Describing the month as "bloody", Odey told clients his portfolio bet that a weakening Chinese economy would impact the global economy had been "attacked on all sides", and as a result he had lost money on his foreign exchange bets, oil and short positions in emerging markets….
"Nobody likes being wrong. Nobody likes looking foolish. Nobody likes losing money," Odey told clients in the letter.
