When are you too old to stop screwing with the world and making people miserable?
To: FreeAtlanta
Since this was an increase of 154% Q/Q this has some people concerned that the author of 'reflexivity' and the founder of "open societies" may be anticipating some major market downside.This POS has made a living out of manipulating markets and making money off the resulting misery.
He should've been in prison stripes years ago.

The next paragraph is instructional:
“Then again... the put position rose to 11.1% of his notional holdings. By way of reference, as of June 30 2013 ...13.5%.”

Do you not just hate that guy. A real nonhero. All he is is his money and you can’t take it with you.

His old partner, Jim Rogers sure has been quiet lately. About a year ago he was predicting a major market crash.

I may have missed it: he bought, not sold puts, correct?

For Soros? Only when “He’s dead Jim!” And may that day come soon and extremely painful.

Assets Under Management as of December 31, 2013 rose to a record $11.8 billion .......The second one is that the "Soros put", a legacy hedge position that the 83-year old has been rolling over every quarter since 2010, just rose to a record $1.3 billionHe has puts totaling 11% of his AUM? And that means what? If it was 50%, what would that mean. Nothing.

Ah, Soros knows well that Zer0 has totally screwed the US economy, and he’s so proud of his Socialist puppet, that he’s decided to make book on it!

if he has put positions — buying is shorting and is just buying insurance. It just sound like his insurance is working because he can keep selling his puts higher because the markets that he is in are not. he’s a chicken shit. if he really is bearish he should be selling naked calls. ha ha

Quite the opposite. He was a NAZI colluder who sold his fellow Jews into the gas chambers while stealing their properties and profiting on their sale.
He is a noted atheist and for his sake, he better be right!

The second one is that the "Soros put"...has some people concerned that the author of 'reflexivity' and the founder of "open societies" may be anticipating some major market downside...in other words, if the market goes south, Soros still gets to sell stock shares which he's bought cheap for a much higher than market-value price - this is how he always makes his money - feasting off the ruins of some economy - and now we can understand why he supports leftists all the time - because they're guaranteed to ruin any economy they're put in charge of.......
To: Jim from C-Town
i did add the word poser. i think he gets press about being a “survivor” of the Nazi invasion of Hungary. Always sounds like he escaped the death camps or something.

All he is is his money and you cant take it with you.
I s*** you not, there is apparently a not-insignificant number of people like ole Georgie that set up trusts with the expectation that they will reincarnate into their family lineages and resume use of it...

Soros investment in Obama pays off. I have no doubt Soros knows the Federal Reserve will reduce or eliminate QE soon.
When Yellen cuts off QE, the Stock Market will fall hard and fast. Soros will make billions off the backs of Main Street who doesn’t have the inside knowledge he does.
I would like to see who on Wall Street is increasing their puts now.
