George Soros
The Man Who Broke the Bank of England

Markets are always biased in one direction or another. Reflexivity means that market participants' perceptions influence fundamentals, which in turn influence perceptions. Find the prevailing bias, ride it, and get out before it reverses.
Investment Approach
- 1Identifies stocks at specific boom-bust cycle stages
- 2Formulates directional hypotheses based on reflexive dynamics
- 3Measures price divergence from fundamental trends
- 4Trades on regime shifts and macro catalysts
Selection Criteria
1Boom-bust stage identification (A through I)
2Directional hypothesis (long-side or short-side)
3Price divergence from fundamental trajectory
4Reflexive feedback loop strength assessment
Criteria derived from George Soros's published writings and investment principles.
