Hedge fund guru George Soros made a couple big statements Thursday, saying that China’s stock market is “overheating”, and that gold is becoming the “ultimate bubble”.
“Right now, the Chinese market is overheating and they have to slow it down,” Soros said on Bloomberg Television. “It remains to be seen how successful they are.”
As for gold, Soros says that low interest rates around the globe are creating an environment in which new bubbles have formed, according to the Telegraph of London. “When interest rates are low we have conditions for asset bubbles to develop, and they are developing at the moment. The ultimate asset bubble is gold,” he said.

Well we are lucky he has spoken, it gives us focus.
I have followed him since 2000, and he has mostly been spot on.
If he says gold and China is a bubble, u bet yr sweet batuti, it IS a bubble!!
He didn’t say that gold is currently in bubble status. There is a big difference between “in a bubble status” and “The ultimate asset bubble is gold.”.
