According to the article, the only fund that has experienced a greater gain is Ray Dalio\u2019s Bridgewater Pure Alpha Fund with net gains of $45 billion since inception. <\/p>\n<p>Given Soros\u2019 status, you have to respect his opinion. When he revealed in an interview with Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos that he was shorting U.S. stocks via the S&#038;P 500 and buying treasuries, investors should take notice. This is advice from the man that called the devaluation of the British Pound, the rise in Deutschemark and the collapse of the Japanese stock market during the 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being bearish on U.S. stocks and bullish on treasuries, Soros is bearish on Asian currencies and countries that are heavily reliant on raw material production. <\/p>\n<p>Rick Pendergraft<br \/>\nResearch Analyst<br \/>\nHedgeCoVest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (HedgeCo.net) \u2013 It is hard to argue with one of the most successful hedge fund managers in history, so when you learn that George Soros is shorting the S&#038;P 500 and buying U.S. treasuries, it should serve as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[919,16,3,16048],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hedge-fund-research","category-hedgeco-networks-press-releases","category-hedgeco-news","category-hedgecovest-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51432"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51434,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51432\/revisions\/51434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
