More quotes by George Soros

George Soros
If investing is entertaining, if you're having fun, you're probably not making any money. Good investing is boring.
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.

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
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros

George Soros
The ultimate asset bubble is gold.
George Soros
Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros
Markets are imperfect. So you do need regulation, knowing that the regulators are also human.
George Soros

George Soros
Advocating democracy has, by other people, often been taken as a form of imperialism, and not without some justification. So the important thing in a democracy is that it doesn't necessarily have to agree with what America's interests are, and it doesn't necessarily have to be serving American interests.
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
President George W. Bush is endangering the United States and the world's safety while undermining American values.
George Soros
The only thing that could hurt me is if my success encouraged me to return to my childhood fantasies of omnipotence - but that is not likely to happen as long as I remain engaged in the financial markets, because they constantly remind me of my limitations.
George Soros
