We can see that while Soros talks bad about gold, he certainly thinks it is a good investment as it is his top holding. Obviosuly he thinks the gold bull market has more room to run despite what the bubble callers are saying. One of the more bizarre holdings is Interoil, which has to be one of the more controversial stocks. The pumpers say it is sitting on a goldmine of natural gas and the bears say it is nothing more than a fraud. It seems Soros believes in the company's prospects despite the criticism.
Overall, it looks like Soros likes commodities and energy stocks, along with select tech stocks.
