What a massive bull trap - when the rates are at 4.5-5%, what do you think will happen to equity multiples? I see broke people.

Or if you have some vested interest in Twatter.

Yep, inflation and oil prices have peaked, markets have bottomed and all is well.

Bwahaha, well done again sir "I accept no responsibility for my actions"! But hey - at least he's blaming the pandemic for this 40 year high inflation and not 9/11, so that's somewhat reassuring. Right?

Yep, take it from the ex-Goldmanite Mr Dickhead - be calm and carry on printing.

Yep, boils down to this - "buy high so we could sell even higher"

What difference does it make? So they can't buy individual stocks - why would they bother anyway, just print more money and buy index funds like SPY/DIA/QQQ. Lather, rinse, repeat. "Tough new rules"? I could live with those, if I was in Jerry's ...

Inflation is transitory but so are specific interest rates - it's your damn job to proactively adjust the latter in response to former, instead of flapping your lips. Does the term "dereliction of duty" come to mind here at all?

Bravo sir - you are the ultimate market manipulator.

The Fed is failing miserably at achieving its primary historical objective which is to promote price stability via prudent monetary policy. Reducing unemployment was not part of its "dual" mandate until 1977, which is ironically roughly coincidental ...

My comments were not off topic at all. While the initial poster was not technically correct in identifying the party instrumental in debt monetization, the end result is certainly more liquidity in circulation, aka more inflation, aka printing ...

Unless you are 6 years old or have no clue about how basic economics and credit work, you should be able to see past the spin, and realize that borrowed money leads to printed money - and certainly not proliferate the spin. It's completely obvious ...

LMAO @ all you sticklers trying to correct basically accurate categorizations of what's going on. Step 1. U.S. Government wants to borrow more money Step 2. It issues new bonds Step 3. "Primary dealers" buy the new bonds (they only do it because ...

Since you're an Aussie, I'll cut you a break for ignorance. However, you should educate yourself before posting gibberish. The Fed DOES buy U.S. Government debt, they have been doing this for over a decade. Do I need to find proof for you? url ...

What's not QE? QE is ALL about buying Treasury, MBS and even corporate debt. The Fed does not call it printing money because it's a slightly more opaque and dignified term, to those who like splitting hairs. But buying debt is just the instrument to ...

For over 10 years, there have been nice educational videos floating out there that explain how QE works, I recommend looking them up. In a nutshell: * Treasury issues new debt, partly to pay for maturing debt, and partly to finance the government ...

Translation: we must keep printing money and propping up asset prices for the top 0.01%, while screwing over savers.

I would say he is more along the lines of Ben Bernanke, but with the resolve of a dogged drug dealer. What he's saying is - there's no longer any single numeric data point that they go by when deciding when to tighten up policy? Soooo... you are ...

Well said. Look at the savings rates of just about every major US bank - Chase, Wells Fargo, BofA etc. Even their CDs (not to mention savings accounts) earn literally NOTHING, regardless of the balance. Hey, "economists" - pop quiz for y'all: what ...

Fed support is not needed by anyone with no stake in the rabid equity market. There is no liquidity crisis in the economy and there hasn't been in a while, perhaps not since the start of the pandemic at all. The (official) unemployment rate is ...
