My investment hero: George Soros
08 February 2014
In the latest in a series of articles, FE Trustnet Investazine’s Steve McDowell reveals why he looks up to “the man who broke the Bank of England”.
Hungarian-American, British-educated, philosopher, self-made multi-billionaire, ultra-contrarian investor and massive currency speculator, controversial author, Nazi-fleeing Jewish emigrant, philanthropist, pro-democracy campaigner, convicted insider-trader (albeit in France where that kind of thing has been fashionable for a while) outspoken atheist, pro-marijuana campaigner and Esperanto speaker.
In fact his legend is so acute and his currency trades so vast, that to many, he has become a one-man fiscal tsunami that has given birth to the kind of nomenclature normally devoted to entire nations, races or political movements. It is called Anti-Sorosism.
