He isn’t the head bond vigilante, he has lost his touch big time.

He isn’t even in the top 100:

The Wall Street Journal
Pacific Investment Management Co.’s $245.5bn (€170.4bn) Total Return Fund, the world’s biggest bond fund run by Bill Gross, has returned 2.99% this year through Wednesday, underperforming its peers as the fixed income titan’s bearish view on Treasurys was undone by their bull run of the past few months.

The Pimco fund ranks 157th out of 179 funds in the category of intermediate-term bond funds tracked by Lipper. Over the past three months, the vehicle has generated a return of negative 0.04%, compared with a return of 2.7% from the benchmark Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, as per figures from Morningstar.

Mr Bill Gross manages the Total Return Fund, the world’s largest bond mutual fund, the PIMCO Total Return Fund. $240.7 billion at December 2010. You are right that he under performed the market, that’s what happens when you short the market. This underperformance is very rare, and it’s prompted a rethink. The market has told him that he’s wrong in his view of an insolvent west, and he’s humble enough to take the lesson and tell the rest of us what he now thinks. He is the best bond fund manager out there, we should listen.
