Widely followed investor John Paulson just revealed an interesting and perhaps meaninful position in one of the nation's largest banks. In fact, traders are buzzing about the latest 13F filing from this Wall Street Whale.
That's because it shows Paulson held 300 million shares of Citigroup [C Loading... ()] valued at $1.45 billion on September 30th.
Why is that a big deal?
Because big investors who are long Citi may be betting that the economy is getting better and that we have something more than a jobless recovery, speculates CNBC's Charlie Gasparino.
That’s because when unemployment goes beyond 10.5%, consumer loans start to decline at such a rapid pace those losses overwhelm most any other positive catalyst -- and investors turn bearish on the stock.
So this Citi position may suggest that one of the smartest guys out there – John Paulson – believes that unemployment won’t go much higher.
If you expect a V-shaped recovery, then Citi is a buy, Gasparino concludes.
What do you think about Charlie Gasparino's theory? We want to know!
