As the stock market rises, we have to ask ourselves how many stock buybacks are taking place to artificially raise the market. The FED loans and funds these buybacks for a 1% rate and the bankers get their cut. The FED doesn’t benefit from the halt on QE that’s why we wont see it end. We should look at Germany and see our very own future, since Germany is the only one who has experienced inflation to the extreme. Japan is experiencing the same fate with the illusion that funds are being printed out of thin air. The market is by far not a fixed market, but a central institutionally owned one. The information that we receive about unemployment and inflation is totally impossible “they” report that we are near full employment yet the public is out of work, job fairs overflowing, and students with masters degrees searching for any job to get hired. Other statistics show 93 million are jobless, so how do their numbers match up? Does anyone remember The Plunge Protection team, the presidents working group on financial markets. This is not the FED or QE, none of that, this is a whole other entity in fact after “Black Monday” in 1987 Regan put together a team to prevent the market from having major downturns. The group was charged and accused of going way beyond their legal mandate in attempts to manipulate the stock market by using government funds to buy stock index futures and stocks or using moral suasion to have banks do their dirty work. The only way they really could don this is through the US treasury, the FED or the cooperation of banks. Quite possibly all of the above were done and still are, on OCT 2008 the Working group did issue a statement saying that the government may own certain shares in the firms that which it provided loans. Knowledge truly is the most powerful thing we have as humans we can not just rely on the numbers, the reports that are fed to us (no pun intended), knowing all aspects is the only way we will keep up with the TPTB
Money is money, if it spends it is organic. The fed is organic. Buybacks are organic. Chew on organic kale while u trade, chea seeds, hemp seed milkshakes, its all useful for energy stimulus and optimal brain function while trading. The fed is like dietary fiber it's need is integrated into our capitalistic system - your body needs fiber to push out waste, the market needs various stimulus measures to go up, there is no difference. the world moves on, just as u move on after passing a turd on a daily basis - its not news it just happens.
