This is a very clear trend. <The portion of PIMCO's $236 billion Total Return Fund held in long-term U.S. government debt, including U.S. Treasuries, declined to "minus 3" percent in March from zero in February and 12 percent in January, according to PIMCO's website (www.pimco.com). "They are one of the largest investors in the Treasury market, so yes, it is significant," said Gary Pollack, a portfolio manager with Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management in New York. "They have the ability to move the market, that is something that makes me a little nervous." > finance.yahoo.com George Soros broke the Bank of England [as his action was described]. "A falling camel attracts many knives" is an Arab expression [apparently]. "Et tu Brutus?" is another famous comment. "Piling on" is a similar sports expression. Big Ben had better have his ducks in a row to manage the onslaught which could arrive. The whole point of the "Flash Crash" was a mathematical analysis of the depth and response of markets and politicians and everything including competing supersonic million mile a minute fast trading computer algorithms. It would surprise me if there isn't a comparable test of the depth, strength and response of markets including the vast array of mathematical models and supersonic computers competing in the currency markets. Maybe Pimco just rang the bell.

One thing I have learned over the decades is that it can take a long time for things to happen which should happen, once people understand the facts better. Mqurice
