MW Druckenmiller poured into regional banks in the third quarter

By Steve Goldstein

Stanley Druckenmiller made a big bet on regional banks in the third quarter, that's likely paid off after a Republican sweep in the elections.

The top new holding of his Duquesne Family Office was the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF KRE, and now represents the seventh highest position in the portfolio, according to the 13-F filing filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Since then, the ETF has jumped 16% on hopes for deregulation and a steeper yield curve.

Investors won't know until the fourth-quarter filing comes out as to whether Druckenmiller retained the position or not.

Druckenmiller, formerly George Soros's right-hand man, is known for a series of prescient calls, though in a recent interview he regretted selling out of Nvidia too early.
