Some of the old ones here will understand the title line from the old days of Saturday Night Live.

Couldn't agree more, that Mr. Bill did make a mistaken call.

    Uh-oh, Barron's beats the drum for DoubleLine some more - at this rate, Dltnx and Dlfnx will be in bloat territory too pretty soon.

    The issue that I continue to have is that at some point if Bill Gross sees a very large shift in the bond market, he can't make the switch overnight given the size of assets under management; he's going to have to be wrong for a period while making the shift. This may not be that period, but I do believe that that will have to occur at some point and additionally, I don't believe Gross (in a "do as I say, not as I do" manner)
  • Yep, Bill made a "mistake." Wanta buy a bridge anyone?
  • Another article with a video.
