Want to Know What Ron Paul’s Investment Portfolio Looks Like? Here’s a Peek

When it comes to investing, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) has made no secret where his preferences lie.
Total Return, The Wall Street Journal’s personal-finance blog, recently reviewed Dr. Ron Paul’s investment portfolio. According to the latest data available from his 2010 Form A financial disclosure statement, Dr. Paul is heavily invested in gold and silver.
The Wall Street Journal explains:
. . . Rep. Paul’s portfolio–fully 64 [percent] of his assets–is entirely in gold and silver mining stocks. He owns no Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), no ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), no Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), no General Electric (NYSE:GE), no Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), not even a diversified mutual fund that holds a broad basket of stocks.
His non-mining portfolio holdings includes 14 percent cash and 21 percent real estate investments, according to the Journal report.
“[Paul] has no love lost for bonds (0 percent of his portfolio) and a dismal outlook on the stock market. Only .1 percent of Representative Paul’s portfolio is allocated to stock funds, and all of those funds are bearish–inversely correlated to the performance of the market,” writes Chris Barth of Forbes.
(Investor Insights: What Are ECB Actions and Utility Stocks Saying About Gold?)
While some may call Dr. Paul’s investment portfolio unorthodox or risky, many call it successful. Due to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, gold and silver have been in a bull market for the past decade, and it seems that Dr. Paul has had the foresight to invest in gold and silver mining stocks early.
“Paul’s portfolio is worth something roughly between $2.5 and $5.5 million, although that number has likely taken a hit as gold and silver prices have declined in recent months,” writes Barth.
And should any of this come as a surprise?
“The libertarian has long rallied for a gold standard, and has vocally worried about the stock market’s reliance on the value of the dollar,” writes Barth.
Recall earlier this year when Paul made headlines by confronting Ben Bernanke at a U.S. House Financial Services Committee Meeting, pushing the Fed Chairman to answer a question as to whether gold is money.
See what happens when Paul asks Bernanke, “When you wake up in the morning, do you care about the price of gold?” (the fun begins at the 3:50 mark):
Dr. Paul’s top three holdings are Goldcorp, Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining. He has owned these gold miners for a long time, before 2003. And despite the fact that these would appear to be sound investments, some analysts still think Paul — for a lack of a better descriptor — is crazy.
William Bernstein, an investment manager at Efficient Portfolio Advisors, says he has never seen such an extreme bet on economic catastrophe, according to the Journal.
“This portfolio is a half-step away from a cellar-full of canned goods and nine-millimeter rounds,” he says.
Still, despite repeated criticisms from market analysts, it seems that the simple fact of the matter is that Paul recognizes the headwinds facing the dollar and puts his money where his mouth is.
Here are the most popular gold and silver miners found in Dr. Paul’s financial disclosure statement:
- Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE:GG)
- Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:ABX)
- Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM)
- Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:AEM)
- AngloGold Ashanti ltd. (NYSE:AU)
- IAMGOLD Corp. (NYSE:IAG)
- Eldorado Gold Corp. (NYSE:EGO)
- Mag Silver Corp. (AMEX:MVG)
- Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ:PAAS)
- Silver Wheaton Corp. (NYSE:SLW)
- Golden Star Resources, Ltd. (AMEX:GSS)
- Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE:KGC)
- Brigus Gold Corp. (AMEX:BRD)
- Coeur d’Alene Mines Corp. (NYSE:CDE)
- Hecla Mining Co. (NYSE:HL)

Pauls nieve views such as the danger from Iran will prevent from ever being the POTUS. When it comes to the U.S., NO ONE comes close to Paul, BUT Pauls in favor in having a weak military while the world is in the process of becoming more dangerous then EVER, and THAT my friends is just plain ludicrous! Just ask the UK, POLAND, FRANCE, NORMANDY, and MOST of Eastern Europe how that worked out for them NOT THAT LONG AGO. Come on people, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 12:16pmSo once again, you boil away all the condescending B.S. and get to basic facts about this article, & one thing becomes entirely clear. Ron Paul does what he says, and says what he does. I agree it is quite un-presidential to practice what you preach.
I haven‘t listened to Glenn’s radio program in a long time, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was favoring 7.62 x 39 mm these days. Personally I won’t allow commie riffles in my home. I understand though why Glenn would attack Dr. Paul for saying the same things he says. When you totally rip off someone else’s platform, you would need to tear that person down, to legitimize yourself as being first.
@Copper,
I like a lot of others who used to have some faith in Beck will not listen to him any longer. Glenn has proven himself a hypocrite. In my humble opinion Glenn has gotten in bed with the military industrial complex. The twice weekly stories on this board about the great new military tech is quite easy to see through. I won’t say Glenn sold out, but I will purpose that Glenn has bought into Corporatism over true capitalism. It is the only reason I can come up with for his, and his companies behaviors. Well good luck with that Glenn, but the true Patriots will see through you.
Give me Liberty, or give me Death.

You sir are repeating the nonsense that permeates the talking points of the neo-con agenda – big military intervention all around the world (global cop) and as a result our freedoms are taken away in this country in the form of patriot act, VIPR, NDAA.
Paul wants us to have a strong military – not a weakened one that trots around the world propping up questionable dictators…for what? Yeah the military industrial complex grows – other people in other countries grow tired of us meddling in their affairs and we as citizens in the country are still less safe here as well as around the world.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 12:45pm…and that is what is most disturbing to me. The ONLY reason Glenn doesn’t support Paul is because of Israel. But, the truth is Paul isn’t going to abandon Israel. When he gets elected he will see that he has no choice but, to support them. See I agree with Glenn on Israel and Iran. I even wear a “I stand with Israel” blue band on my wrist. I personally feel that Ron Paul has the right solution for the middle east. Keep our nose out of their business.. We have tried that babysitting the world. It’s not working. And this is coming from a once HUGE Neocon. I’ve seen the light the last few years thanks to Glenn. But, for some reason he is abandoning what he is preaching. Ron Paul after looking into the man is really the only choice we have. It’s either Newt the Establishment Progressive, Mitt the Progressive Semi-Socialist, or Michelle/Santorum. Neither of those 2 are going to get even close. Time for a gut check. Do we continue this charade with Mitt or Newt or is it time for REAL change. And believe me if I vote for Paul I will hold him accountable to what he says. No time in my life have I been so awake. And will Not allow these guys to lie to me anymore. I hope Glenn during his vacation really reflects and prays on this. The guys that are hating on Paul, I understand where you’re coming from. I was there not 4 months ago. Really reflect on what you are willing to give up to elect a president that is supported by the GOP Elitists.

Dr. Paul is not for having a weak military. I believe the quote is “Billions for defense, Not a single penny for Empire”.
You bring up the UK, Poland, & others, but how well is Europe doing for our interventionism these days? The oldest of adages tells us when you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. But if you teach a man to fish you feed him for life.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 2:40pmWhich I find rather ironic as Glenn is supposed to be such a supporter of the Constitution and a fan of our forefathers who produced it, supports a candidate that isn’t anywhere near the same par constitutionally as Ron Paul. If a person claims to support the constitution, yet in the next breath endorses a candidate that is inferior constitutionally to Ron Paul, how is that conflict or words not going to create a confusion just as to where Glenn stands?

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 3:16pm@ CAPTAIN77 – you point out Glenn‘s indescrepency on this issue and it’s been so VERY obvious to me now as it was back in 2007 when Paul ran for the presidency.
Glenn is so drunk on Israel that it is really affecting his line of thought/reason. On one hand he wants a George Washington/Constitutionist (Ron Paul) but on the other hand he endorses candidates like Bachmann and Santorum who are big govt through militarism – pro patriot act loving …. wait for it….. wait for it…. NEO CONS that it is quite strange!
It’s almost like something is controlling Glenn to pick false candidates that fly in the face of waht Glenn preaches – it’s not that Glenn is dumb – but almost like he might have an agenda!?! I can’t figure it out.
I don‘t know if it’s an Israeli lobby deal that has him all hemmed up or what the deal is but Glenn clearly has not done his homework on Ron and Ron’s foreign policy.
Unless Glenn doesn‘t really believe in everything the constitution advises us and is like Bachmann and Santorum who want military intervention and all the big government programs infringing on our liberties that come from a result of that crooked ’policy’….

Mr. Paul garnered 21 percent of the votes to finish in second place and Mr. Gingrich pulled in 16 percent of the votes to take third place. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney earned first place with 35 percent of the votes.Mr. Paul’s support in New Hampshire has skyrocketed since the American Research Group last conducted a poll in the Granite State. In November, Mr. Paul was 10 percentage points behind Mr. Gingrich with 12 percent of the votes. Mr. Gingrich’s support has fallen 6 percentage points. Mr. Romney’s support has hovered around 30 percent for the last several months.

I’m not even a anti-Paul guy. I would proudly vote Paul over Obama/Newt/Romney.
I just would prefer to vote Bachmann because and only because foreign policy. Paul beats her on everything other issue by a long shot.
Why would he have his journalist slam his own message? Calm down and take you melds. That is one of the reasons he like Bach man and or defended character such as Perry because they also want and said they would shut down the FED.
And yes do understand Paul forign policy. I just don’t agree with it. I do agree with allot of his points like consitual wars and ect. But over all I believe it would serve of best down the road here and for freedom in general.It would be a extremely dangerous move.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 6:20pmEnrico, Iran is not a threat like the establishment would like you to believe. Isreal has one of the strongest military’s in the world. Isreal would be a threat to the U.S. if they were like Iran toward us. Iran cannot even refine their own oil. For Iran to be a nuclear threat, they would have to get the means of this threat from Russia or China. At that point, our beef would not be with Iran per say, but Russia and China. Both have warned us about attacking Iran. It is all about oil and money through continuing wars. We are heading for very hard times, prepare.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 9:48pmit’s funny, if the race gets down to Paul and Romney, these neocons will vote for Romney, even though he has the record of implementing exactly the thing they hate most about Obama and called him a socialist for that reason- individual mandate. They will vote for Romney, who has advocated for socialist policies himself. The real reason they don‘t want to support Paul is because he doesn’t want to blame muslims and is mature enough to say that the USA has a terrible foreign polcy and one of the reasons they hate us is because of our foreign policy.

“Enrico, Iran is not a threat like the establishment would like you to believe.”
I don’t listen to or care about what establishment says. I listen and do my own research. I read what these people actually say and do. Iran and the middle east are not like China or Russia (who are screwing and stealing from us). Sadly Iran and the middle east are not even similar to China or Russia. So they can’t be handled the same way.
It is not Muslims it is Islams. The culture of Islam is at war with freedom. Islam is a religion of slavery, violence and death. When they have mad men saying that if and when they get a nuclear weapon that they use it wipe out a country off the map and use it against our country, we should listen.
Think of Hitler and of the Nazis. Everything was said out in the open and no one listened. They will do what they say when they get the power to do it. It also wasn’t just a evil army with guns but it was a evil culture. From the doctors to the teaching programs . They were indoctrinated in evil and propaganda. Think of book burning.
These are the same things that are going on in the middle east and it also infused with their religion. How you people like Hitler was/are able to rise to have power over nations?
Ron Paul is right on a lot of the specifics(on middle east terrorism) but is wrong on the biggest issues and facts on and in the middle east and Islam

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 9:35amI am encouraged when i see all the comments for and defending Ron Paul, not just on this site but on every site I go to. That includes sites in Canada and the UK. Only Paul has an online presence like this, I never see a reply saying Mitt is better and here is why or Newt, only once in a while an argument is made for Huntsman. Is all this free press hurting Paul? We will see but one thing is does do, is DRIVE me to defend him and promote him. I got to say I have never been involved in politics before but I see a possibilty to help Paul change the world for the better, and it was before my time that there was a person like that around.

Before they were listed they were a great place to shop. I would be asked dozens of times, “Can I help you find anything?” Each department was staffed by knowledgeable people. Mostly retired plumbers, electricians, painters, etc. all working in a corresponding department.
Then they got listed on the NYSE and the professionals were replaced with people that didn’t have a clue about the department they work in. Less people work in the stores and just try to find someone to help you now!
A company listed on the NYSE answers to stock holders. To heck with the employees and customers, its all about making money for the stock holders. Just ask anyone that has managed to keep their job from before Home Depot went public, they’ll tell you it ruined the company.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 9:58amRon Paul has plans to recover one trillion dollars the first year., and to have the budget balanced by the third. This one trillion would be saved by cutting government departments such as “ The Department of Education” this would potentially cut out the Communist Propaganda taught to our youth..Ron Paul wants to cut the Department of Interior which I belive is responsible for managing citizen’s land…like what’s been happening in Minnesota.. he would take out the departmant that has been responsible for getting guns to Hezbollah.and fighting Arizona..Paul would cut Corporate taxes from 35% to 15%..adn he would keep Social Security and Medicare until another plan can be implemented.. So with the government out of the way..and our Constitutional rights restored..we eliminate the Communist twist this country has been endowed with and at the same time..protection from any foreign theocracy from overtaking us..I honestly didn’t see how any of these problems could ever be resolved…and they won’t be unless we get a Constitutionalist for President.. Paul has been there a long time..he knows what is going on..He has even stated that he would be willing to take as salary a mere $38,336 ..and he has always contributed back to the coffer..The current President makes $400,000 a year..Paul is as honest as they come..and he has not bought off by the elitists..

Honest question. Are you crazy? This is not a hit at least bit. Beck on his fox show, radio program and on CATV is always talking about the FED and how is destroying this country. He has stated many time that we need to get rid of it and in a hurry!
Why would he have his journalist slam his own message? Calm down and take you meds. That is one of the reasons he like Bach man and or defended character such as Perry because they also want and said they would shut down the FED.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 8:06amI see it too. Glenn loves Ron Paul….. but as of yet has not fully understood what Ron Paul means by a Constitutionally correct foreign policy. I mentioned this a week or two ago…..that I thought Glenn would have a revelation eventually about what the Constitution advocates as sound foreign policy. IF Glenn is true to what he claims he stands for….everything our founders stood for…..he cannot deny the truth much longer. He needs to understand that Ron Paul is on the side of Israel. That America will be a much better ally if we stop making Israel come to us for our approval whenever she needs to do something. Israel is a sovereign nation and we have no business meddling. IMHO, Israel will take care of her own problems much better than if we try to muddy the water. Would America want another country to tell her what is best for her? No. That knife cuts both ways.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 9:09amThis is how I became a Paulist. Listening to Rush, Sean, and that little mark guy. All saying he was nuts, but never saying why. So I started looking into this Paul Nut Case. The more they talk about him the more people will do their own homework and find out the truth. Glenn knows Bachmann and Santorum are finished. They don’t have a pot to “P” in nor the window to throw it out, between the 2 of them. No Money or People on the ground. He is getting ready to support Paul.

the problem the non ron paul supporters have is not with his domestic economic plan, but his international policies. He says it is “our” fault middle east countries hate the US… and we should not interfer, even if a country like Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon.
So answer the question Spooky, what is YOUR position on 9/11 and who attacked the U.S.? Is it radical islamists conducted the attack, or will you tell us all “the truth shall make you free”?
Don’t even worry about answering that question, Spooky. Your answer will probably just be filled with a bunch of Sal Alinsky (did I get his name right Spooky?) tatics of attacking by calling us all non paul supporters stupid racists, and you will do what you are accusing the rest of us are doing and just talk about twisting, spinning the truth and propaganda.

WE THE PEOPLE were attacked by saudi arabian muslims, these muslims attacked thisccountry becausevof the POLICIES that are crammed down their throat. The U.S gov sends the CIA into these countries to destabalize them and overthrow their authority (Iran,Syria,Iraq etc) The U.S does this for the interest of corporations NOT SPREADING DEMOCRACY. Every one of ghese Countriescarecthan systemstically looted for oil, Gold and other natural resources. The U.S government ( NOT WE THE PEOPLE) accomplishes this by setting up puppet regimes that get to siphon the billions of dollars in foreign aid to keep the corruption going ( karzai, Maleki, etc). All the countries that have nukes are conveniently left alone by the corporate stooges that run this Country. Is it any wonder Iran might want a nuke? LEARN SOME HISTORY, We had over 40,000 nukes ( And still do) pointing at us from Russia, And your worried that Iran MIGHT make 1? Oh, poor you, Your worried about poor Isreal that has over 300 nukes pointing in every direction? That is what you call fearmongering, Fearvis the bestvway to control people ( Ask the armed robber and the raper) When people are in fearvthey do not think rational, but you spooks know this and that is why the big lie on Ron Pauls FP.

Report Post »I can see why you are a Pauly Parrot. Your view of foreign policy is even more disjointed then his. With Russian nukes, it was country against country. With Muslims it is not so much country as it is religion. If history tells us anything (which according to Ron Paul it tells us nothing) it is that crazy things have all been done in the name of religion and in the case of wars, all logic goes out the doors. Those who espouse jihad do not think of themselves as from various countries but rather from Islam. Paul either does not see it or he refuses to admit it and someone like that in control of our nukes is almost as crazy as those who are in control of their own nukes. Iran is not developing nukes to balance the power but to create possible chaos. However, Dr. Paul refuses to pull his head out of a place I will not mention and acknowledge that fact.
