So, Mr. Gross, your bonds are fully valued to the future and present changes GDP or Economic Growth Value. How is that possible when you and other bond holders have been so blindsided by this event that you endorsed.
Let me show you what happened. We need to travel back to the Vietnam War and The Brady Bonds.
These bonds have a lot of blood on their hands. 6m deaths in Vietnam, sold to iran. Financed terror for 10 years, sold back to ?? US. Hidden in the 90s. Destroyed on date of expiration at the broker/dealer. Started conflict in Afganistan. Extended to Iraq.
The bonds were based on the assets of the vietnam war. The assets were paid for by rubber, and opiates. Bonds were issued... for a war? If you lie about bonds then failure is guaranteed.
The Brady Bonds showed if one percent of the issued bonds were fraudulent, there would be 3-4% growth. So Brady Bonds were issued on 9/11/1971 as 30 year +1 day expiration. This was validated to you from the city next to you, Huntington Beach. Huntington Beach was a swamp land oil field. When the oil was drained the swamp settled enough that it could be built on. Essentially it was built on the first 3 years of the Brady Bond interest. By 1974 most of Huntington Beach between Beach Blvd, and Brookhurst, from Adams to PCH now had a home. These homes were needed for the aerospace industry. This was great, you at the bondholder made a tremendous amount of money on re-issuance of bonds.
Now your expectations are that you must do this again with a much larger operation. You are now selling 30 year bonds on future growth. But the problem is you have changed the defining sentence of a bond, and nobody knows it. This change in the definition of a bond and it issuance is not noticed by economist. Because it is validated by data, this new definition of a bond becomes the major failure in our economy. This failure is based on the idea that bonds are now linked to future growth instead of current infrastructure and resources.
It became apparent during the Iran-Contra event that although military parts were sold to iran, the really concerning part was they were paid for with brady bonds. The real problem was we now owned these brady bonds again. They were shown to be fraudulent during iran-Contra. We gave them real parts for fake money. These bonds needed to be gathered up and destroyed before their expiration.
The people at original holders and owners were lied to by the Nixon Gvt. Now that is a stretch. Nixon lying. What was interesting, was the Brady Bonds were destroyed at the broker not the owner. The deaths at Cantor-Fitzgerald were instant.
Surgical extraction of the Brady Bonds and their derivatives should be the HairCut necessary for the bondholders to take for their participation in this huge economic fuckup. This should include the physical removal of underlying asset that has failed the bond. The empty office building that was used to underwrite the subprime tract of homes should also be removed when the empty tract of homes is removed. The required money for this should come from the Bond insurance.
The rule for bondholders is if you are making more that 2-3% on a 10year then something is really wrong with the underlying bond.
Issuance of bonds. 30 y bonds should only be issued every 10 years. For example, I bought a building in 2003. I paid its mortgage off in 2010. Seven years. In 2013 I will have 3 years of profit or no mortgage to pay. I will take that money and use it to pay for the next 10 years of maintenance, marketing and bond insurance. Then I will issue 5, 10 and 20 year bonds to cover the life of the asset, and collect rent. It should be that easy to understand. I must have the asset paid for and it future health should be covered before I am allowed to issue a bond against the asset.
Another thing. You cannot issue beyond the asset's life or beyond the asset's depreciated value. You don't get to make shit up and issue bonds to it. That showed the failure of the Tech bubble. Basing building homes on fraud causes the sub-prime failure. Sub-prime would have worked if the underlying assets had real value.
So, you may not be directly at fault, But stupid statements like bond are fully valued... when you show a general ignorance and lack of proper information, are dangerous. As a bondholder. you should never speak. We should never know who really owns the debt. Who was foolish enough to underwrite sub-prime homes in California?
For those who still do not understand, this concept is how you disperse the sub-prime and Fannie and Freddie and Sallie. Just show that these were failed by the fraudulent Brady's. Then Sub-prime can be shown to be a failure of the Brady's not of the concept of Bond. If you bondholders still don't get this then the latter is probable. And all this is true because stock (equities) is the first derivative of the underlying bond. Or it use to be before equities became a gambling platform.
