process.
George Soros
Whenever there is a conflict between universal principles and self-interest, self-interest is likely to prevail.
George Soros
Well, you know, I was a human being before I became a businessman.
George Soros
I'm only rich because I know when I'm wrong.
George Soros
There is always a divergence between our perception and what actually exists.
George Soros
I think that my foundation uses the money better than the government does. In any event, I do pay taxes.
George Soros
As I discovered, there is a great deal of similarity between a boom-bust process in the financial markets and the rise and fall of the Soviet system.
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
