Without a robust recovery [...] Billionaire speculator George Soros survived Nazism and Communism and says our current “situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career.” “At times like these, survival is the most important thing,” he says… He doesn’t just mean it’s time to protect your assets. He means it’s time to stave off disaster.
