08/15/2014 – Billionaire investor George Soros has increased his financial bet that U.S. stocks will collapse to more than $2 billion.
The legendary hedge fund manager has been raising his negative bet on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since late last year.
The latest 13-F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows that Soros Fund Management increased its position in “puts” on the SPDR S&P 500 exchange-traded fund by a staggering amount in the second quarter from the first.
Editor’s Note: New Warning – Stocks on Verge of Major Collapse
The chairman of Soros Fund Management lifted his position to 11.3 million put options on the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), boosting the short position from 2.96 percent to 16.65 percent. The dollar value of the position soared to $2.2 billion from around $299 million. At 16.65 percent, that position is the biggest slice of the Soros firm’s portfolio.
