Strategy
Simple economics: Soros trades with limits that are derived from rules. This, and the understanding of the dynamics between economic giants on Europe, he puts the pieces together. Under the provisions of interest rate fluctuations and government intervention Soros discovered a developing bubble.

How did Soros know?
In September 1992, the United Kingdom was torn between an increase in interest rates at the level of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) or to let the currency flexible. Soros saw the devaluation of the pound ahead because: the UK, the pound would have to deduct from eERM, as the Bank of England (BOE) would not have been able to keep the GBP exchange rate over the agreed limit. Therefore, the pound would have to lose value.
Soros was known that the German Bundesbank, Germany's Federale bank, a depreciation of the S terling and the Italian lira preferred. Second, the British would be high interest rates disastrous for the UK asset prices. So he began Septemb 1992 so that he, S to borrow terling and convert them - in a mixture of F French francs and German marks.
On 16 S eptember 1992, the British P was forced to fund from the ERM.
Philosophy
George Soros takes advantage of the power of the forecast , from a slightly different angle. Soros is a pattern finder: find error patterns. He applies his knowledge in relation to a social theory- reflexivity -over its financial strategies. This theory is based on the principle of the Thomas theorem: "situations that someone defined as true for one will be true." In other words, essentially, our decisions are based on the forecasts that we make ourselves, so the forecasts are fact.
Similarly, in the arena of economic and financial markets, market forecasts of individuals can lead to decisions and actions that are based on the predictions. Here George Soros comes into play: It is an evolving financial bubble that predicts the actions of the people, and then he does exactly the opposite .
We all search for a pattern to perform something, yet the discovery of the financial strategy of the minority leads to the highest returns.
