soros
this started out as a post about an article on american supremacy by george soros. i'd read things about mr.soros before but not anything by him. on reading the article, which struck me as very perceptive, i tried to look up on more info about him. he's written seven books, has, at one time, earned a billion dollars in one night (he risked ten BILLION that the british pound will fall, it did), but faced huge losses in russia in 98, then again when he bet too early that the internet bubble will bust. he's now apparently much more conservative in his approach.
another investor who inspires like awe is the much revered warren buffet, the oracle of omaha, in who's company if u'd invested $10,000 in 1965, u would expect returns of $50million today. phew! posted by ubaid - Tuesday, March 18, 2003 at 4:15 PM - 0 comments - post anonymously
