"easier monetary policy not only allows consumers to enjoy a capital gain" You defined inflation. Thanks. Since each new USD printed and auctioned by the FED to the banks, devalues the currency, you need more of those USD in exchange for your shares so that they keep their value. No capital. Just inflation.

Hi BubbaFred, <<What you think of this? ... "Thus, our results suggest that easier monetary policy not only allows consumers to enjoy a capital gain in their stock portfolios today, but it also reduces the effective amount of economic and financial risk they must face.">> ... this scheme cannot work for the same reason that: (a) Perpetual motion machines are not (b) No economy survived monetary promiscuity that led to chain-reaction implosion (c) Where goes the economy, so goes most folks within and around that economy, unless they opted out earlier or are close to an alternate economy Else we would still be under the rule of the Romans or all be speaking Spanish, and there would be no need to be educated or work; just get a wad of money at birth and ride along with the governing authority as it prints and helicopters money :0) Chugs, Jay
