George Soros     georgesoros.com/       

Known for the unmatched success of his Quantum Fund. A hedge fund guru, he is recognized for having the best performance record of any investment fund in the world over its 26-year history. If you invested $100,000 in 1969 when Soros established the Quantum Fund and reinvested all dividends, your investment would have been worth over $150 million by the spring of 1994.

Investing Philosophy:
His basic theory of investing was that financial markets are chaotic. The prices of stocks, bonds and currencies depend on the human beings who buy and sell them, and those traders often act out of highly emotional reactions rather than coolly logical calculations. Opportunities can be found by carefully studying the value and the market prices of assets.
