Tom, I am not saying Soros use of leverage is illegal. Only that it amplifies his returns. Buffet uses leverage (still does!) too but not in the way another poster described. Can you think how Buffet has used a ton of leverage over the years in a creative way? Look at Train's The Money Masters and read about his still standing bet to any Technician. That will tell you truly how much it is worth. Zippo. Come to think of it, isn't Schwager the one who does the infomercials about some option trading system? Or is that Bernstein? Can't remember. What else has he written? Run Tom don't walk away from this guys ideas!! You'll have more to invest in Berkshire, or Baby B like me! People have to care to challenge the findings Tom! I care, but not enough to go prove him wrong. Nobody has time to check the facts! A guy who makes 700% a year trading might do that two years in a row. Then he would lOSE 95% of his capital the next year. Traders don't get rich Tom, they start Web sites (street.com) and make their brokers rich, who make it coming and going. Don't sell the Forbes 400 short Tom. If there were a trader who got really rich from trading, they would sniff him out through the grapevine and he would be FEATURED in Forbes. Much like if they caught Bigfoot. You'd definitely hear about it on 2020! PS: I call you Tom for short. No insult intended!!!
