Billionaire John Paulson Betting Big On Gold - Mike Swanson (11/19/09)

Submitted by Mike Swanson on Thu, 2009-11-19 07:46.

Billionaire John Paulson is now making big bets on gold.

Paulson became famous for last year for making over $2 billion dollars betting against US real estate and foreseeing the financial banking collapse.

Paulson is now launching a gold hedge fund that will buy gold shares and various investments related to gold.

Paulson is worth $6 billion and is among the largest and most famous hedge fund managers in the world.

He already has bought big sticks in mining companies Kinross and Anglogold.

Gold is now over $1,100 a price. Just a few months ago it was under $1,000 and some people were getting a lot of press for predicting a collapse in gold prices and a resumption of the bear market in US stocks.

They have been proven wrong. Just the other day gold made a new high and so did the DOW.

Successful investing means keeping yourself on the right side of the market and knowing what to focus on to do that. You don't do that by just listening to every emotional call out there, but paying attention to what really makes you money.

Hello. My name is Mike Swanson. I’m the best-selling author of the book Strategic Stock Trading. In a former life I used to run a hedge fund from 2003 to 2006 that generated a return of over 78% during that time frame. In fact it was ranked in the top 35 out of 5,000 hedge funds in 2005.

After I retired from the hedge fund world I setup this website and blog. If you sign up for my free weekly email list below I’ll send you an update on average about once a week on my views of the current stock market trends and share with you actionable investment ideas.

Now I cannot promise you that every stock I find will go up in value. I can’t promise you endless 100% returns as others claim they do and as all the disclaimers say past performance does not necessarily predict future performance and you can lose all of your money in the stock market.

This is reality.

What I can promise you is my dedication to doing the best I can for you.

You see the key to making money over the long-run in the stock market is to manage your risk. Once you sign up to my newsletter I’ll send you a series of educational videos and writings showing you how I use stop-loss orders to cut any potential losses and how I use my two fold formula system that combines fundamental and technical analysis to pick stocks. My goal is to risk one dollar to try to make at least three dollars in my trades by looking for stocks that are priced cheaply on a valuation basis, have high earnings growth, and have excellent chart patterns.

So join my list below and let me help guide you on your journey in the stock market.
