Soros, who is fond of saying that risk comes from "not knowing what you are doing," knew going in that the most he could lose was about 4% of his portfolio. "There was really very little risk involved," he said after walking away with $2 billion in profits. Soros is more interested in an idea that should serve as vital investment advice to the rest of us: It's not the amount of risk you take. More importantly, it is how much money you make when you're right about a stock and how much you lose when you're wrong. The key to Soros' investment legend is embedded in that simple philosophy of investing in a handful of positions that generate big profits that can offset losses on other investments. But that's not diversification, one of the top commandments followed by Wall Street types. Soros doesn't believe in diversification. He believes in getting a few big picks right and sticking with them. Discover the six battle-tested investment principles of George Soros. AND, how you can put them to use in your portfolio today. Go here now. The Man who Moves the MarketsSoros commands attention not so much for his political views, but for the economic clout he wields behind his political agenda. His personal fortune is estimated at $7.2 billion. In 2005, Forbes listed him as the 28th richest person in the United States. For 2006 he checks in as the 71st riches person in the world! His investment story dates back to 1969, when he co-founded the Quantum fund with Jim Rogers, another accomplished trader. Rogers would go on to be a world-famous investor as well. The Quantum Fund was a private company that would, over the next decade, generate the bulk of his fortune. To say the fund's performance has been stellar is an understatement. A $1,000 investment with Soros in 1969 would be worth nearly $6 million today. Compare that to a $1,000 investment in the S&P, which would be worth a little more than $34,000 today. In fact, with a compounded annual rate of return in excess of 28%, the Quantum Fund makes Soros the most powerful and profitable investor in the world. Soros has recently had some interesting views on the U.S. economy - and the direction in which it is headed. In the short term at least, it's not a bullish view. At this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, billionaire financier George Soros was reflecting on the U.S. dollar and the future of the American economy including:

Soros' biggest moves of late appear to be focused in the biopharmaceutical sector. While Soros hasn't talked about the subject, we believe he sees what we at FIR see.

In the United States the big pharmas have taken a beating, under attack from the trial attorneys. But typical of Soros, he sees the big picture and big future for drug companies.

We Help You Make Sense of the Avalanche of InformationOne of the reasons Financial Intelligence Report has been so successful at finding the truth and revealing it: We don't have vested interests. All of the major financial TV shows and publications are dependent on advertising from both major corporations and financial firms, which benefit from a bull market. These businesses will no doubt penalize media outlets that offer bearish perspectives. FIR strives to offer a "distance" in its contrarian financial analysis. We think our contrarian outlook is wise as long as it is based on facts - not a religion of negativity. We must point out that we have been bullish on many investment sectors. Today we feel that there are some worrisome signs indicating future economic woes for the U.S. And we didn't come to that conclusion quickly. For instance, our longtime readers know it took us some time to become bearish on real estate. In 2004 we recommended several REITs that investors could benefit from. At that time, several "doom and gloom" newsletters were predicting a radical real estate-inspired depression. But we didn't buy into that scenario. As 2005 unfolded, it was clear to us that the real estate bubble was indeed set to pop, and we advised investors to sell their REITs for a tidy profit. Those included Catellus Development (+66%), Tanger Factory Outlets (+50%), and Parkway Properties (+33%).
