The stock rose after the announcement of record gold production and sales during Q3. Billionaire John Paulson benefited from this increment as he holds 1.5 million ANV shares, representing 0.07% of his portfolio.

Today’s biggest loser is Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (NYSE:CTB), which manufactures and markets replacement tires worldwide. The stock dipped -12.84% to $25.72 following a report that an anticipated offer from Apollo Tyres Ltd was about to collapse due to a labor dispute in the U.S. and China. This affected the portfolio of John Paulson, who holds five million shares (1.17% of his holdings). Another billionaire with a position in CTB is Thomas Steyer, who bought 810,000 shares (0.52% of his fund) at an average price of $28.95 last quarter.

This is bad news for Julian Robertson, who bought 702,000 shares (2.47% of his fund) at an average price of $32.4 last quarter. Carl Icahn has NAV stakes as well and has been increasing his position in recent years. In September 2011, he held 1.7 million shares, and now, he owns 13.3 million, representing 1.76% of his fund.
