Fed considers upping QE3 size and language

Quote from Covertibility:

SO no one wants to buy US bonds except for the Fed?

75% of all treasury paper is now bought by the Federal Reserve. Where do you think the market would be for t-notes if the Fed didn't buy them? Serious question.
 
Quote from oldtime:

I'm doing pretty damn well. There's been some ups and downs. But all of it has been under the watchful eye of the Federal Reserve.

I doubt things would be this stable in my life without them.

It won't be, soon enough....
 
Once the SPX starts to break down, 1400, 1350, 1300, 1250 BUBBLE ben bernanke is going to take everything he hasnt taken (which isnt much now) and throw it all at the market. All QE has done was prop up markets and asset prices, that can only last so long.
 
Till mid 2015? Really, Im thinking more like 2020+



"The Fed also took the dramatic step of saying it expects to keep short-term interest rates unchanged even if the recovery strengthens. It also pushed out the calendar date for the expected first rate hike until mid-2015."

It's inevitable...the sad part is we have just as many delusional idiots on this board who would support this type of monetary "insanity". The same folks who never see inflation, who continue to argue that it was "the only course of action", etc, etc...

We'll see just how damaging 8 years of ZIRP has been well before 2015. "Zero sum" as in bailout of the financial institutions at all costs kills off many other sectors of this patchwork economy.
 
Quote from maxpi:

Yeah, it's unreal. The gold backed US $ was settled on as the reserve currency at Bretton Woods. Then we went off the gold standard. The perceived stability of the US $ is the new gold standard. However, nobody is buying the Treasuries of late except the Fed. Is it because we have a marxist as POTUS maybe? Is it because we deregulated and now have a third worldish financial system? Stay tuned folks, more to follow...

I support this "insanity" because it is working and it is better than the alternative. I am very concerned about present inflation and future inflation. But inflation isn't the only thing the Fed has to be concerned about.
