600, I agree that Soros adds no value. The problem is how to defend the system against people like him. Many capitalists and their supporters, including the current Republicans in the US Congress, are adamant against setting up checks and balances in the financial system to avoid abuses of the market.
Buffet is as good as Soros is bad. Buffet invests in well-run companies and keeps their management intact, protecting them from the likes of Soros and also from the likes of less evil speculators who just want a quick buck.
The surprising thing is that given Buffet’s record as the most successful investor in history, that there are far more individuals who adopt the fast buck strategy than the kind of strategy that Buffet employs.
