More quotes by George Soros
I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes
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
I'm only rich because I know when I'm wrong...I basically have survived by recognizing my mistakes.
George Soros
Of course, speculation will always make a crisis worse. If there is a weak point, it will expose it.
George Soros
Outperforming the market with low volatility on a consistent basis is an impossibility. I outperformed the market for 30-odd years, but not with low volatility.
George Soros
Once a trend is established it tends to persist and to run it’s full course.
George Soros

George Soros
Every bubble has two components: something - some real trend, and a misconception about that trend.
George Soros

George Soros

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
I have made it a principle to give advice that does not serve my personal interest but rather the common interests.
George Soros
Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually.
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
Proposition 19 already is a winner no matter what happens on election day. The mere fact of its being on the ballot has elevated and legitimized public discourse about marijuana and marijuana policy in ways I could not have imagined a year ago.
George Soros
The worse a situation becomes the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside.
George Soros
I rely a great deal on animal instincts.
George Soros
The scope for improvement is infinite, precisely because perfection is unattainable.
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
