What will be the market impact? I could be that we have a genuine downside catalyst here. I will certainly look for a short position with a close stop loss in the S&P 500.

The trade idea would be to be on the other sides of Paulson & Co. trades. Most notable candidates which come to my mind would be short gold, short AngloGold Ashanti (AU), short NovaGold Resources (NG), short Kinross Gold (KGC).
