Because I think this development is so important, I'm running the Financial Time's article that appeared today. I think that many funds will be copying Paulson on gold -- Russell. Funds run by the company now have more than a tenth of their assets in gold, a person familiar with its investments said.

The fact that the dollar keeps stumbling, and also, more importantly, that there are concerns about the long-term impact of quantitative easing and a general commodities rally, all paint a picture that is pretty supportive of gold prices   -James Steel

The UNC endowment suffered losses totaling $441 million in fiscal year 2009 in what officials described as one of the worst years on record for university endowments. Jon King, president and CEO of UNC Management Co., which oversees the endowment, told trustees earlier this week that a 19.6 percent loss reduced the value of UNC's $2.2 billion endowment to $1.78 billion between July 2008 and July 2009.

It may seem generous or even magnanimous that Anderson firefighters are willing to give up $890,000 in ambulance user fees (the city projects $1.05 million will be collected in 2010) to help balance the city's budget.

Interest earnings are the third largest source of income for the county's all-purpose general fund, and the money is frequently used to bolster other programs that need a cash boost. State auditors could forward information about the county's conduct to the state Attorney General's Office, but have signaled they likely won't do that. Auditor spokeswoman Mindy Chambers has said in the past that the issue is one of accountability, and that the county could open itself up to lawsuits if people are concer

According to tax code, gold, silver and precious metals receive special treatment - the IRS views them as "collectibles" rather than capital assets. They don't qualify for the maximum 15% tax rate on long-term capital gains. Bob Carlson for Barron's reports that gains on the sale of gold and silver investments, including gold- and silver-backed ETFs, and gold bullion and coins (except certain U.S.-issued coins), are taxed at a maximum rate of 28% when such investments have been held for more than a year
