*******************************************

After a long hiatus, George Soros has returned to trading, lured by opportunities to profit from what he sees as coming economic troubles.

Worried about the outlook for the global economy and concerned that large market shifts may be at hand, the billionaire hedge-fund founder and philanthropist recently directed a series of big, bearish investments, according to people close to the matter.

Soros Fund Management LLC, which manages $30 billion for Mr. Soros and his family, sold stocks and bought gold and shares of gold miners, anticipating weakness in various markets. Investors often view gold as a haven during times of turmoil.

The old fart is going to step off soon and leave his ill-gotten gains behind. Then he will be called to account for betraying his own people to the Nazis. Woe to you, Soros.

Socialism must be great for those pushing it at the top who get filthy rich exploiting the misery of the peasants.

I don’t for one second believe this is the whole story. Probably a scheme to get people to short in front a rip-your-face off dow rally to 26,000.

This POS needs to be rendered inert in a most unpleasant way. But first, take out the boot-licking minions around him, one by one - make him so terrified of every noise, he'll welcome a visit from The Reaper. Make him scamper like the diseased rat that he is.

He may have lost it, or his view of the world could be obsolete.

While Japan is certainly in trouble. I see a pickup in the US, and to some extent in Europe.

I certainly wouldn’t bet on a downturn, since the current economic situation is already baked into prices. If I were a trader rather than an investor, I’d look for higher oil prices, more housing construction, and an increase in freight volumes. I could be wrong, though, and unlike Soros don’t have spare billions for wagering.

Danté wrote that there are some souls so evil they re already in Hell, while their still living bodies are being run here by demons.

Fr Malachi Martin talked about essentially the same thing as someone who was "perfectly possessed".

George Soros has returned to trading, lured by opportunities to profit from what he sees as coming economic troubles . . .

. . . which he will engineer. I could vote for Trump more enthusiastically if he'd pledge to extradite this demon to France, Thailand or Malaysia . . . among other places which want a piece of him.

I’m betting soros’s violent anti-Trump paid minions have no clue who he is, much less that he signs their paychecks.

It would be so rich if we could manipulate these dumb violent minions into violently attacking soros based on his status as a billionaire one percenter.

I am sure he is working hard to shape the situations he intends to profit from.

Don’t be surprised if there’s a crash in October before the rally.

I believe Thailand and Malaysia have both sentenced him to death in absentia.
