John Paulson is the fuckin' man. He's my hero in the financial world (don't agree with his political views). This guy made about 15 Billion USD in 2007, 5 Billion more in 2008. He pocketed that money. IN HIS MOFUGGIN POCKET. Soros made ONE Billion betting against the British Pound in 1992 and pretty much broke the bank but Paulson takes the fucking cake!!!

If you guys are interested in finance, even if you're not interested, take a read of the book "The Greatest Trade Ever." It really is the greatest trade ever. He made SO MUCH money those two years it's not even fucking funny.

Anyway, I agree with his moves on commodities as I'm uber-bullish on gold, silver, platinum, pallladium and agriculture. Paulson (and a lot of the other guys who made money betting against housing via CDS's) pretty much bought everything he could that had any resemblance to gold. He has like 80% in gold and if gold passes 2500 (which it definitely will, actually gold should be at 2400 right now but with all the naked shorts put on by JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, etc. gold is seriously supressed at 1400) he will be the richest man in the world.

Here is his latest investment information that was released:

Paulson's biggest moves are below.
Paulson sold:

  • Bank of America ~$600 million (~30 million shares)
  • Citigroup - ~$300 million (60 million shares)
  • JPMorgan - ~$50 million (2 million shares)
  • Wells Fargo - ~$60 million (2 million shares)
  • Capital One - ~$100 million (2 million shares)
Paulson sold completely out of:

  • Exxon - $525 million (9,169,259 shares)
Paulson bought:

  • Anandarko - $765 million (13,400,000 shares)
His gold holdings remain comparable.


I'm not sure what Anandarko is. Never looked it up but apparently it's a fertilizer company. I'm gonna check it out but I don't deal with any US equities at all.

Hope this helps some of you. And definitely check out that book!!!

anandarko is a petroleum company based in alaska... with the republican upsurge it seems like a fair investment...

i seriously doubt that gold is gonna double in the coming months... i'd view that more as a medium to long term holding...

ooo...alright..thanks for the heads up on anandarko, i still haven't checked it out yet to be honest. interesting play tho..he dumped exxon completely and bought up anandarko..


and yeah, i agree. no way gold will double in months. i have a shit ton of gold at the perth mint but i've got that for long term investments, won't be selling till 2018-2020 when the bull cycle runs out. i dont trade gold either, unless i see a huge opportunity like late 2008 or when bernanke is bout to pull the trigger lol


edit: it's anadarko, just did a quick search lol sorry
