Remember the old days when markets hung on every word Soros uttered on the USD, the yen, GBP .... and markets generally?

Me too.

Today he spoke but his focus was geo politics:

  • the United States is set on a course towards nuclear war by refusing to accept that [North] Korea has become a nuclear power.
  • This creates a strong incentive for North Korea to develop its nuclear capacity with all possible speed, which in turn may induce the United States to use its nuclear superiority pre-emptively, in effect to start a nuclear war to prevent a nuclear war, obviously a self-contradictory strategy

Soros also took further aim at the Prez:

  • compared Trump with Putin - Trump would like to create a "mafia state"

And so on and so forth ....

Perhaps we can fill the void left by George .... add your comments to this thread:
