BOSTON (Reuters) -
Even as gold was approaching record highs during the third quarter, more of the best-known hedge fund managers were placing bets on the precious metal.
Former Goldman Sachs trader Chris Shumway's fund added 2.1 million shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD.P: Quote) and Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC bought 115,000 shares during the third quarter, according to securities filings on Monday. Highfields Capital added call options on 1.6 million shares of the gold ETF and calls on 200,000 shares of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX.P: Quote)
For thousands of years Precious Metals (PM) such as Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) have been utilized as real money for exchange, wealth store, and metric of value. While I am NOT an advocate of one single commodity backing our money (like a gold standard), I do believe that the price trend of PMs are the most important indicators of the value of fiat money, plus the crimes of corrupt banking corporations and governments that manipulate PM prices. The "Canary in the coal mine" is Gold - AuCanary.
