Wasn't Rodgers the partner of George Soros in their Quantum Fund?... those guys made billions shorting the British Pound, etc, etc
They, like say Peter Schiff, are "mega trenders", not terribly concerned about entering or exiting on short term market timing.
Not traders as we define traders on this forum. Personally, I think Soros's greatest contribution was/is his theory of "reflexivity", google it and him.

He talked about the internal leading and influencing the external. As regards stock markets. It was pretty interesting. But he did say the external must be ready to follow the internal.
The internal being the market and the external being the economy.
Once the internal does begin to influence the external, a trend can be established as the two become self reinforcing.

I think Rogers came up with the ideas and Soros executed them. Soros apparently had better timing skills than Rogers, which doesn't surprise me given Rogers' recent track record.
