>George Soros lost nearly $1 billion as a result of the stock-market rally spurred by Donald Trump’s surprise presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reported.
>But Stanley Druckenmiller, Soros’s former deputy who helped him score $1 billion of profits betting against the British pound in 1992, anticipated the market’s recent climb and had sizable gains, the newspaper reported Thursday, citing sources it didn’t identify.
>Soros became more bearish immediately after Trump’s election. But the stock market has rallied on expectations that Trump’s policies will boost corporate earnings and the overall economy. The S&P 500 Index has risen 5.6 percent since Trump’s election through yesterday.
>As a result, some of Soros’s trading positions incurred losses approaching $1 billion, the Journal said. Soros exited many of his bearish bets late last year, avoiding further losses. The broader portfolio held by Soros’s firm performed better. His firm gained about 5 percent on the year, according to the report.

i'm sure he has back up profit plan from ww3
You all do realize the stock market did not go up to sufficiently counter the dollars dramatic decline, right? Trump jettisoned tens if not hundreds of billion dollars-equivalent of American buying power with his last press conference. I don't blame Soros for being bearish, he was just bearish in the wrong market. (I lost money by being bullish on the dollar in Forex.)
"Global wages will stop increasing when [real] American wages decline." Today, your real equity decreased by 1.2% or something like that. Today, Trump helped the Japanese more than he will ever help you. Ah... But will an economic stimulus from a Republican be more egalitarian than a Democrat's? No! So you're even more fucked. Will reducing the unemployment rate even further help the population? No! There is such a concept of employee liquidity. Would you /really/ rather have your company care for you from cradle to coffin?

Another way to put it is that NATO can now have its European members pay an extra NATO-Tax... Because their currency gained so much against the dollar it'd be like we paid them for a PR stunt.
