I wake up one morning and the head of the Bundesbank, Helmut
Schlesinger, has given an editorial in the Financial
Times, and I'll skip all the flowers
It basically said the British pound is crap and we don' t want to
be united with this currency. So, I thought well,
this is my opportunity. So, I decided I'm going to
bet like Soros bets on the British pound against the
deutsche mark.
It just so happens he's in the office.
He's usually in Eastern Europe at this time doing his thing.
So,
I go in at 4:00 and I said, "George, I'm going to
sel1 $5.5 billion worth of British pounds tonight and
buy deutsche marks.
Here's why I'm doing it, that
means we'll have 100 percent of the fund in this one trade." And as I'm talking, he starts wincing like
what is wrong with this kid, and I think he's about
to blow away my thesis and he says, "That is the most ridiculous use of money management I ever heard
'what you described is an incredible one-way bet. We
should have 200 percent of our net worth in this
trade, not 100 percent. Do you know how often
something like this comes around? Like one or 20
years.
What is wrong with you?"
So, we started
shorting the British pound that night
We didn't get the whole 15 billion on, but we got enough that I'm sure some people in the room have read about it in the financial press
