George Soros has no qualms about dipping his toes into the technology arena, though he has admitted to having some rather non-technical approaches to the markets in the past.
The billionaire investor and founder of Soros Fund Management has spoken and written at length about his philosophy-based theories of fallibility and reflexivity, by which investors' views do not perfectly correspond to the actual state of the market and the financial markets have an active role in affecting future earnings flows and determining prices.
Soros is known for following his impulses as well. He divulged in the 1995 book Soros on Soros that he sometimes relies on "animal instincts" in investing and said that he often used the onset of back pain as a signal that something was wrong with his portfolio, though it didn't tell him what. "That is not the most scientific way to run a portfolio," he said.
Tech is one of the top sectors represented in Soros' most recent public equity portfolio, which according to his most recent 13F filing, corresponding to June 30, is comprised of 173 holdings valued at $4.7 billion.
Here is a look at the five tech stocks Soros has bet the most of as of the end of the second quarter.
