Thanks for your insight. I understand about why the money supply was pumped up, my confusion is why the Fed would up the interest rates rather than put the subtraction of liquidity in hyperdrive. Higher interest rates hurts all the economy. I would like to see the US business surge increase the well being of all citizens. I don't think folks buying a house/car should pay for the excesses of the stock market. These folks may have zip to do with the stock market. That's why I think the margin rates would be a better/more targeted way to go. Those $25K shopping trips are definitely not happening in the majority of households. A rate increase won't slow them down either. Oh well, that's my 2cents worth.
