HAPPY New Year, etc., etc. Much in formation, so pay attention:
George Soros. You know the name. Hungarian-born billionaire, Nazi occupation survivor, age 74. Strong-minded, tough-willed, political activist, one of the world's richest men, he unloosed $5 billion to promote democracy in the Soviet bloc. Owns a slice of practically everything including jetBlue. Recall recent headlines for spending many of his own millions to try and defeat Bush's re-election? Well, he's suddenly worried Big Brother might now come after him.
Unknown to practically everyone except windy Cindy is that Mr. Soros is quietly divesting himself, even as we speak, of anything in his private equity group that contains Third Party money. To circumvent what he frets could be the Bush Cabinet, a k a The Grim Reapers, coming after him in terms of SEC, FTC, IRS or any other initials, all's being sold off or spun away from him. Even shucking some stuff he personally owns outright. However, whatever's retained will be whatever has him as its sole investor with his own money of which he has approximately $16 billion, give or take an IRA. All will be placed into some newly defined entity.
