Dear Newsmax Reader,

George Soros

He may be a polarizing figure in the United States and East Europe, but he is also one of the world's great investors.

The Financial Intelligence Report takes a comprehensive look at George Soros. We reveal his investment principles, his global economic assessment, and his investment portfolio. You'll want to get your hands on this briefing. More on how you can get your free copy in a moment. But first . . .

When Soros shorted the British pound sterling with $10 billion worth of leverage (as he did in 1992), he would become famously known as "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" — and he sent the world a message on just exactly how world-class risk managers operate.

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 percent 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 Markets

George Soros: Investment Breakdown
Born: 1930, Budapest, Hungary
Background: Launched Quantum Fund, 1969 (became the Quantum Endowment Fund in 2000)
Performance: $1,000 invested with Soros in 1969 would be worth $6 million today*
Annual Compound Rate of Return: 28.6 percent (through 2005)
Number of Losing Years: Four (1981, 1996, 2000, 2002) compared with nine down years for the S&P 500 since 1969 until end of 2005

*$1,000 investment in the Standard & Poor's Index in 1969 would be worth $34,314 during the same time period

Soros 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 with 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 percent, the Quantum Fund makes Soros the most powerful and profitable investor in the world.

Soros has 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.

The 2006 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Soros was reflecting on the U.S. dollar and the future of the American economy, including:

  • The fate of the U.S. dollar.
  • Why he feels a slowdown is coming for the U.S. economy in 2008.
  • What hedge funds are telling us about the next 12 months.

In addition you'll discover Soros' six battle-tested investment principles. We reveal what they are and how you can use them to your advantage against the other guy.

Soros' Strategy:
The Great Healthcare Boom

George Soros: Tenets of a Great Investor
George Soros owes his wealth to superb risk management and knowing when to be cautious and knowing when to be aggressive. His top 10 investment tenets, as follows, come from the book "Becoming Rich: the Wealth-Building Secrets of the World's Master Investors: Buffett, Icahn, Soros."
  • The first priority is preservation of capital.
  • Be risk averse.
  • Develop a personal investment philosophy, an expression personality.
  • No two highly successful investors have the same approach.
  • Develop a personal system for selecting, buying, and selling investments.
  • Diversification is for the birds.
  • Do everything legally possible to minimize taxes.
  • Invest only in what is understandable.
  • Do not make investments that do not meet personal criteria. Learn to say no effortlessly.
  • Always search for new investment opportunities that meet personal criteria, and engage in research.

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. The United States, Europe, and Japan are witnessing the fast aging of their populations as the boomers born after World War II begin to retire. Their healthcare needs will only increase, as will their demand for drugs.

The healthcare sector satisfies Soros' desire for a big score. The sector is ripe for opportunity. 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.

In fact, Soros has made a slew of buys within the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical equipment sectors. In this FIR briefing we have uncovered the top 10 stocks he had bought in this emerging sector.

In addition, he added to his high-tech and biotech holdings and has hedged his bets in life sciences in a very surprising way. Of course, he had sold all his holdings in some very well know securities. We have it all for you in this briefing. You'll want to see this right away.

Lastly, we at FIR have chosen to take George Soros' lead in buying shares in a fast growing healthcare provider. Find out the name of this stock and more.

We Help You Make Sense of the
Avalanche of Information

One 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 percent), Tanger Factory Outlets (+50 percent), and Parkway Properties (+33 percent).

FIR has an incredible track record. Since 2003, the year it began publishing, it has outpaced the S&P every year — and its current portfolio picks top the S&P by over 30 percentage points!

The Financial Intelligence Report is edited each month by a team of analysts and experts led by its publisher, Christopher Ruddy.

Ruddy, a graduate of the London School of Economics, serves on the board of the prestigious Financial Publisher's Association and has been a noted commentator and author.

Ruddy and the FIR team, in turn, speak with some of the great financial minds to give our readers the other side of the story — beyond the media spin.

Our FIR team and contributors includes:

  • Gen. Alexander Haig, the former secretary of state, leading statesman and businessman
  • Lord William Rees-Mogg, the former editor of the Times of London and best-selling co-author of "The Great Reckoning" and "Blood on the Streets"
  • David Frazier, an investment securities industry expert who brings to the table more than 20 years' experience in the financial markets — he's worked for several top firms, including Dun & Bradstreet and Investor's Business Daily
  • Axel Merk, president of Merk Investments, an independent investment adviser focused on growth, value, gold, and cash strategies
  • Hans Etienne Parisis, a Belgian-born bank economist who has advised global billionaires and governments on the financial markets and international investments. Parisis is based in Panama City, Panama

And much, much more!

Alexander Haig says the Financial Intelligence Report is a "must-read for the global investor."

This is just a part of our team. Our approach is not to rely on insular opinions about the markets, but to seek out the best and brightest, globally.
