PIMCO Denies Unfounded Rumors It Is Buying Bonds
Just to set the record straight following various spurious and less than credible reports floated in the peripheral media this morning, El-Erian sets the record straight on a Bloomberg radio interview.
- Pimco's El-Erian says Pimco not buying US treasuries
So simple a caveman can understand it.

So what or who pinned the 10 year yesterday?
Fed accumulating TYZ1 long strangles. Pimco on the other side. Head on collision imminent.
Apparently pinning 10yr eur cds not quite as easy
Where does the FED invest its pension money? Do they care about it?
The Cayman Islands.
Enslavement.
If you mean moral issues, no.
awwww. don't tell me you are still non-claimed.
I knew it was a lie when I heard it. But that's how our gov't moves the markets these days.... through rumors, innuendo, and propaganda.
OT: here is a comment from the message boards on a yahoo oil pump (and now force dump) article ---
Like Oil Everything Must Peak --- Obama Peaked in Early 2009...
Hope and Change ...... in 2008
... Worthless in 2011
the federal reserve is now the world's biggest hedge fund.
Thats what has got me worried! WHAT THE HELL happended to the 10s5s? Taken out and shot and all of a sudden TIMMY TURBO GEITHNER says the US is RISK FREE?!?!?!
Agree PIMCO is on the other side, but wouldn't the Fed be SHORT TYZ1 strangles?
there was an "atmosphere of an assassin" being present going into this S&P "warning." "We were warned" were we not...on this site no less!...that "Goldman Sachs is coming for us." A compliment indeed, yes, yes? So far I'm unimpressed if this was some sort of "entry point" to "get in the game" as Cramer says. It is interesting to "think of this as an entry point for PIMCo" but "you don't just move a trillion dollar FIXED INCOME portfolio" based upon "Standard and Poors." No...S&P's "warning" reeks of at a minimum incompetent timing (hello! there goes your debt ceiling morons!) or just plain "info" incomptence as "it is not news that projections of economic growth are being revised downward." What would be news is "equity markets reject said news and push higher" as "the Janus coined rally" remains intact.
Who started the rumor? That's the question.
Ask CNBS for their source....they discussed this today.
Geithner.
I cannot stand listening to Geitner or most news ppl for that matter. I watched him on Meet the Press and the garbage coming out of his mouth made me want to jump through the TV and kick him in the nuts! I'm not sure anymore if they actually believe the shit coming out of their mouths or if they know its all bullshit.
Geithner, Obama... There is a pattern here. Weak, gullible meat puppets that can be told to do whatever the guys in the shadows want.
Go with "they know its all bullshit". They're not stupid. They just think most of us are. When someone is lying to you and you know they know they're lying it's time to protect your wallet.
The thing is most people are to stupid or ignorant to know its all BS... People think times are tough now... At least in the depression they still knew how to survive with nothing. Without a McDonald's to pull up to what are people going to do? Or better yet no government check in the mailbox every month? Poor little fellas...
Can people lie to you and not know that they are lying? Doesn't that just make them stupid or ignorant? Just a comment from the Dept. of Redundancy Dept.
Maybe... It starts off as a lie but they say it so many times and are always in "character" that they start to believe the crap coming out of their mouths. I've had a few friends like that... it's weird.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master that’s all.”
Going to zero on UST was a clever hoax from the outset.
But wait, doesn't the official denial constitute absolute certainty...? ;-)
Exactly.
Since I am a caveman I can understand it :)
I also want to dismiss the idea we all came from Africa. That's just impossible since I know my family is even too lazy to walk to the door let alone all the way from Africa ;)
Our family are all caveman Neanderthalers with little brains and big noses but with good appetite. :)
I'd like to see you go head to head with Geithner, but I know they won't let you.
As of right now, bonds remain in a 35-year bull market.
And that bull market is likely to continue unless stocks take off from here and make new highs.
As long as we remain in a trading range, there will always be a maniacal bid to get into Tresuries at the slightest whiff of a possible 15% correction in the SPY.
Must agree with my bro' Robot on this one.
A 35-year bull market in bonds/stocks/real estate is normal and set to last, but it would be a bubble for precious metals and canned ham.
Why? Because this is the rules of the game. Lunatic goldbugs need to deal with it: the Pigmen will always bend the rules and print infinite fiat to maintain the "status quo"
bernanke is playing king canuut. gonna get fucked up by a tsunami of reality. you can't eat a 10-year. nor an ipad. you can't print your way to economic prosperity. that will be the key lesson of the post-1971 world, surely to be forgotten when the new chinese empire (who started this fiat game a millennium ago) print their prosperity away in 100 years just the way we are doing now.
we havn't had a bubble in gold for some time now. canned ham even longer. interestingly "gold is mugging real estate." did someone claim gold is money 'round these parts because no matter how often i'm told by government officials "i sure don't believe debt is money."
Seriously, stick to just being a dipshit because you know NOTHING about the bond market.
Fucktard.
Hey Mommy, did the Thom(p)son twins get their diapers on right ? They are gonna need them soon.
Funny, that is the first thing it has written that actually made sense.
"As long as we remain in a trading range, there will always be a maniacal bid to get into Tresuries at the slightest whiff of a possible 15% correction in the SPY."
Plus, as long as they maintain at least an investment grade, many of the "Stable Value" funds can find little else to buy and still meet their stated aversion to risk, offering small (yet predictable) returns, while preserving the clients principal. GIC and Synthetic GIC have only so much volume......
Housing was in a bull market too.
And what about: FRAUD: Federal Reserve Is Selling Put Options On Treasury Bonds To Drive Down Yields http://youtu.be/ZnZnkaq8Nf8 Doubling Down To (DXY) Zero: Has The Fed, In Its Stealthy Synthetic Bet To Keep Long-Term Yields Low, Become The Next AIG? http://www.zerohedge.com/article/did-fed-its-stealthy-synthetic-bet-keep-yields-low-become-next-aigThanks for posting that, I was telling friends about it but couldn' t find it. Now I know why. I was able to send them the video link. Worth watching...
OH I see....Robo is suddenly a bond hoarder! Oh sure.
Hey Robo where'd you get the new pic of tangerine tits there, and what happened to catfishmouth? She was far better.
you forgot to add "ARF! ARF!"
ZH..He's been doing a great job..
in other words... CNBC.
PIMPCO probably started it themselves -- oh wait, nevermind ya it was Liesman
There has been a bear mkt in bonds for the last 10 Yrs in terms of purchasing power via the declining Dollar. You lost if you wern't in precious metals, it's as easy as that.
Take a look inside any of your local small-med size Banks for activity, they are museums due to ZIRP.
Nice touch TD, that made me laugh.
This casino is so broken I have no interest in it outside of miners, gold, silver. Gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. Long way to go. And I just buy more physical on dumps. Been a while for that. But, it will occur.
All I have to say is that the last decade has been a wild one.
I'm more cynical and much wiser for everything I've watched.
But the last two years and the last 6 months, especially,....well.....adjectives are hard to find to fully impart the meaning I would need to convey regarding my thoughts.
Madoff was absolutely correct when he stated that the economy right now - and the ways by which The Bernank & the government are propping it up - are the biggest Ponzi Scheme the world has ever known.
Anyone know where the little guys like us can buy Greek bonds? I might just throw a few duckies at some, if I can find out where you can get them. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

Truth and reconciliation,
Truth is the truth if you believe it's true.
I kind a like lynching in the town square

Hey Velo
BLS redefined burger preparation as a manufacturing job, not a service job.
Bring more manufacturing back to the US.

Mcd's University Graduate.
Charles Hugh Smith would say that PIMCO is lying, and that Geithner (if he's the leak) is telling the truth.
Someone tell me why CHS is allowed to post here, again?
All right, all right: "you want to believe. you REALLY want to believe." So here's the question then: "if Bill Gross himself were given the heads up--having been OPENLY negative on Treasuries for MONTHS now" what would he say? Would he say "heh, heh, heh--now I will BUY Treasuries!" Or would he just say "thanks!" and spend that extra 25 grand on the "beautiful limestone chimney" his wife has been pestering him about?
nope. They are buying longer duration MBS again -technically not treasuries.
