If We Were Friends With John Paulson, Part III

John Paulson: So, what did you do today, Daily Intel?
Daily Intel: Not much. Wrote some stuff on the Internet about stuff. Oh! I remembered to bring lunch to work today. I've been trying to do that, you know, to be frugal, because of The Economy. But usually if I remember to make it, I then forget it in the refrigerator when I leave for work. Anyway. Yourself?
John Paulson: Well, I started a new private-equity fund in order to invest in the residential and the commercial property sectors, which I expect will soon see some recovery. And then I bought a ton more gold in case I am wrong about that. So, basically, if the economy goes down in flames, I'll be rich either way.
Daily Intel: Have you ever thought about adopting a child? Like, an adult one?
