<According to some...sources Greenie hasn't been that accomadative of late> That's right on, in my view. O.N., or repos of a few days don't mean much. However, looking at the more important AND regular longer period liquidity injections - such as the 28 day (that usually occurs on Thursdays); the size of these adds has declined steadily since late last year when Mr Green Jeans ended the post 9/11 period of stimulation and began slowing the rate of liquidity injections into the credit system. From 5 billion, to 4 on the 28 day, and in recent weeks we're al the way down to 2 billion. That's a very big drop. app.ny.frb.org If we take a look at the 12 month impact of all the different period injections on the various monetary aggregates we see the same pattern of slow down very sharp slow down since early this year. martincapital.com If this guy were a bus driver?

Let's hear from some other contributors on this question. I'll try to weigh with a thought or two, later. Isopatch
