Speaking in Davos, George Soros said he shorted the S&P 500 and that now is not the time to buy, according to Bloomberg.
Soros is long U.S. government bonds and says Russia is in a very, very weak position. The investor believes Russia has enough reserves to last for "a couple of years."
Soros also commented [not verbatim]:
- China can manage a hard landing as it has resources to do so
- China and oil devaluations fuel deflation
- QE has worked; it save the world from a great depression
- He acted "one year too late" when it raised rates
- He'd be "very surprised" if the Fed raised rates again
- However, a Fed rate cut could happen
- QE is one diminishing return now
- The one Big Idea is deflation
- He is long U.S. bonds
