What is the best stock market trade that has ever been placed, and how much did that investor/trader gain?
I am just curious for any information you may have on some of the best stock market trades ever placed that have made investors/traders an incredible amount of instant immense wealth, and in what timescale they did it in, also how they did it? All answers would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

- that is almost impossible to find out unless someone releases that info. There was someone who made 2.5bill in 2008 from shorting the financial market, though.
- Probably George Soros shorting the British Pound, and gaining about $1 billion. He almost broke he Bank of London. They came to him on their knees, begging him not to short any more Pound Sterling. But it was a series of shorts, not just one trade. Read the book by one of the most famous traders in history, another famous short seller; Jesse Livermore, written under a pen name.

- hi there !! I dont think so that there would be best stock market trade because traders/investors are never satisfied with their trades...even if they win the best trades ...they will think that there is something more best trades in near future and thus loose money or make trades untill they get satisfied. but the fact is no trader will be satisfied as long as he trades. Its like a never-ending greed in trades. you will not be happy until you quit trading and this makes trading more interesting lol.. well happy trading and happy christmas and new year
