He is a noted investor and founder of the highly successful yet now defunct Quantum Fund (with George Soros).

He has been long the Dollar, which he says is rallying artificially, and is looking for this unwind to continue before he unloads the rest of his Dollar position, as he believes the US is trying to devalue its currency. He also currently owns some Japanese Yen and has elaborated on currencies recently. Considering his distaste for some of these paper currencies, he has a small gold position. But, he prefers silver and agriculture to gold....MUCH MORE
