Bill Gross Saying U.S. Should Buy Cheap Assets, Maybe Even PIMCO Bonds
Bill Gross, manager of PIMCO, the largest bond fund in the U.S., issued his February investment outlook today. His main argument is the following "To PIMCO, the remedy for this deflationary deleveraging and mini-depression is simple and almost axiomatic: stop the decline in asset prices." (ed. "mini" depression? Looks like Bill won't go full Rosenberg on this one). Without saying anything new, Gross is advising the Treasury, Central Bank, i.e. the U.S. taxpayers, to buy cheap assets (presumably ones in which Bill is axed himself). Not surprisingly, PIMCO was one of 4 funds picked in December to purchase mortgage-backed securities, and one of the managers selected to run the CP funding facility, and of course, was a top contender to purchase toxic debt under TARP before Hank Paulson scrapped that idea. In the spirit of increasing transparency, it is interesting just how much of these securities Bill has purchased ahead of time for his own book?
