This was an honest reporter mistake that we've seen earlier
this week. Pimpo ain't saying US will lose it's credit
rating; Pimpo is pimping the Fed for more QE cause they
are down BIG on their pimping portfolio. Now it all fits. <G>

This is borrowed from Doug Noland's latest CBB:

Bloomberg (Dakin Campbell and Mark Crumpton): “Bill Gross,
the co-chief investment officer of Pimco… said the
U.S. ‘eventually’ will lose its AAA rating, but not any time
soon. Both the U.K. and the U.S. have prospective deficits of
10% annually as far as the eye can see… At some point over the
next several years’ the debt of each ‘may approach 100% of
GDP, which is a level at which country downgrades tend to
occur,’ he said… Gross’s comments today come two months after
he said the U.S. government will need to spend as much as $4
trillion in additional capital to cushion a slowing economy.
The Federal Reserve said March 19 that it would purchase $1.8
trillion in Treasuries and housing-related debt to lower
borrowing costs. ‘We need more than that,’ Gross said at the
time. The Fed’s balance sheet ‘will probably have to grow to
about $5 trillion or $6 trillion,’ he said.”
