QE is dead! Long live QE!
lol --that's such a crock! We've had got a number of threads going around on that theme, most of 'em talk about how the 'stock market' is rigged by QE. For a while I'd post QE along w/ the S&P500 to show how there was no affect, and on this thread at post 30 we considered whether ending QE3 would wreck the economy and found QE/jobs had no correlation either.
I've had time to look at it again and here's what I got for QE w/ inflation --
--and personally what I'm seeing is that the whole point of the Fed's bond buying was to stabilize prices, and they succeeded so they're done buying. My big question is how is this any different than what happened toward the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2011 when the Fed also stopped buying for a while?
