"The history of the world economy is a continuous drama based on illusions and lies. To gain wealth, the method is to recognize the illusions, participate in them, and then exit the game before the illusions are recognized by the public." This is said to be a classic quote from George Soros. Today, we review George Soros's short-selling record. His record is most famous for shorting currencies, generally characterized by "major victories with occasional losses." His shorting of the British pound in 1992 was his masterpiece, earning him the title of the man who brought down the Bank of England. He conducts macro hedging transactions through the Quantum Fund, with the core philosophy of "reflexivity"—market expectations are self-reinforcing. He excels at identifying fixed exchange rates or policy contradictions that governments/central banks cannot maintain, and then shorting them with high leverage. He has consistently invested heavily in US presidential and midterm elections. In this year's US midterm elections, he invested approximately $102 million in the Democratic campaign, making him the top individual donor to the Democratic Party during this cycle. Musk once stated, "I believe Soros is the biggest contributor to the Democratic Party. He fundamentally hates humanity. He's doing things that erode the foundations of civilization." In learning about him, it was also discovered that he had a record of losing nearly $1 billion in 2016 when he shorted US stocks in the year Trump won. Given Soros's status as a representative of the left and his impressive track record, it's not hard to speculate that he may have played a role in the midterm elections.
