And they will reduce it back at the end of February. That's the kicker! And they give all incentive to trade a lot: 200 lots minimum to receive any 'bonus'. They must've the relevant statistics as to how many new deposits live to see the 200th trade, LOL.

Of course the Fed is buying treasuries. The selling was in reference to the NY Fed's and the co-oping institutions' shenanigans. I decided to omit that side-story for clarity's sake, but 'selling' remained instead of 'buying'. Since this is ET and not an academic expose I tend not to...

[B]"We're not printing money. The amount of currency in circulation is not changing. The money supply is not changing in any significant way." He is right, technically. They are not printing the physical currency, ie not widening M0 (notes and coins in circulation and in bank vaults); so he...
