wolide

For those of you who have not heard of investor and hedge fund manager John Paulson, he is a man that forecast the sub-prime mortgage crises and made large, bearish bets on the housing market.

Are Stocks Getting Ready To Sell-off?

Itll Keep Going

We have been discussing the five year old rally in stocks for a while now, and the rally is beginning to look a little tired.
