The Fed expanded their balance sheet at a record pace over the past 3 months, had 3 rate cuts, and the Fed continues to add $50+ billion daily to the repo market ($75 billion more just today). As I said back when all of this started a few months ago, it is going to be very bullish for equities in the shorter-term......
I continue to hear about these monetary injections, but not usually in mainstream media sites. I'm never sure what to believe anymore when it comes to reporting, but it seems to me that if money is just being created like this, it can't end very good. That said, I'm not seeing a consequence thus far, so it doesn't seem like it is problematic. The whole issue leaves me baffled.

The mainstream media isn't going to really discuss the stuff I listed because they know the sheeple might actually think for themselves if they saw what was really occurring behind the curtain. If you want to see the truth about the Fed's record balance sheet expansion over the past 3-6 months, here is a link from the Fed's own website:
The 3 rate cuts over the past 3-6 months were publicly discussed and easily sourced.
As for the repo market injections, that is the real elephant in the room that is not receiving nearly enough attention. Remember when the repo market stuff first broke a few months ago, the Fed originally said they were only going to prop up the repo markets for one week. Now the Fed wants to do it "indefinitely." Everyone should be asking themselves this - since we have had the loosest monetary policy in history over the past decade, why are banks all of a sudden so afraid to lend to each other that the Fed has to step in and inject $50+ billion DAILY to keep the repo system afloat. Staggering sums of money over the past 3 months. And $52 billion added just yesterday and $75 billion on Thursday.
I remember not too long ago when VOO was going for 240 and people were saying that was "too expensive"... LOL! Now it's 305 and 240 looks like a fire sale... I wished I had picked up more at that price, uh! I don't think we will ever see 240 again!
