This is the real free market. You put up your money based on your judgment of what is happening, and you win or lose.

Soros made almost as much as when he talked the British pound down.

Self hater and amoralist Soros sure learned his lesson well when he helped his phony godfather seize the property of Hungarian Jews deported to Auschwitz (if he had any sense of morality he would've stayed home).

Go short and tank the American economy ... Soros, the slug, has made billions doing it! Don’t you realize that’s why he funds democrats? ... They are his tools to piss on the American economy and make him more wealthy, to fund the criminal enterprise some more!

Yeah but they also can and have manipulated markets to the detriment of the USA and to help Obama. Naked shorting, buying default credit swap[s at the same time and starting rumors can and DID easily destroy companies.

Schumer helped with Indy Mac and oddly then the govt sells it or pays Soros, J.S. Flowers, Paulson and Michael Dell to take it.

Soros, John Paulson and Flowers made a LOT more than the numbers listed destroying the financial markets to help Obama.

To hell it is!

It's just working toward the collapse of societies to make bucks. And it could be by force or fraud as with the British pound and the election of the Messiah.

As a longtime goldbug, of course I bought gold back in 2004, but that doesn't mean I want my country to collapse into Socialist impotence and/or tyranny.

The soul of George Soros is so black that it cannot be bought or sold, it can only be used, by Evil. It is amazing that he is still alive! But then he serves the purposes of the evil one.

The only way I can figure he’s still alive is with the help of Satan.

Just look at how bad he looks!

Yeah, if you have to sell your soul to the devil to heap up the riches here on earth, I guess I’ll have to pass....

Some people have enough capital invested that they can actually manipulate the markets. Just throw enough weight and pull enough strings...

I have been saying for some time - this whole economic issue has been brewing for some time - and has been an intentional plan from a long time back.
