We’re on the way to some banana republic situation. Nobody’s worrying about the debt that’s being created. … We’re pulling it off, because interest rates are zero, but interest rates aren’t going to be zero forever.

Cooperman joins a long list of hedge fund managers and billionaire investors who have turned to gold under trying economic circumstances. He is the highly regarded head of New York City-based Omega Advisors, a family office with $1 billion under management. He says what he fears most is socialism.
