A song I wrote probably in 1988 or so while working at NCZ:

(to the tune of Bad Bad Leroy Brown)

 
Well on the West Side of Manhattan,
There's a trader with lots of fame
The markets fade,
When he begins to trade
George Soros, is his name
Well, Soros, he's a TRADER,
He loves to take a chance,
He trades the swiss and yen
whenever he can,
He moves markets with just one glance,

And he's the Big, Bad Quantum Fund,
Trading Volume it's number one,
Bigger than Tudor Jones,
They move markets all alone,

Now Friday, bout a year ago,
Stocks went way down low,
George said, why,
I'm gonna buy,
Cause upward they will go.
Well the market crashed that Monday,
But Soros was filled with mirth,
The Fund was down a BILLION BUT, he still had
HALF of his net WORTH.

And he's the Big, Bad Quantum Fund,
Trading Volume it's number one,
Bigger than Tudor Jones,
They move markets all alone,

Now Soros, for a billionaire,
his thinking is a bit bizarre,
He talks about nothing but equality,
As he's riding in his fancy car.
He spends a lot of time in China, now,
Says he's opening the markets there,
He says he's doing a service for our Asian friends,
But in the profits, George will share,

And he's the Big, Bad Quantum Fund,
Trading Volume it's number one,
Bigger than Tudor Jones,
They move markets all alone,

Now the Quantum fund was in need of help
Goerge wanted it to earn more cash,
A man called Victor said,
It's your fault,
That you lost it in the Crash.
George he hired a trading genius,
Krieger was his name,
He's an Indian Guru,
But it didn't help,
Cause he lost money just the same

And he's the Big, Bad Quantum Fund,
Trading Volume it's number one,
Bigger than Tudor Jones,
They move markets all alone,
Yes he's bigger than Tudor Jones,
He moves Markets All Alone

Victor Niederhoffer sends:

(To the tune of Suddenly Seymour)

Suddenly Soros
       wrote in the FT
       That he sees weakness
           In the S & P
               Soros and El Erian
                   are bearish on spu's…

etc. etc.

    As i'm going through the alchemy book for the 2nd time [George Soros: The Alchemy of Finance]. I start to understand the basics. I don't know who influenced who, but since you were there, what is the role of the currencies in the portfolio allocation? I can see the role the equity and bond pieces play, but where do currencies fit in the brownian motion?
