Now it all makes sense.

FED is just waiting for an excuse to expand it's balance sheet

They can print another 4 trillions.

Of course they will make up the rules as they go along. You didn't see that already?

Deflation would have fixed the core problems of our economy a long time ago. Would have been too much suffering for the people at the top though. Instead, they have prolonged the suffering for all, while rewarding themselves magnificently, and preserving and promoting an inefficient economic model.

Bad behavior is supposed to be punished, not rewarded.

Yeah, I expect to see QE4 at some point.

Let's face it: Our government is owned lock stock and barrel by banks, billionaires, and multinational corporations. Who loses money when stocks go down? Banks, billionaires, and multinational corporations.

Therefore the full might and resources of the United States Government WILL be employed to ensure that stocks continue to climb. I'm betting my life savings on it- and historically this is a pretty safe bet. Would YOU bet against the United States? Many people have... a few broke even. Most failed miserably.

It could be argued that this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Average Joe. Personally I'm not weighing in on that. I'm concerned with making money- not armchair quarterbacking society.

LOL. Of course not, it's more fun to blame the dealer(s) than play the hand you are dealt.

Of course you didn't put the fact that this is someone's opinion on what the Fed will do in your OP there....

If China's bubble blows up, why wouldn't there be QE4?

What about the strong dollar to compound the above? Companies are already blaming a strong dollar for weaker than expected earnings.

You're cute.

So like so many people in society you just want to make money by taking it from someone else. There is welfare for the poor. Welfare for corporations. Welfare for civil servants. Welfare for politicians. And now welfare for those who bet on stocks.

I suppose at some point, workers who actually are paying for all this will just be fed up with it all.

There are social, political, and economic factors that may handcuff the Fed this time around. While those betting on stocks would love that this transfer of wealth go on forever, there are those who are not so charitable. We see a hint of this outrage, not only in the Trump and Sanders insurgencies but even more serious situations all over the world.

If one simply sandboxes themselves in the world of stocks, then yes why not $25 trillion more? What harm? One has to look outside the sandbox to observe the harm and the resultant repercussions.

I don't think there will be any QE, it will seesaw the market, up and down. Not good overall.

{“We've built this model that tells us if we are at a state of complete panic, which we believe we are in, with the big drop in the Dow,” says Lamoureux. “And where we do our best work is when we get a sense mathematically of the extreme…If the crowd is too much one side of the boat, then we know the boat is about to tip over,” he says.} from the link.


Gotta love that doom and gloom.
