Go to a library, and research the GDP of Russia, Hungary, Poland, Turkey (to name a few) from 1976 through 1990. Look for sudden drops in output. Look at charts of the currencies. If you truly wants to know and not merely wants to win arguments, then send me a private mail, and I may send back research material where you can begin to understand how Soros made his billions.

A very simple point I leave you tonight. Don't think that while you are riding a 300% increase in some asset that you are not hurting someone else. Now imagine this example multiply by a factor of a few million.

Remember how in the classic "It's a Wonderful Life" how a lone man can positively affect the lives of so many in a small town? Well, Soros made nearly a billion off Great Britain and a quarter billion from Russia and Poland, do you think that no one suffered from this?
