Soros Says Commercial Property Values Will Fall 30%
March 26 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire investor George Soros said U.S. commercial real estate will probably drop at least 30 percent in value, causing further strains on banks.
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
“It’s a bear market rally,”
George Soros told Bloomberg today. Leave it to the odd Hungarian billionaire to state the obvious: “It’s a bear market rally because we have not yet turned the economy around… This isn’t a financial crisis like all the other financial crises that we have experienced in our lifetime.”
So where is Soros -- one of the world’s most successful investors -- putting his billions? “I think Brazil actually,” says the thickly bespectacled one, “together with China, will be among the recovering countries. The outlook for Brazil is better than for most other countries.”

Soros sees no bottom for world financial "collapse"
Soros sees no bottom for world financial "collapse"
Sat Feb 21, 4:19 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Renowned investor George Soros said on Friday the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of a near-term resolution to the crisis.
Soros said the turbulence is actually more severe than during the Great Depression, comparing the current situation to the demise of the Soviet Union.
He said the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September marked a turning point in the functioning of the market system.
"We witnessed the collapse of the financial system," Soros said at a Columbia University dinner. "It was placed on life support, and it's still on life support. There's no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom."
His comments echoed those made earlier at the same conference by Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman who is now a top adviser to President Barack Obama.
Volcker said industrial production around the world was declining even more rapidly than in the United States, which is itself under severe strain.
"I don't remember any time, maybe even in the Great Depression, when things went down quite so fast, quite so uniformly around the world," Volcker said.
