Our old Quantum Fund buddies are up to no good again, chiming in wherever the media outlets can pick them up. Recently, Jim Rogers was out saying that he thinks bonds will be a terrible investment for the next 10 or 20 years. Additionally, George Soros, in his Congressional testimony, said we are in a deep recession, and would not rule out the possibility of a depression.

George Soros, billionaire money manager, had his turn to join fellow hedge fund managers testifying before Congress. Soros made a point of scaring the hell out... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

In keeping up with all the various hedge fund managers and 'whales,' I would be remiss if I did not include Jim Rogers and George Soros, co-founders of the legendary Quantum Fund.

Siamo alle battute conclusive. O quasi. Tramontata, di fatto, l’ipotesi Follieri, all’orizzonte rimane Soros. La trattativa tra i legali dei Sensi e quelli del novantasettesimo uomo più ricco al mondo, sarebbe giunta ad un punto preciso. Il magnate nato in Ungheria verserebbe, nelle tasche dei proprietari di Italpetroli, 210 milioni di euro circa per acquistare il 67% delle azioni della A.S.

Fatta? Non fatta? La firma domani? O martedì? Sono giorni decisivi, ormai, su questo non ci sono più dubbi: si decide il destino della Roma. Resta alla famiglia Sensi, o finisce nelle mani del magnate ungherese-americano George Soros? Dopo tanti ripensamenti, la famiglia Sensi avrebbe accettato l'offerta di Soros: 283 milioni di euro (e tanti investimenti, a cominciare da uno stadio nuovo stile

Potrebbe essere il 26 maggio la data decisiva per la cessione della società capitolina al magnate americano George Soros. Secondo La Gazzetta dello Sport, tre giorni fa ci sarebbe stato l'incontro decisivo tra le parti: Gian Roberto De Giovanni, legale dei Sensi, avrebbe incontrato a Milano Steven Horowitz, rappresentante della Inner Circle Sports. Si sarebbe trovato l'accordo per cedere l'intero

Quale sarà il futuro della Roma? Ancora non è dato saperlo e, di certo, il finanziere George Soros, considerato nei giorni scorsi un probabile acquirente per il club giallorosso, non ha intenzione di entrare in merito alla questione.

Da quanto si legge sul Corriere dello Sport, i rumors che filtrano dagli ambienti finanziari parlano ormai di una trattativa arenatasi sull'orgoglio di George Soros di fronte ai continui tira e molla della famiglia Sensi. Ma intanto altre voci di corridoio parlano di una ritirata strategica del magnate americano. Unicredit si è tirata fuori dalla questione, dichiarandosi uno "spettatore

Secondo il Messaggero, le prossime ore saranno decisive per la trattativa sull'acquisto della Roma. Il finanziere statunitense aspetta segnali dai Sensi entro la giornata di martedi. Se dovesse riceverne di positivi sarebbe disposto ad uscire allo scoperto. Sempre secondo il quotidiano, la dirigenza subirebbe forti pressioni anche da parte di unicredit che starebbe spingendo per una cessione.

La settimana prossima, secondo Il Corriere dello Sport, sarà decisiva per quanto riguarda la vicenda Soros. Non perchè il magnate americano abbia dato un ultimatum, ma perchè il 30 aprile è la data entro la quale la Italpetroli, e quindi la famiglia Sensi, deve presentare a Unicredit il piano di restrutturazione che prevede il rientro di 327 milioni di euro (su 372).

April 7, 2008 Soros bearish on US' economic clout WASHINGTON - BILLIONAIRE George Soros said the United States' status as the world's economic superpower is no longer guaranteed, as the current financial crisis saps America's ability to compete with prospering China and India. Sub-prime mortgage defaults and the resulting credit convulsions have accelerated the US' weakening position in global markets, he said in an interview on Conversations With Judy Woodruff, airing on Bloomberg Television over the weekend. 'I think that you will have to somehow reconstruct the global architecture,' said Mr Soros, 77. 'China has become much more important, India, and so on. What kind of system will evolve of this, I think, is a very open question.' The market disruptions prompted him last year to resume

Billionaire George Soros called the current financial crisis the worst since the Great Depression and said markets will fall more this year after a brief rebound.``We had a good bottom,'' Soros said yesterday in an interview in New York, referring to the rally in stocks and the dollar after JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to buy Bear Stearns Cos. on March 17. ``This will probably not prove to be the final bottom,'' he said, adding the rebound may last six weeks to three months as the U.S. moves closer to a recession.Soros has bet on declines in the dollar, 10-year Treasuries and U.S. and European stocks. He expected foreign currencies to rise, as well as Chinese and Indian equities. The latter bet helped Quantum return 32 percent in 2007. Quantum's returns this year have ranged from up 3 p

From Billionaires Blog By Brendan MontagueA study that claimed 650,000 people were killed as a result of the invasion of Iraq was partly funded by the antiwar billionaire George Soros. Soros, 77, provided almost half the nearly $100,000 cost of the research, which appeared in The Lancet, the medical journal. Its claim was 10 times higher than consensus estimates of the number of war dead.The study, published in 2006, was hailed by antiwar campaigners as evidence of the scale of the disaster caused by the invasion, but Downing Street and President George Bush challenged its methodology.New research published by The New England Journal of Medicine estimates that 151,000 people - less than a quarter of The Lancet estimate - have died since the invasion in 2003.“The authors should have discl

The MIT Department of Economics World Economy Laboratory Conference Washington, D.C. Delivered April 26, 1994 When Rudi Dornbusch invited me to speak at this conference, he gave me a totally free hand in deciding what I wanted to talk about. Well, I want to discuss a subject which fascinates me but doesn’t seem to interest others very much. That is my theory of reflexivity which has guided me both in making money and in giving money away, but has received very little serious consideration from anybody else. It is really a very curious situation. I am taken very seriously; indeed, a bit too seriously. But the theory that I take seriously and, in fact, rely on in my decision-making process is pretty completely ignored. I have written a book about it which was first published in 1987 under the title The Alchemy of Finance; but it received practically no critical examination. It has been out of print for the last several years but demand has been building up as a result of my increased v

Three of the biggest names in the investing business all have one incredible industry in common. They all have stakes in major oil and gas plays. Argue global warming, environmental protection, and any other claim of criticism, but there is absolutely no doubt that these stocks are headed higher. Just take a look at each of their portfolios. Among a highly developed and diverse portfolio, Warren Buffett holds companies like Burlington Northern (BNI), Washington Post (WPO), and Coca-Cola (KO). Outside of these foundation stocks is a company that Buffett had to begin disclosing a couple of years of ago, ConocoPhillips (COP). As of the latest portfolio update on Stockpickr.com, Buffett had about 2.1 percent of portfolio vested in the oil and gas industry through COP. It’s clear to see why Buffett has chosen ConocoPhillips, because the company is by far one of the best values in the sector at around 8x price-to-earnings, and has an impressive 2.16 percent dividend yield. The highly a

Axis of Soros - The men and motives behind the World Bank coup attempt. - Wall Street JournalExcerpt:"Mr. Malloch Brown, remember, was until last year Kofi Annan's deputy at the United Nations. In that position, he distinguished himself by spinning away the $100 billion Oil for Food scandal as little more than a blip in the U.N.'s good work, and one that had little to do with Mr. Annan himself. Last week, Mr. Malloch Brown was named vice president of the Quantum Fund, the hedge fund run by his billionaire friend George Soros. A former World Bank official himself and ally of soon-to-be British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Mr. Malloch Brown would almost surely be a leading candidate to replace Mr. Wolfowitz should he step down. Not surprisingly, Gordon Brown cold-shouldered Mr. Wolfowitz at a recent meeting in Brussels.The bank presidency would be a neat coup for Sir Mark, and not just because the post has heretofore gone to an American.

George Soros blamed yen carry trades as one very important factor in the current turbulence in global financial markets. As the YEN is basically interest-free, a lot of money is coming from borrowing and lots of Japanese money are going abroad. As the YEN weakened, a lot of people got into yen carry trades, thus causing a shake-out in financial markets. Soros also attributed the turbulence partly to a slowdown in the US economy and the housing situation. A slowdown will lead the US economy to more balanced growth while faster growth elsewhere will help correct the US trade deficit but that will lead to less liquidity in the market, Soros said in an interview with the Financial Times.Soros predicted that the Chinese govt will try to prevent a collapse of mainland bourses in the run up to th

Obama Meets Party Donors in New York Senator Barack Obama treaded onto Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s home turf last night to meet with prominent Democratic donors and feel out those who might prefer the sound of President Obama to President Clinton (as in Hillary, not Bill). Amid intensifying presidential musings by Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama met with George Soros, the liberal billionaire philanthropist, and then some other donors last night at Mr. Soros’s offices. One of the donors who met with Mr. Obama, and who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not want to offend Mrs. Clinton, said that he and several others had supported Mrs. Clinton’s Senate campaigns but were not committed to her as a presidential candidate. “I like Hillary a lot, but I’m also impressed with Obama — his message, the way he connects to people,” said the donor, a prominent New York business person. “It’s a little too early for Demo
