Could it be that he has shorted his position and is trying to protect the investment?
<< <i>Mr. Bill Gross has an agenda to promote. He is all business and his speeches are meant to influence the value of PIMCO. He is quite good at it.

Or could it be that he is explaining why he dumped the bonds? His agenda is to make money, I'm sure he feels dumping US Treasuries is a good way to accomplish that.

we already knew that for the most part
But the US has a much larger economy, the world's reserve currency, the largest financial markets, the world's largest banks, the most gold, some of the largest natural resources known, and the world's largest military. Greece is about the size of Alabama and has about 1/40th the economic size. We also have $300 TRILL in otc derivative bets that Greece doesn't have.
We also have a financial/economic system that the world is still addicted to. We can also print our own money without the world knowing about it right away. Sounds like the balance tips in our favor for now.

We also have the worlds most staggering and unprecedented debt level, which tells me we're in a free fall. It's the elephant in the room no one will talk about.
Obviously the markets are saying Germany is in the same shape as the US.
