George Soros must be listened to since he’s been so successful…but boy, if there was ever a chronically unhappy personality, it must be his. Frankly, the people I enjoy the most are those who are not chronically down on the markets or pollyannas, but realists who smile and occassionally joke.
And I especially enjoy those who come to an epiphany, and tell us their view of the future has changed and here’s why…sort of the anti-Abby Joseph Cohen…
Soros looks like the father, who when you’ve done your best to please him says, “Never mind, I’ll do it myself….”
You get my drift…

Soros has a lot of interesting things to say, especially about the difficulty of draining money from the system again without fueling inflation, and about the future for interest rates. Stagflation, baby.
No doubt about it, a chat with Marc Faber or Nouriel Roubini is more fun, though.

lb,
w/ this: “..especially about the difficulty of draining money from the system again without fueling inflation..”
as well he should. I’ve yet to see/hear Anyone be able to, sensibly, describe how ‘theFed’ is going to put that Genie back in the bottle..
I’d love to hear the Explaination, to date, that it Can be done, is accepted, seemingly, prima facie..

BR,
as an aside, you’ve done wonders for TFD’s SER..

some of his comments on the first video are really interesting. I just read an interview with him about two weeks ago where he said that if the G-20 failed then we would surely see a depression. In this video he seems to have ruled that out. I must have overlooked it but what exactly was it that came out of the G-20 that was such a big win?
best of the three was the siren going off during the question about the fed being able to suck all of the liquidity back in.
I pretty much agree with the general outlook.

I just read a few articles one today and another yesterday on soros speaking of bad banks,

“The banking system, as a whole, is basically insolvent,” Soros said.
I just wonder why this blog will not let me see what people think about the fact that Soros is a Convicted Criminal and why this is never discussed since his conviction dealt with similar issues?
