Paulson Could Win Big on Gold: Report

by Paula Schaap ,Senior Reporter , September 24, 2010

Hedge fund manager John Paulson reportedly could be going all out on gold in an attempt to make a killing if the precious metal continues its climb.

Paulson’s $600 million gold fund is up 15% through August, according to a Forbes report.

Besides gold ETFs, Paulson’s fund is invested in gold mining companies, a fairly typical play by hedge fund managers.

George Soros and David Einhorn have also invested in ETFs and miners, using their bets as a hedge against inflation.

Recently, however, Soros said he thought gold could be the “ultimate bubble.”

Gold closed at $1,294.50 per troy ounce Thursday, an all-time high.
