yes soros is falliable like us all it was very seductive at the end of dec
98 that the euro would at least hold if not apprecaite agst the usd -------
acct defecit,portfoliio flow into euro,asian cbs divesting usds into euros,
the presdency under impeachmant...... so soros and druckenmiller can also
fall for the same logic
please dont think that these guys are infalliable..... most of the time they
use there superior leverage ,funds and contacts to give them greater staying
power
