How about this: "The New York Branch of the Fed is leveraged more than 80 to 1. Meaning, that a loss of asset value of less than 1.5% would send it into receivership if it were a different kind of institution."

80 to 1 leverage!

Where are all the Fed lovers and Ron/Eand Paul haters on FR?

and Goldman Sachs is the private arm of the Federal Reserve. These $%^&*&*( profited and then pillaged the USA for the benefit of their own. The Federal Reserve operates for Wall St not the USA.

The reason people loathe Ron Paul has nothing to do with his distrust of the Federal Reserve.

He’s correct. The Fed IS manipulating the stock market. They have been pumping the market up before, during, and after the State of the Union speech by the Marxist grifter in the WH. this fact is widely known by savvy technical analysts.

One TA I follow is a Canuk, and he has been remarking for several days that the Feds are propping up the market for Obama. He (and many TA’s) are expecting the market to rollover anytime, but we’ll have to wait until the Feds finish their current manipulation.

The Fed is NOT pumping up the stock market.

The Fed is pumping up EVERYTHING but the stock market.

The stock market does NOT reflect the sorry and sad state of the economy.

The stock market is not so much a place for investment but a global parking lot for money.

Money has flowed into the market because it is better place to park money than most places.

Because those who have the money are agreed that the U S stock market is as safe a place as any, the market has risen not because it is such a great investment but it safer than most other places.
