IMO Soros is manipulating the dollar/market to make a profit on it.

The Best thing O'Reilly did was to give advice to some Dem strategist: Kerry should hold a news conference and answer all the questions.

We can all laugh, but Soros made 750 million dollars in compensation for running his hedge fund.

Tony Snow said something that is common knowledge.

The man makes his billions cashing in on failing economies. He's the friend of failure.

Looks like buying Euro's in NOV 03 and buying dollars back in Feb 04 would of made about 3-4 cents on the dollar.

Both Warren Buffett and George Soros were implicated by Brit as being involved..

I saw that and looked up the above website for info..

yeah, it was great!

I think we should have a lot of 527 ads outting Kerry's puppeteer Soros.

Both Soros and Buffett are shorting the dollar, to the tune of billions.

Yep, that's true patriotism, betting on the economic collapse of the dollar and the U.S.

Oh, that's right, they're liberals. The economy needs to fail in order for them to get back in power.

What was I thinking? </sarcasm

What I would like to know is how much Soros made in the aftermath of 911. He defiantly has contact though his NGO's in the Balkans with groups that associate with Al Qaeda.

Nope, I don't have any sources. Sounds like Tony Snow does. I messed up and mentioned Brit in my 1st post.

I'm thinking money xfers are tracked by banks and the IRS.
It would seem the FBI / CIA should look into 9/11 profiteering.

BTW: Wasn't there alot of trading in United and American airlines before 9/11.

Even my broker says Soros is manipulating the market in an attempt to defeat Bush.

To be perfectly honest with you, I seem to remember a day during the Klintoon administration where the NYSE plummeted 500 points or so, but then a late rally brought it back up to almost even. I would love to be able to investigate MR Soros activities that day, I would bet he propped it up so Klintoon would not look bad.

We may not like him, but he is a fascinating personality apart from his wealth. He is both a tutored and untutored philosopher. He took extensive training at the London School of Economics and studied with Karl Popper.

Popper was the fellow said neither scientific socialism or scientific psychoanalysis were "scientific" because they did not generate disprovable hypotheses.

It would be a fascinating round table to get him, and Economics Nobel Laureate, Daniel Kahneman (a psychologist), and perhaps several others on a round table discussion about economic man, short and long term economic cycles and the basic psychology of investing.

I am sure he would find me, my views as somewhat akin to that of a philosophical Neanderthal but just to learn now before it is too late what these individuals think and how they arrive at would be well worth the effort.

A C-Span effort would be recorded and studied for years in discerning, multidisciplinary fashion.

If he's shorting the dollar, does he have enough margin to short enough of it to force the price down and start a general dumping by institutions and governments?

Of course, that would be market manipulation... and quite possibly an argument could be made for treason...

I have heard the same thing but so far, can find no proof to back it up. If you, or any of my fellow freepers can point me to a credible source, I would be most grateful.

Don't you think if someone found the source, they'd know enough to keep quiet about it, lest he be found dead some morning of a 'heart attack'?
