...even with QE...

Lots of folks on these threads talk about QE --maybe to sound like they've been thinking about these things-- but more often than not nobody seems to have any idea just what QE is.  If you get a chance, please tell us what QE you're talking about that's "with" us these days?

QE in the modern era ... the Federal Reserve buying hundreds of billions of treasury bonds.

Or have they quit that?

If they’ve quit, who’s buying all the bonds?

Good point. The most destructive policy is the Federal Reserve’s zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) which has been in place for so long that there hasn’t been a rate increase in more than nine years.
