George Soros : Europes ominous moves against the Roma

By George Soros
NEW YORK —
—The Roma have been persecuted across Europe for centuries. Now Roma (often called Gypsies, a term they dislike) face a form of discrimination unseen in Europe since World War II: group evictions and expulsions from several European democracies of men, women and children on the grounds that they pose a threat to public order.

This month, France began to carry out plans to expel all non-French Roma, implicating them as a group in criminal activity, without any legal process to determine whether individuals have committed any crime or pose a threat. These French actions follow Italy's "security package" of 2008, which described so-called "nomads" as a threat to national security and imposed emergency legislation leading to expulsions of non-Italian Roma.

George Soros slashes exposure to US equities

By James Quinn - The Telegraph | Published: 7:51 AM 08/19/2010
The legendary investor’s Soros Fund Management – which has approximately $25bn (£16bn) under management – reduced its equity investments by 42pc to $5.1bn by the end of June, down from $8.8bn at the end of March.

The asset allocation decisions were made during a period in which the Standard & Poor’s 500 index – the broadest US equity index – fell 12pc.

The fact that Mr Soros – best known as the man reputed to have made $1bn by “breaking the Bank of England” during the 1992 fiscal crisis – has decided to make such a concerted shift out of equities will send a clear message to other investors.

Billionaire George Soros Portfolio

George Soros
Hungarian-born George Soros is famous for co-founding the Quantum Fund, a private hedge fund responsible for the bulk of Soros' $14 billion fortune. The fund, which was launched in 1970, was notorious for focusing on overseas investments - particularly major bets on currencies and emerging market stocks.

Some of the new positions taken on by Soros Fund Management last quarter include an $81 million stake in Cobalt Energy (NYSE:CIE), a $54.2 million stake in PNC Financial Services (NYSE:PNC) and a $33.1 million bet on Telecom Argentina (NYSE:TEO).

Those buys were offset in part by large position closures, including a $66.4 million stake in food processing firm Bunge Limited (NYSE:BG) and a $22.4 million stake in Coach (NYSE:COH). (To learn more about this high-stakes investor, see George Soros: The Philosophy Of An Elite Investor.)
