    Soros obviously has an open position on the value of the Euro, which is starting to recover after a recent dip.
    A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

    That had nothing to do with exit from the ERM.

    The thing about Soros though is that he didn't make his money by being wrong, did he?

    It had everything to do with it.ERM was toxic like its successor the Euro.Economies have been destroyed beyond repair.Worse than the Black Death pandemic of 1348 which was also carried by rats.

    He also didn't make his money by telling everybody his positions.
    Never let the best be the enemy of the good.

    If the people of continental Europe are really that immature, let them have their union. Just keep us out of it.

    I don't trust or pay too much attention to anyone who is rich enough or connected enough to manipulate markets and/or currencies.
    The €uro is dying. Fiat money is worthless. Long live the Gold Standard!
