"The rest of us (including Soros) buy stocks that will make us some money."

Soros reminds me of cheap Scotsman [I'm half Scot, so I can say this]. He gave millions of this money to Moveon.org and tried everything he could to defame Halliburton [though his main purpose was to attack Bush- who he swore to stop him from being re-elected. LOL].
After this waste of money he recoups it by investing in Halliburton. After all he spent all that money attacking it- in a sense he got the company vetted for any and all possible weakness- and after an exhaustive effort of all hate mongering by all those lefty true believers, it proves his investment is rock solid.

I have no problem with anyone investing in Halliburton.

It's just Soros is a evil scumbag. I like the fact he gave some effort at getting us cheaper cars from China, but he is still a dishonorable piece of crap. I would not personally take any money from the creep and I hope he dies from some really horribly painful disease. But I do realize these evil bastards as a general rule seem to live forever. I hope he makes hundreds of billions just as long as he continues living and knowing that all his money can't buy America.
