I like Glen Back, but agree, he's overly dramatic. My Clients are mostly conservative retirees, and when they watch Glen, I often have a job on my hands explaining that he may be right on many issues, but not investments.
You jokers who criticize Soros are, well, jokers. You don't know what you're talking about, and you readily chew and swallow anything predigested and presented to you on a plate. I've read a number of books by him and about him. Most recently, in Sebastian Mallaby's excellent history of hedge funds, More Money Than God. Yes, he is somewhat liberal in his politics, which happens to be my own viewpoint. However, as with guys like Buffett, he wants what's best for the country rather than for himself personally. If you suggest otherwise, you're just someone else's drone. There is so much bullshit written about him and some of you guys are just passing it on like a disease.
If that statement is true, then why does he, as an American citizen have his hedge fund based in Bermuda where he pays little to no taxes? I mean look, he has all these great ideas for our government that cost the taxpayers billions of dollars but does he pay for any of this? No. Why not? If his ideas are so wonderful he should be more then happy to help contribute no? I'm confused Gabby. Why don't you help me understand.
Really? Is that all you got? Here, let me help you understand. "...He formed the Quantum Fund early that year with his partner at the time, James Rogers. It was then, as now, an offshore fund, based in Cura ao and off limits to U.S. citizens or residents. Soros has never sponsored a U.S. investment vehicle, even though his operations are based in New York. Offshore funds are exempt from U.S. regulation. Thus they can be as adventurous in their investing as the private hedge-fund limited partnerships that operate in the U.S. But the offshore funds can grow to any size, whereas hedge funds are limited by U.S. law to 99 investors and usually require a minimum investment of at least $1 million..." http://www.businessweek.com/archives/1993/b333342.arc.htm
Dude, I went through that whole piece and there was nothing in it addressing my point. Like a typical liberal, you dodge and obfuscate. I guess that pretty sums it up then. You can't defend his hypocrisy. Yes, I understand his investors are not liable for taxes as they are not US citizens, but he is!
Dude, you have nothing to say. This is what f*ucking drives me apeshit about liberals. They espouse all these views but when it comes to actually walking the walk, they run away. This pos evades our taxes but keeps a nice office on Park Ave in NY and lives in NY. What a f*cking douche bag.
No, of course your political views don't bias you. There are two political views as far as I care: 1) I want to tell YOU want to do 2) Do what you want, just leave me the fuck alone I suspect you fall under 1
