Stanley Druckenmiller Career

Stanley began his financial career in 1977 as a management trainee at Pittsburgh National Bank. He became head of the bank’s equity research group after one year. In 1981, he founded his own firm, Duquesne Capital Management. In 1985, he became a consultant to Dreyfus, splitting his time between Pittsburgh and New York. In 1988, he was hired by George Soros to replace Victor Niederhoffer at Quantum Fund.

He left Soros in 2000 after taking large losses in technology stocks. Since then, he has concentrated full-time on Duquesne Capital. He is profiled in the book The New Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager. Druckenmiller is a top-down investor who adopts a similar trading style as George Soros by holding a group of stocks long, a group of stocks short, and using leverage to trade futures and currency. He currently holds large positions in Microsoft, Abbott Laboratories, Salesforce.com, Delta Airlines, and American Airlines.

Stanley Druckenmiller Books

Stan may be the greatest moneymaking machine in history. He has Jim Roger’s analytical ability, George Soros’s trading ability, and the stomach of a riverboat gambler when it comes to placing his bets. His lack of volatility is unbelievable. I think he’s had something like five down quarters in 25 years and never a down year. The Quantum record from 1989 to 2000 is really his. The assets grew from $1 billion to $20 billion over that time and the performance never suffered.

Soros’s record was made on a smaller amount of money at a time when there were fewer hedge funds to compete against. What is most interesting to me about the breaking of the pound was the combination of Stan Druckenmiller’s gamesmanship Stan really understands risk and reward and George’s ability to size trades. Make no mistake about it, shorting the pound was Stan Druckenmiller’s idea. Soros’s contribution pushed him to take a gigantic position.

“Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket very carefully”

“The mistake I’d say 98 percent of money managers and individuals make is they feel like they’ve got to be playing with a bunch of stuff,” Druckenmiller said during his speech “Lost Tree Club” speech.

“If you really see it, put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket very carefully.”

“The only way to make long-term returns in our business that are superior is by being a pig”

“The first thing I heard when I got in the business, not from my mentor, was bulls make money, bears make money, and pigs get slaughtered,” he said during his “Lost Tree Club” speech. “I’m here to tell you I was a pig. And strongly believe the only way to make long-term returns in our business that are superior is by being a pig. I think diversification and all the stuff they’re teaching at business school today is probably the most misguided concept everywhere.”

The American investor, hedge fund manager and philanthropist has three beautiful daughters namely: Sarah Druckenmiller, Tess Druckenmiller and Hannah Druckenmiller. Dr. Sarah Bolton Druckenmiller and Maximilian August Cascante were married June 23 at the bride’s family home in Southampton, N.Y. Fiona K.

Stanley Druckenmiller House

Billionaire trader Stanley Druckenmiller, formerly a top investment strategist to George Soros, has sold his palatial Greenwich, Connecticut, estate for $25 million, according to the Real Deal. That price is a mere $2 million above the price he paid for it in 2004. It’s just the third Greenwich sale above $20 million this year, listing agent Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty told the magazine.

The estate has 12,238 square feet of living space and eight bedrooms in total. It sits on nearly 20 acres and is technically three lots combined into one. Druckenmiller and his wife sold the home because they don’t get enough use out of it, McElwreath said. Druckenmiller is the former president of Duquesne Capital Management, which he founded before joining Soros Fund Management.

What didn’t get as much coverage, though, is how, as stocks were falling, the spot price of gold soared by nearly $70 an ounce, topping out at $1,336.70.
