Gross was right: The bond bubble will burst
Commentary: Bonds to fall, though maybe not in short term |
MarketWatch - Oct. 18, 2011 - By Peter Brimelow, MarketWatch , Edwin S. Rubenstein
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Bonds have been showing unexpected strength in the last month.
Which must have been particularly annoying to the celebrated Bill Gross of Pimco Total Return Fund, who was recently forced to abandon a major bearish play at some cost. ( See “Pimco & Bill Gross apologize for poor performance,” by Kurt Brouwer, Oct. 14.)
It was pretty annoying to us too. We’ve been saying for some time that the total cumulative real return of bonds has mounted into uncharted territory, way above the long-run trend. Unless a hundred years of financial history are meaningless, bonds must go down — and yields, and interest rates, up.
It’s just a question of when.
But, unlike Gross, we can take the long view. (In return, we’re paid somewhat less.)
As usual, our conclusion, although our own, is based on our interpretation of research by Jeremy Siegel of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, obtainable from his website . Siegel also is the author of the classic book “Stocks For the Long Run.”
