Gold Finds A Way To Kick John Paulson When He’s Down

By

Really? He really needs this shit right now, after the fake trees incident?

Even one of Paulson’s recent bright spots – gold – has been stumbling lately. Paulson has profited with a big wager on gold, and through April his gold hedge fund was up 7.7% on the year, according to an investor. Paulson has told investors that he’s put a big chunk of his own money in the gold fund, as well as in various gold classes of his existing funds. But the gold fund tripped up in May, according to one investor, closing the month up less than 2% for the year. And so far this month, some of the firm’s large investments in stocks of gold miners, including AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. and Gold Fields, are struggling.

    So if each picture is taken after he consumes a glass of wine, then the fourth picture would show him excuting a trade.

    I didn’t think that huge block of “outs” I bought on GLD would single handedly move the gold market.
