Bond King Bill Gross sees Bond Bubble


PIMCO's Bill Gross, in spite of having made a name for himself in bond trading, bet huge against US Treasuries in 2011. Unfortunately for him, Treasury yields managed to remain low and overall demand remained high, on account of massive bond buying by the US Federal Reserve. Nowadays, Gross is still of the same mind, but with the added knowledge that the Fed is going to continue doing what it's doing. The bond bubble will go on in 2013.

It is considering a cut in its interest rate for next year, which goes to show that absolutely nothing has been learned since Greece started falling apart several years back.

Higher food prices here to stay

This to me indicates just how far ahead we are in understanding the link between bubble monetary policies, and higher prices.
