Bill Gross Dumps All Treasuries

债券大王Bill Gross旗下的Total Return
Fund旗舰基金把所有美国国债清仓,转而持现金。消息还没有正式披露,但真实性不应有怀疑。这似乎说明同美联储以及美国财政部关系密切的Bill
Gross深信美联储不会有QE3了。这也符合之前我做的分析。简而言之,很可能今年6月或者稍微之后会是全球资本市场的一个转折点。由于时间关系,周末再具体多说一些。
Exclusive: Bill Gross Dumps All Treasuries, Brings Total "Government Related" Holdings To Zero, Flees To Cash
And many thought Bill Gross was only
posturing when he said he is getting the hell out of dodge.
Based on still to be publicly reported data by Pimco's
flagship Total Return Fund, the world's largest bond fund, in the
month of January, has taken its bond holdings to zero (and
-14% on a Duration Weighted Exposure basis). The offset, not
surprisingly, is cash. After sporting $28.6 billion in "government
related" securities, TRF dropped to $0.0, while its cash holdings
surged from $11.9 billion to a whopping $54.5 billion (based on
total TRF holdings of $236.9 billion as of February 28).
This is the most cash the flagship fund has ever held, and
the lowest amount in Treasury holdings since January 2009 before it
was made clear that the Fed was going to adjust QE1 to include
Treasurys in addition to Mortgage Backed Securities.
PIMCO's Treasury holdings peaked in June 2010 at $147.4 billion and
have declined consistently ever since. And while we expected that
the spike in MBS holdings (at times on margin) was indicative of an
expectation that QE3 would monetize mortgage backed securities, the
ongoing decline in that asset class now leads us to believe that
Bill Gross is now convinced there will be no QE3 at all, at least
based on his just putting his money where his monthly pen is! And
if Bill Gross, the most connected person to the upcoming actions by
the Fed, believes there is no more quantitative easing, it is
really time to get the hell out of dodge in all security classes -
bonds, and most certainly, equities.
Note the plunge in Treasury holdings in the
chart below (blue line), offset by the surge in cash (dotted pink
line). Time to panic.
