This SOB should be behind bars. I don’t give a rip what his positions are today, what were they 14 months ago?

Picking the pockets of illegals. Do any of you know what the Wal-mart charges to send money to Mexico

Those are not exactly rocket scientist bets, in my book.

Mr Soros significantly increased his positions in AT&T and Verizon Communications by 3.4 million shares and roughly 4m shares, respectively.

T is exactly the same price it was 3-4 months ago, but it *does* pay a 6.2% dividend.

VZ is actually lower than it was 3-4 months ago, and it pays 6.3%. Good dividend plays, glunky companies.

BAC is exactly the same price it was 3 months ago and pays a whopping .3% dividend.

JPM is very slightly above where it was 3 months ago and pays .5%

He could be lowering his average cost on these financials. I myself don’t see where the big increases in these banks’ earnings are supposed to come from. Perhaps this is a bet on ever increasing government control. Why that is attractive to a greedy capitalist, I don’t understand.

>>I would bet far more readily that George Soros has placed bets 50 or 100 larger on a declining dollar.<< If so, he’s cleaning up on that one, like every other hedge fund on earth.

PBR is up 20% over its 3-4 months ago price so maybe he is taking those gains. IMO PBR is a great play on rising oil prices.

Ford? Buying it at $8 is OK, I guess, where was he when it was $1?

My thoughts as well. I wonder if he benefited from the trillions in bank bailouts.
