I had an appointment to interview legendary financier George Soros who was in town recently.  A colleague asked me to get some financial tips from the man who made billions in the stock market during past crises
while others got burnt.  If anyone got any fail proof investment strategies, this veteran market player would certainly be the man. Since the world is still reeling in the midst of a global financial crisis (I just got back from Europe where the Euro is taking a beating from the debt crisis in Greece), I thought I better acquaint myself with the wherefores and hows of the recent financial market meltdown.

So I got hold of George Soros’ book with the suitably cogent title ‘The new paradigm for financial markets:  the credit crisis of 2008 and what it means’ and was ready for an expounder on supply and demand, bullish and bearish market sentiment and so on and so forth that reflects the workings of a capitalist economic theory, or something along those lines.  Soros after all should know.  He has made so much money in the market he is now happy to spread it around in philanthropic activities.
