I agree that the FED is our friend.

In fact, I am a little concerned that they have been so timid to raise in the face of this torrid economy. I have seen what inflation can do in Canada during the 70s and trust me I would gladly wait a few more years to make that extra million in the market (g).

To add to the list, I think the FED also has regulatory control over margin requirements (not that AG said he favored the tool, but the could always change his mind).

I was wondering, does the FED buy back bonds, or is that the Treasury department?

I thought Specialists on the NYSE had to buy back in a falling market (albeit at a lower price), but that MMs are permitted to "step away from the market".

Just wondering
