More quotes by George Soros

George Soros
Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.
George Soros
The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe.
George Soros
I call government that works the best for people open society, which is basically just another more general term for a democracy that is - you call it maybe a liberal democracy.

George Soros
When you sell options, you get paid for assuming risk. That can be a profitable business, but it does not mix well with the risks inherent in a leveraged portfolio.
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
The pro-Israel lobby has been remarkably successful in suppressing criticism. Politicians challenge it at their peril because of the lobby's ability to influence political contributions.
