Here's how the head of PIMCO sees TPC. (Does occupying that position qualify him as one of the chief bond vigilantes?) Anyway, he views the debt ceiling itself and TPC as indicative of a dysfunctional political system with potentially damaging economic implications in terms of confidence and expectations.

How the platinum coin could work (or backfire)
Mohamed El-Erian
Congress: Save the bond market!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf he has read the John Lounsbury piece, he would be terrified of the TPC
ReplyDeleteNot sure if the byline was added by CNN Money or it is from Erian but if he wrote "coin might shock politicians into cleaning up the fiscal mess" is sadly very confused, no match for McCulley he replaced. There is no fiscal mess to clean, deficits should be bigger until unemployment drops.
ReplyDeleteI guess El-Erian hasn't read MeCulley's recent stuff and has lost his phone number.
