Looks like John Paulson is here to stay? Or is he? Let's face it, smashing the market for consecutive years is not easy. Few are able to do what he has done. For the past two years, he has really set the world on fire. So far this year, his streak seems to be continuing. He won big by betting against big U.K. banks.
