“Ron Paul loves gold, which probably won’t come as that much of a surprise to the retired Texas congressman’s acolytes. But how much the firebrand populist and former presidential candidate embraces the yellow metal could strike some as a bit…extreme.

The other 1 percent? An allocation to stocks, but on the short side in a bet against the equity markets.”
