Druckenmiller: Chapter 1 -Hot dog Stand To Breaking the £Pound

from Sleepy Stock Market · host Sleepy Stock Market

Stanley Druckenmiller started college wanting to be an English professor — then one economics class in 1973 rerouted everything. By 28 he founded Duquesne Capital; by 1992 he engineered the trade that broke the Bank of England alongside George Soros, netting over $1 billion in a single day. Druckenmiller ran Duquesne for over 30 years with no losing years and annualized returns above 30 percent. He shut it down in 2010 — not from failure, but because managing other people's money had become too much to bear.🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SLEEPY STOCK MARKET Fall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#Druckenmiller #HedgeFund #MacroTrading #GeorgeSoros #BlackWednesday #InvestingHistory #WallStreet #FinanceHistory #Duquesne #StanleyDruckenmiller
