Stan Druckenmiller: The coming US storm

Stan Druckenmiller has a knack for predicting financial crises. So, when the billionaire fund manager senses trouble heading for the US, investors should pay close attention. James McKeigue reports.

One of America's most successful fund managers, Stan Druckenmiller, has broken a vow of media silence to warn of an impending "financial storm". With his track record, he's a man to be taken seriously.

Druckenmiller launched his own hedge fund when he was just 28. It later grew tobe worth $12bn. While running the fund, the industrious Druckenmiller also moonlighted for other firms, and even helped fellow fund manager George Soros execute his legendary $1bn-profit sterling trade against the Bank of England in 1992.
