Soros Profiting from Your Loss

If you were upset by the AIG executives, what is your reaction to George Soros? While Barack Obama was talking down the economy and investors saw their portfolios cut in half, Soros and three other hedge fund managers made literally billions buy selling stocks short and driving the price of shares down.

Four hedge fund managers made over $1 billion by wiping out trillions of dollars of people's net worth. Together the top four fund managers made between $7 and $8 billion dollars personally. Meanwhile the Democrats in Congress are busy stirring up public ire about a few million that workers at AIG were promised if they stayed on to clean up the mess.

It's an old magician's trick of misdirection. While Frank, Dodd and Obama tell you to look over there, they rake in the campaign contributions from financial pirates who profit by driving the price of your stocks down and destroy your plans for retirement. Coincidence?


George Soros, ... made .. $1.1 billion last year.
'It is, in a way, the culminating point of my life’s work,' he told national newspaper The Australian.

Soros is one of 25, top hedge fund managers from across Wall Street.


The other top earners in the hedge fund world are


1 - James Simons, Renaissance Technologies Corp, $2.5 billion
2 - John Paulson, Paulson & Co, $2 billion
3 - John Arnold, Centaurus Energy, $1.5 billion
4 - George Soros, Soros Fund Management, $1.1 billion


Guess who these masters of universe, these uber-rich plutocrats who feast at your expense, who short the stock you own to drive the prices down ... guess who they support? From Open Secrets:

Here's James Simons who personally made $2.5 billion last year. And who does this Wall Street plutocrat support? Check this out (clue - there's not a Republican on the list):
