A glimpse of speculative trading from global speculative masters
“I was born poor, but I must not die poor” -- George Soros
This quote, which hangs on the wall of Soros' office. As a world-renowned financial speculator. Of course there are those who call him an investor. But investment and speculation, in the field of trading, has never been so easy to divide.
“If investing is an entertaining pastime, if you're getting fun out of it, you're probably not making any money. The really good investments are boring.”-- George Soros

Soros' financial thinking is actually derived from his speculative trading mindset. He follows the general trend, follows the trend, enters by trial and error, has no obsessions and controls risk. He has searched the world for tradable targets and has made huge profits doing so. He used this as a basis for thinking and deducing for long years, and finally, he came to have his own investment philosophy. And this is the core source of his financial thinking.
“When I was young people called me a speculator, after I made some money people called me an investor, then they honored me as a banker, and today I am known as a philanthropist. But over the decades, I've actually done the same thing all the time.” --Bernard. Baruch

Master speculator Baruch , American financier, stock market speculator, politician and political advisor. After his business success, he became an economic advisor to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, and later a philanthropist. Baruch is both a successful model of starting a business from scratch, a stock trader who is good at grasping opportunities, a flexible investor, a politician who understands economic development, a investment genius and a master of speculation.

Of course, no successful speculation is easy, and good speculators are a combination of wisdom, courage, patience and good training. Because speculative trading has the unique charm of making a fortune from nothing and turning corruption into magic, it has attracted both ordinary people and financial talents to join the speculative trading, staging a thrilling story of speculative legends.
