Top 2 Picks From George Soros Portfolio

 For more than 40 years, George Soros delivered an average annual return of about 20% to the investors in his hedge fund. At that rate of return, a $10,000 investment when the fund was started in 1969 would have grown to more than $20 million when Soros closed the fund in 2011.

Soros did not provide day-to-day management for the fund throughout its entire history, but he was the driving force behind those gains.

He may be best known for his success in the currency markets. Soros is the trader who broke the Bank of England and enjoyed a $1 billion profit in a single day. But Soros started his career as a stock market analyst and demonstrated his extraordinary talent for investing in his 1987 book, "The Alchemy of Finance." His stock selection was responsible for most of the returns in his hedge fund. His fund more than doubled in about a year while he was documenting his thoughts about the markets.

The Bottom of the Barrel at the George Soros Institute for Internet Trolling

 Don wrote: Just how many vacation days did President George W. Bush take during his reign? - Obama on Vacation: The $28,429,533.47 Man

Dear Comrade Don,

George W. Bush took vacations either at his own home in Texas or at his parents’ place in Kennebunkport. That’s not the same thing as flying off to South Africa on safari or touring Brazil or hanging at Martha’s Vineyard.

It’d be nice to see the Obamas go back to Illinois, back to Hyde Park for a vacation, and hey, it would lower their carbon footprint too.

But when exactly have liberals been a "do-as-I-do" kind of people?

The most consistent feature of liberal legislation is that it exempts them and their lobbyists, unions and corporate pals from the effects of the social engineering they foist on the rest of us.

Soros Adviser Turned Lawmaker Sees Crisis by 2020: Japan Credit

Takeshi Fujimaki, a former adviser to billionaire George Soros and now a member of Japan’s upper house of parliament, said a fiscal crisis in Asia’s second-biggest economy is inevitable and neither a higher sales tax nor the 2020 Olympics will be able to stop it.

“I decided to become a politician because I think financial crisis will come sooner or later,” Fujimaki said in a Sept. 24 interview in Tokyo. “This total debt will continue to increase. I don’t think Japan can survive until 2020.”

Two ETFs To Invest Like George Soros, Carl Ichan and John Paulson

Neena Mishra: The Federal Reserve has decided to keep its $85 billion bond buying program in place and the stock market which was in the consolidation mode for the last few weeks, has resumed its upward march. With the punch bowl still on the table, the stock market party  may go on some time.

As a result of stock market optimism, investors have continued to pour a lot of money in US equity funds this year, but most of the money has gone to top few ETFs. The largest ETF SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) now has a whopping $148.2 billion in AUM. On the other hand, many smaller ETFs, particularly the ones that focus on certain ‘niche’ strategies continue to remain out of limelight.

Some of these ‘niche’ ETFs provide access to certain obscure corners of the investment world that are otherwise not accessible to ordinary investors. One such area is hedge fund investing.

Soros to Goldman Poised to Win on Crisis-Era Housing Bet

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and billionaire George Soros are poised for gains from a housing bet placed in the depths of the financial crisis.
Essent Group Ltd., the Bermuda-based mortgage insurer that raised $500 million from a group including those backers in 2009, filed last week to sell shares in the first initial public offering of a home-loan guarantor in almost two decades.

The industry is rebounding from record homeowner defaults that triggered payouts, forced almost half the companies out of the business and pushed some of the biggest survivors to the brink of default. With property prices now rising at about the fastest pace since 2006 and the government reducing its role backing home loans, firms that sold policies before housing collapsed -- Radian Group Inc. and MGIC Investment Corp. -- are attracting new investors to replace capital lost in the slump.

George Soros - Net Gain on Anti-Ackman Stocks

Bill Ackman wagered major and very public bets in favor of his ability to see value - or its nonexistence - in several companies in recent years. This year, prominent investor George Soros became involved in two of Ackman's pet projects, and not necessarily as an ally. Soros took a 9% stake in J.C. Penney ( JCP ) and a

4.9% stake in Herbalife ( HLF ) as his largest new positions in the second quarter. So far, he has had mixed results, but a net gain.

George Soros and David Einhorn love these Stocks

By Meena Krishnamsetty and Matt Doiron

In August, billionaire David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital and billionaire George Soros's Soros Fund Management filed their 13Fs for the second quarter of 2013 with the SEC, disclosing many of their long equity positions as of the end of June. Despite the inherent delay in 13Fs- which sometimes causes market 

watchers to claim they have little utility for most investors—we've actually found that the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds earn an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year, and we think that more strategies are possible as well. Our own small cap portfolio based on our monkeying strategy outperformed the S&P 500 by 29 percentage points since inception in August 2012.
