The global crisis is caused by pathologies inherent in the global financial system itself. - George Soros

How good are markets in predicting real-world developments? Reading the record, it is striking how many calamities that I anticipated did not in fact materialise.

Financial markets constantly anticipate events, both on the positive and on the negative side, which fail to materialise exactly because they have been anticipated.

It is an old joke that the stock market has predicted seven of the last two recessions. Markets are often wrong.

I commissioned two political experts to advise me about what I could do to oppose the re-election of President Bush.

My peculiarity is that I don't have a particular style of investing or, more exactly, I try to change my style to fit the conditions.
