7:48 am
lend out in times of crisis. the point that bill gross is making is that if you have a large number of redemptions, particularly in a mutual fund, the mutual fund will have to sell holdings to meet the redemptions. what happens when it has to sell? it sells its most liquid holdings creating a cascading effect. the cascade begets more selling, and you get people who try to get out their money and can't. olivia: he is not alone. we have heard this concern from everyone and janet yellen and jamie dimon. we are expecting a macroeconomic convergence, the u.s. is tightening while the -- while europe has its pedal to the metal. the study says no, stay on the sidelines.
