A Look at George Soros's Recent Trades

"he tries to turn us into Europe". Much of what Soros says makes perfect sense. Do you think it is bad to criticize policies that one disagrees with, like going to war on false data? Give us a break. It would be a good idea to follow Europe, in some areas. They have affordable healthcare there. We run to the doctor for every little thing and demand drugs and have unsustainably high healthcare costs. This is what we are turning over to our children? This country has turned into a joke. It was called 'the greatest generation' during the last world war. No more. History will call this the selfish generation. It is not wrong to point this out. It is right, in the hope of correcting it. But we won't. We want everything without paying for it- the conservative way, "tax cut and spend". Woe to children. By the way, did you call george bush an extremist, for pandering to fundamentalist christians with extreme views. For changing scientific findings at the EPA and the FDA? I thought that scientists make such findings, and advise the political end in order that proper science based policies are implemented. Is the denial of science an extreme view? Which person put forth views that deny science, bush or soros?

Financials and Retail: Not as Dire as They Seem

These companies are not bargains, they will go lower- a lot lower. Real estate has a long way to go on the downside.
