There was public news a long time ago saying that the government or Fed was buying stocks but would not exercise control over companies that received majority investments. So money has been shifted between stocks and bonds, then back in order to continue propping the dollar unnaturally high internationally, prevent the bond collapse, prevent repudiation of debt, etc. It appears that the plan is to slowly shrink the economy to fit only the most worthy without any major market fluctuations and without expanding domestic manufacturing.
Reminds me of a talk Mark Faber gave a few weeks ago about unlimited printing creating unequal bubbles. Sooner or later bubbles pop and the rush will be on to find the actual values, creating much turmoil in the process. Such is always the eventual outcome of artificial manipulation of markets. We however are in a much worse predicament in that we’ve now got a runaway government and its spending on our hands with millions dependent upon ever increasing debt.
