Re: Soros (4.00 / 4)
How much would Soros have lost if he'd failed?

More specifically - are the risk/rewards of this kind of speculation symmetric?

Re: Soros (none / 0)
Are you kidding?  Soros is To Big To Fail(TM).  Think of all those widows and orphans, dependent on retirement funds managed by Soros & Co.  We'd have bailed him out like we did Goldman.

Now where are we going and what's with the handbasket?

He was relatively unknown in 1992.
