(Bloomberg) -- It wasn’t just retail traders who cashed in big during the
GameStop Corp. stock mania. A legendary billionaire investor made a minor
killing shorting the shares.

Bill Gross, the erstwhile bond king and co-founder of Pacific Investment
Management Co., said in an interview Tuesday on Bloomberg Television that he
made about $10 million betting against the video game retailer’s shares.

But the trade didn’t go off without a hitch.

“I got in too early,” said Gross. “I was in the hole by about $10 million.
” But he stuck with it to sell at a profit.

GameStop stock, for months among the most heavily shorted on the New York
Stock Exchange, surged more than 1,700% from Jan. 1 through Jan. 27 as a
legion of Reddit users piled on, forcing bearish traders to scramble for
shares and brokers to take the highly unusual step of curbing trading.

Amid that mania, Gross took a shot to bet against the shares: “I got in with
options like a good Robinhood trader, I guess.”

He’s not done yet.

“I’m still selling call options at $250 and $300,” said Gross. “I think
this is the perfect opportunity for options sellers, not buyers, to take
advantage.”

Gross was largely known for his bond bets after four decades at Pimco, which
he built into one of the world’s largest asset managers. For years he
generated industry-leading returns as manager of the Pimco Total Return Fund
and in 2013 the firm’s assets approached $2 trillion. He was ousted though a
year later after feuding with his Pimco partners over strategy, succession
and managerial control.

Gross then joined Janus Henderson Group Plc as a money manager, switching his
focus from pursuing relative return against a benchmark to an unconstrained
strategy. The aim was to achieve positive results no matter the market
conditions, but it didn’t work out. Returns were disappointing and Gross
retired in March 2019.

Gross continues to comment on central bank policy and deficits and speculate
in the bond markets with his personal fortune.

He said he was short coming into the Treasuries selloff of recent weeks that
took the 10-year yield to a one-year high above 1.6%. He also continues to
bet against 10-year futures and the long bond. The investor predicts a jump
in inflation ahead that will give Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell “pause
” about the central bank’s current lower-for-longer policy.

“Inflation, you know, currently below 2% now is not going be below 2% in the
next few months,” Gross said. “I see a 3% to 4% number ahead of us.”

機翻如下：

（彭博社）-在GameStop Corp.的股票狂潮中，不僅有大量交易者賺了錢。一位傳奇的億
萬富翁投資者以空頭殺了空股票。

過去的債券之王，太平洋投資管理公司（Pacific Investment Management Co.）聯合創
始人比爾‧格羅斯（Bill Gross）週二在彭博電視台接受采訪時說，他以視頻遊戲零售商
的股票作價約1000萬美元。

但是交易並非一帆風順。

格羅斯說：“我來得太早了。” “我空了大約是一千萬美元。”但是他堅持用它來賺錢
。

從1月1日到1月27日，GameStop股票是紐約證券交易所中做空量最大的股票，為數月之久
，其飆升超過1,700％，原因是大量Reddit用戶大量湧入，迫使看空交易員爭相買入股票
和經紀人遏制交易的非常不尋常的步驟。

在這種狂熱之中，格羅斯投下了賭注：“我猜想，我選擇了像羅賓漢那樣的好交易員。”

他還沒做完。

格羅斯說：“我仍在以250美元和300美元的價格出售看漲期權。” “我認為這是期權賣
方而非買方利用的絕佳機會。”

格羅斯（Gross）在Pimco工作了40年後，以債券押注而聞名，他成為了全球最大的資產管
理公司之一。多年來，他擔任Pimco總回報基金的經理，創造了行業領先的回報，2013年
，該公司的資產接近2萬億美元。一年後，在與Pimco合夥人在戰略，繼任和管理控制方面
發生爭執之後，他被罷免。

後來，格羅斯加入了Janus Henderson Group Plc，擔任資金經理，將他的工作重點從追
求基準的相對回報轉向了不受約束的策略。目的是在任何市場條件下都取得積極的成果，
但這沒有奏效。回報令人失望，格羅斯於2019年3月退休。

格羅斯繼續對央行的政策和赤字發表評論，並以他的個人財富在債券市場進行投機。

他說，最近幾周美國國債遭遇拋售，這使10年期國債收益率升至1.6％以上的一年高位，
這是他的作空方向。他還繼續押注10年期期貨和長期債券。這位投資者預測，未來通貨膨
脹率將急劇上升，這將使美聯儲主席杰羅姆‧鮑威爾（Jerome Powell）對中央銀行目前
的“從長至短”政策“暫停”。

格羅斯說：“您知道，目前的通貨膨脹率目前低於2％，在未來幾個月內不會低於2％。”
 “我認為我們前面的數字將達到3％到4％。”

（在上段中更新了格羅斯對通貨膨脹的看法。）


心得/評論：

同場加映 -> https://reurl.cc/V3mX5Y

債券天王想要空爆GME，WSB想把天王剁了作燃料。

當然，這則新聞另一個看點是Bill Gross對於通膨急速上升的預測。

但是十年期國債收益率飆升是否能真正反映出通膨水準，個人認為非常值得商榷。

某個程度上這應該更要去觀察大宗商品的價格趨勢。

兩者脫鉤並非不可能的事情。
