If you don’t think QE is bolstering the market, can we then agree that it should be terminated post haste?

Terminating QE can mean more than one thing.

There've been at least three different 'QE's not counting the 'twists'.  One part of the first one had the Fed buying a bunch of private bonds and then later selling them.   You can't mean we should say, 'un-sell' the bonds (buy them) and then proceed to 'un-buy' them (sell them).  Same with the other parts of the other QE's.  If what you mean is we should stop doing and more QE's right now then well, we're not doing and of them right now.

If what you're really saying we should abolish the entire federal reserve then please really say so in plain English.
