Pimco's Gross Says Treasuries Good Investments Again (Update1) Listen

 

June 25 (Bloomberg) -- Bill Gross, who runs the world's biggest bond fund at Pacific Investment Management Co., said the rise in debt yields over the past three months has made U.S. Treasuries ``the market where our money is.''

 

Gross on April 1 recommended investors buy ``anything but Treasuries'' on expectations faster economic growth would push yields higher and prices lower for existing debt. Since then, two- year Treasury note yields have surged 1.13 percentage points and 10-year yields have climbed 0.77 percentage point as speculation grew that the Federal Reserve would begin a series of interest- rate increases starting on June 30.

 

``We've come to a point where there is more value in the U.S. market,'' Gross said in an interview at his Newport Beach, California, office. ``It doesn't suggest that the bear market is over, but it does suggest'' investors are paying prices for bonds that reflect ``gradual Fed rate increases, or even more.''

 

Treasuries ``are sort of a safe-haven type of market, and we are relatively neutral there,'' he said. Pimco has almost $400 billion in assets under management and is owned by Allianz AG, Europe's biggest insurer.

Look for more Fed repo blasts the next few days up until June 30 that will keep the bond market and to a lesser exent the stock market supported.

 

Then the bear will return.

 

Good Trading! ;)

Companies to Be Put OnlineBy STEPHEN LABATON

 

Published: June 25, 2004

 

 

WASHINGTON, June 24 - The Securities and Exchange Commission has decided to publish on a Web site the thousands of comment letters that it sends to public companies and mutual funds each year about their annual reports, public offerings and other filings, officials at the agency said on Thursday.

 

The decision will make it easier for investors and rivals of the companies to understand the weaknesses of the disclosures and what financial issues are of concern to regulators.

Democracy Itself is in Grave Danger

 

Our country is based on a constitutional republic, not a democracy. IMO the title exemplifies everything gone wrong. That it was written by a vice president..... :cry:

Well, this morning we will see first hand how powerful the forces aligned against gold really are.

 

Everything points to increasing inflation and a Fed that is cooking the numbers in the direction of minimal if any increase in interest rates.

 

If gold is held back today, it will not be for any technical or market-based reason.
