George Soros

This podcast details the historic events of September 1992, when financier George Soros "broke" the Bank of England, earning approximately $1.5 billion in a single trade.Key Highlights:The Economic Context: Britain was part of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM), forcing the pound to stay pegged to the German mark at an unsustainable rate. Soros identified this fundamental flaw (3:04–4:36).The Philosophy of Reflexivity: Soros viewed markets as inherently flawed systems, believing that human perception distorts economic reality. When these distortions become extreme, a market correction is inevitable (2:01–3:03).The "Bet of the Century": Together with Stanley Druckenmiller, Soros built a massive $10 billion short position against the British pound (6:04–7:03).Black Wednesday: On September 16, 1992, despite the Bank of England raising interest rates to 15% in a desperate attempt to save the currency, the market forced the UK to withdraw from the ERM. The pound subsequently collapsed, and Soros realized his massive profit (7:04–9:35).Legacy and Aftermath: While the event caused political turmoil in the UK, the subsequent devaluation helped the British economy recover. Soros later utilized his wealth to fund the Open Society Foundations, promoting democracy and human rights worldwide (13:03–17:06).

Jacob spoke with famed investor Jim Rogers during the 14th episode of Keepin Kozy. Jim Rogers is one of the most well-known investors of the 20th century having co-founded the Quantum Fund and the George Soros Fund with another legendary investor George Soros. Outside of finance, he is probably better known for leaving the world of finance to travel the actual world in his memoirs Adventure Capitalist and Investment Biker.
