Soros says US bank reform “good” but “too early”
, July 16 (Reuters) – Billionaire
investor George Soros on Friday said the just-passed U.S.
financial overhaul bill will impose new regulations on the
banking system before the banks have recovered sufficiently to
cope with new restrictions on their activities.
“The banking system still needs to earn its way out of a
hole,” Soros said at a panel discussion at the Hamptons
Institute in East Hampton, New York.

Pimco says Fed move not start of tightening cycle
NEW YORK, Feb 18 (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve’s surprise
move on Thursday to raise the interest rate it charges banks
for emergency loans does not mean that a full-fledged
tightening cycle has begun, the manager of Pimco, the world’s
biggest bond fund, told Reuters.
“I don’t think it’s the beginning, really, of a tightening
from the standpoint of monetary policy,” Bill Gross told
Reuters Insider television soon after the Fed’s decision. “I
don’t think it is the beginning of an increase in the fed funds
rate or in terms of interest on reserves that has been
discussed as well.”
