	Bond baron Bill Gross delivers fat returns - MSN Money
		Bill Gross’s office couldn't have been used by the Gordon Gekko character in the movie "Wall Street." It’s far too modest, on a low floor of a squat office building and barely large enough for his desk and a couple of chairs.
		Gross speaks so softly that he can’t be heard above the hiss of the tape recorder I used during a recent interview in a conference room just off the Pimco trading floor at The Beach, as Pimco followers refer to the company’s headquarters.
		Gross is a bolder investor than most bond managers, willing to make big bets on changes in the direction of interest rates and other market conditions.

	The Bill Gross' Way of Making Money - MarketThoughts.com
		Gross acknowledges that: "If a bank does not overdo the structural model (and they can and have), profits are almost guaranteed on a long-term basis as long as capitalism as we know it survives.
		Bill Gross then highlights the important characteristic of this structural composition advantage: "In addition to their profit-generating elements, these structures share the common element of longevity, near permanence.
		Gross argues that it is in PIMCO's advantage to utilize this structure, simply because of the inherent overvaluation of interest rate options, the "lottery ticket mentality," the mean reversion trade, and the fact that there are two significant parties that are, at all time, inherently long volatility.

		Gross is an excellent bond trader (and thats the key word, he actively trades, PIMCO trades) no doubt about it, but Middleton makes a read much like Bonners "Financial Reckoning Day" he just keeps repeating his mantra: Total Return.
		I've been a Bill Gross fan for a long time, and this book really provides terrific insights into what makes the man tick and what makes his investing style so successful.
		At the tail end of a 20-year bull market in bonds, it's worth noting that Gross is one of the few managers with the gumption to have issued a warning that the good old days may be about over.

	A Federal Inflation Conspiracy?
		Gross struck a nerve because he offers an explanation for what seems to be a growing point of confusion among the general public: Why are personal expenses rising so quickly when the government's consumer price index is rising at just 2% to 3% a year?
		According to Gross, the government is "fudging on inflation" by adjusting many of the prices that go into its calculation for improvements in quality (for example, a standard-issue corporate laptop computer has declined in price in the past five years, but it also has a lot more memory and capability overall).
		Gross also says the feds are adjusting for the fact that if the price of beef goes up, people eat more chicken.
