John Paulson: Buy a home and gold is going to $2,400

Speaking to the University Club in New York, he said, first, that gold could go to $2,400 an ounce based on the fundamentals–and that momentum could carry it to $4,000 an ounce. Right now it's around $1,300. Second, he said you should get out of bonds while you can: You're much better off investing in blue chip stocks with good dividend yields than bonds.

And third, he said you should buy a home. Now.

"If you don't own a home, buy one," he reportedly said. "If you own one home, buy another one, and if you own two homes buy a third and lend your relatives the money to buy a home."
