George Soros is the founder of Soros Fund Management. In 1970 he co-founded the Quantum Fund with Jim Rogers and Christoper Ink, which created the bulk of the Soros fortune. Legendary was his currency speculation against the British Bank of England:

On September 16, 1992, Soros's fund sold short more than USD 10 billion worth of pounds sterling, profiting from the Bank of England's reluctance to either raise its interest rates to levels comparable to those of other European Exchange Rate Mechanism countries or to float its currency. Finally, the Bank of England withdrew the currency from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, devaluing the pound sterling. Soros earned an estimated worth of USD 1.1 billion in the process. He was dubbed "the man who broke the Bank of England." UK Treasury estimated the total costs of Black Wednesday at GBP 3.4 billion in 1997.  [more]

Merger Plans Growing In The Agricultural Sector

May 08, 2011 – Comments (0) | RELATED TICKERS: ADM , RAH , CAG

The high prices for agricultural commodities such as corn and wheat led companies searching for takeover targets. The food company Ralcorp (RAH) received a hostile takeover bid from competitor ConAgra (CAG) at the end of April 2011. RAH is engaged in manufacturing, distributing and marketing of private-brand food products, Post brand ready-to-eat cereal products and other regional and value-brand food products. Ralcorp had rejected the bid. The Deal would have been created a USD 16 billion sales company – the second biggest food company after Kraft Foods (KFT). Through a purchase of Ralcorp, ConAgra would be the largest manufacturer of pasta and cereals in trademark products. The CEO of ConAgra, Gary Rodkin, announced in March 2011 during the presentation of the third quarter results to be a bit more aggressive in searching for takeover candidates. In June 2010, he purchased the cake producer American Pie LLC.

Meanwhile, leading operators of the food industry are trying to use their industry know-how to expand into the asset management industry. Thus, a subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) initiated a fund vehicle with which clients could benefit from rising agricultural commodity prices. This will give the world’s largest grain processor additional revenue streams. Shares of ADM, Ralcorp, ConAgra or other food processing companies remain promising.  [more]
