Reuters reported that hedge fund manager John Paulson maintained a hefty stake in gold in his portfolio, throughout 2012, a nod to the enduring value of the investment in the face of U.S. economic uncertainty.
As quoted in the market report:
Analysts read the third-quarter filing by Paulson as a sign that the manager, who found fame and fortune on a bet against the U.S. housing market in 2007 and also a well-known gold bull, has not lost his faith in the precious metal as a long hedge against inflation.
