Another chart for George Soros and Stanley Druckenmiller's Great British Pound trade about 1992 or 1993.

Soros might be a good example. I remember studying his Great British Pound trade against another currency, might be the Deutschmark. I vaguely recall the trade happening about 1992 or 1993. I recall about 1993 the Bank Of England was defending the Pound, attempting to keep the exchange rate...

Study the history of shadowing the activist fund. Can you really make money? I recall studying this approach once and I do not believe I can make money this way. You might have a better activist than those I remember researching. Maybe the approach works for you.
