"Theory of Reflexivity" - Interesting article by George Soros

[Trend Hunter]

I came across an article yesterday by the famous trader George Soros on his "Theory of Reflexivity".

Its a long article and he's obviously a deep thinker about his trading.

I think it makes alot of sense, to understanding the relationship between Market Price and Social Science (human behavior).

Anyways let us know what you think.

Funnily enough, in practice, Soros rarely uses his 'theory of reflexivity', as examples of it only come about every so often....

Hi MRC,
Soros talks how he has made a lot of money trading what he terms as the "Fat Tails". Which to my understanding "Fat Tails" fits to what he is talking about with his Theory of Reflexivity.
