Gross is cool. You guys are too tough on him.

Why is Abbey Cohen even taken seriously anymore? How many of these people were right during this downturn? How about a panel of Mish, Gen (Karl), Jim DePorre, Mr Mortgage, etc? Bet you they have a much better track record. 2009-01-11 11:08:50

You may hate him, but when he speaks, you should listen carefully. Yes, he talks his book, but he also has inside info as an advisor to the Treasury and Fed. He has already moved out of an over-concentration in Treasuries. It would be wise to listen since he is always a few steps ahead of retail investors as are any institutional investors. Same with Buffett.

Buffet bought all those munis, how'd that work out for him?

These crusty old ****s are delusional, I have made a LOT of money trading against their positions...They know nothing more than a bull run of 25 plus yrs. Okay, sure they do have friends in high places but ANYTHING they say is a contrarian signal to me...EX: I shorted GE right after that asshat Buffet went in to it balls deep for the simple reason he was in it. I did the same with GS also....I silently thank him everyday. NEWS FLASH...the great bull run is over and these *******s have simply lived to long and are LOST Go ahead Sandra, bet with them....good luck with that..I think some people are "star struck"...these clowns are NOT "stars" ---------- Cause GS got all the beef.....Mliu Last modified:

If you're the one helping to call the shots, it doesn't mean you are smart. It just means you are rich and powerful. We'll see what happens to PIMP-CO when the dollar crashes.

So, you guys are buying Treasuries now, then? Are you being contrarian just to be contrarian or because you really feel there is value in US Treasuries right now? Hey, it's your money, do whatever you want. I think they're worth a listen, but you have to do your own due diligence on any trade and not follow blindly. I made a lot of money dumping my Tsys at the end of the year and moving into beaten down munis and mortgages. Those 10-25% rallies are nothing to turn your nose up at. All I'm saying is don't let your hatred/disdain for someone cloud your analytical thinking. These people didn't get where they are today because they are stupid. Institutional investor have far more information than retial investors. 2009-01-11 11:59:03

I agree with you Sandra. I try to read as many viewpoints as possible to stay balanced. Its way too easy to get trapped with tunnel vision and lose site of the big picture. Stay balanced and keep an open mind. 2009-01-11 12:13:40

I have to disagree there Sandra....they are stupid mostly and old...This is a fast game and they aren't motivated by the same things they were when they were good investors, let alone mentally agile enough anymore....and yes they do have more info but its based on flawed data IMO....they're surrounded by yes men and look for and deal in political favor for returns...they've gone from "investors" to "power brokers" ...that is the typical permutation of success.... Dont forget, neither of these clowns "Saw this coming"....nuff said right there ---------- Cause GS got all the beef.....Mliu Last modified:

Did I miss something? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/data?pid=a....

Barrons Rountable is a joke. I dont think Gross is privy to much inside info. The biggest move ever in long bonds in nov-dec and he didnt get much of that. Another fan fav is Jim Rogers. He has been touting china, short usd and long commodities for a while. I wonder how that worked out over the last 1-2 years. I think the traders with the best record are the ones you never hear of and are never quoted in press. Ever hear much about John Arnold who is probably the best energy trader in the world. The more T Boone was on cnbc yapping the more his fund was getting decimated. 2009-01-11 13:31:00

I, for one, am fully capable of hating Gross while I calmly analyze the markets for my potential trades.

Quote:I dont think Gross is privy to much inside info. Dude, wake up. PIMPCO hired Greendick for a reason. And Bear, Buffett has been around for just a wee bit longer than the last 25 years. He made money hand over fist in some of the toughest markets ever in the 70's. Sure, it was a fine move to short the common of GE or GS on the Buffett pop but ole uncle Warren let them have his money on slightly more punitive terms than some sucker buying GE or GS common on the news. If a total meltdown is avoided he will make a ton of money on those deals, no matter what the common share price does. ---------- "Our society gives its economy priority over health, love, truth, beauty, sex and salvation; over life itself.
