Wonderful Biography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
You won't get any great financial insights but you will find out about one heck of a guy. Soros is candid and talks a lot about how he sees the world and intends to change it. Very interesting if you want to hear his story.
Thinking does help! If you're good at it!

Many people insist that one can't beat the market. They tell you: don't even try. Heaven forbid you pick out a few stocks which you think will go up (they'll tell you you'll almost certainly be wrong) but instead buy all sorts of stocks (stocks you think will go up, stocks you think will go down, and stocks you think will go sideways (to make this easy just buy some index))in an attempt to insure an average return. And while many people believe this, there are also many (with some overlap) who still try to outsmart the market. Please don't expect a formula, cookbook, or road map. You won't find a list of stocks to buy here. Soros can't tell you: always buy stocks with a P/E below this, or sell stocks when the moon is full, or they fall 8% from where you bought them (Is it 8% or 9%? It's all so arbitrary isn't it? What does it matter what price you paid, the earth doesn't revolve around you and neither does the future of any stock. Soros can give you some perspective and teach you that you may actually have to think, and think well, with each decision! And THIS, is far better than presenting a bunch of false rules!

Simply the most complete financial mind in the world. Some money managers follow "the-stock-the-stock-the-stock" and some managers follow the "chart-chart-chart" Whereas Soros is interested in where the chart should be and not where it is today-- nor even where it has been. Soros on Soros is the master-- thinking outside of the box-- a master of his own craft-- an owner of his own ideas, not a purveyor--- a very powerful intellect.
A real example of " How to make money!"
