I pulled all my clients out of Crosses fund when he got kicked out of the club.  All the other advisors I know are following suit now.

It's Hot Toddies.  But I kinda like your spelling better.  Who would ever turn down an offer of Hot Totties?  Like hot titties with a little bit of an English accent.

A "mile high welcome", does that mean they tag teamed him on the plane ride back to HQ?

Pimco's Total Return Fund was sucking wind well belfore Gross made that stupid move on Treasuries a few years back.  He's been so-so at best even factoring that big mistake out.

Haven't touched a Pimco fund since then.  Asset bloat was the #1 concern at first.  Then #1 became Gross' behavior.  Just too errattic for a guy who's supposed to be watching over a trillion dollars of other people's money.

Now that he's gone I'm actually more inclined to give them a second look.  But they need to get their expense ratios down or do something that makes it look like they give a shit about their investors again.  Making some decent returns would be a good start.

Golden rule taught to every jr.Analyst by one well known Chairman:

The loudest in the room is the weakest, or least confident. Assume he will tap out first. Make sure he does, this is a Marathon.

Bill has about 4 months to clock out a hard return, not exactly a great runway.

Janus on the other hand never recovered from the dot com scandals, and true to form they are well known for being one of the last guys into anything on the street.

In short (sic) Bill has his work cut out, building up a respectable brand (again) and doing it against the grain of market bond flows & street perceptions. This is not 1970, which makes having an investment "guru" a tougher sell these days.

On a plus note, Janus has allegedly no internal controls on posting at ZH. So maybe the old comment crew will start to roll back out of Bridgewater & the ilk should insight per post uptick.

Janus....the Roman of god of transitions.....the god of gates.

These Masters of the Universe are indeed the gatekeeper. 

Funny though.....Janus is a two-faced god.   Kind of like Goldman Sachs.  They tell the muppets one thing.....and then do just the opposite.

Gross is worth $2 billion, his crystal ball has spidery cracks in it and Gross is spiraling down toward senility and insanity.  He should have retired from PIMCO, he has lost his touch.  Once Janus finds out in six months that the acounts that followed Gross to Janus are leaving, expect Gross to get the heave-ho.  Assuming Gross does not poison the waters sooner by engaging in scream-outs with the Janus support staff.

I rarely comment on here, but if i had followed all the negativity spewed on this site every day, i would have lost tons of money in the market over the past few years. Facts are facts. "applicable"...

 

The Obama comment was kind of an aside, but rest assured something else is bound to be his fault..

Whether he's lost it or not, he must  be so pleased to be able to sit himself down in his trading office for 6-10  hours everyday with just the markets to work out. Mo bullshit metings, no crappy interviews, no one bothering him etc.

Folks, it  can't be done any other way, if you want the chance to earn superior results you have to put the screen time in with (almost) zero distractions.

Well, Gross is going to attract some serious money to this fund. No more shackles I guess as this fund is small and he can do as he wants! Also, he can sleep I guess without the US Treasury blackmailing him. hahaha.
