Hedge Funder John Paulson Says He'll Exit the Market if Kamala Harris Becomes President – Should Investors Be Worried?

by La Toya Scott

"I'd go into cash and I'd go into gold because I think the uncertainty regarding the plans they outlined would create a lot of turbulence in the markets and likely lower them."

His concerns stem from Harris's proposed policies, which include more government spending and what some critics call “centralized price controls.”

Harris’s plans could cost $1.7 trillion. Paulson worries that such policies could disrupt the economic machinery.

"It depends very much on who is in the White House and who controls Congress," Paulson warned. "If they go through with a 25% tax on unrealized gains, it would lead to massive selling across the board – stocks, bonds, real estate, art. It would trigger a market crash, and we'd look at a recession almost overnight."
