just how much money is actually out there? every bill could be considered a share in the US.... and pushing out 1 trillion more shares will dilute the shareholders.

so the question is... how much did i just get diluted?

US Federal Reserve plans $1.15 trillion injection

In a development which mirrors recent actions by the Bank of England, America's central bank will buy $300bn of US government securities in an attempt to pump more funds into the economy by monetising its own debt.

The Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC), chaired by Ben Bernanke, also said that it plans to buy up to $750bn of additional agency mortgage-backed securities, on top of $500bn already committed, and double the agency debt it plans to buy this year from $100bn to $200bn.

Not sure how many total ‘shares’ are out there, but the Fed just utilized their Doomsday option. Their only recourse is to continue to dilute the market as they drive away other prospective buyers. Somehow I don’t relish $50 a gallon gas and $20 a loaf bread, but that’s just me. Hyperinflation here we come. Maybe we should invest in wheelbarrows. We’ll need them to haul around all the money it will take to do the grocery shopping.

Just wanted to update you on the money supply found a GREAT CHART here. Basically, since the economic trouble hit at the end of 2008 the money supply has gone from just over 800 billion dollars to 1.7 trillion (with a T) dollars. We've more than doubled the supply. Ouch.
