I do not believe the Fed is pushing up stocks. OK I think the PPT stepped in during the London bombing but that is about it really. Certainly not often anyway. Besides correlation not automatically being synonymous with causation and leaving aside the PPT, how do you account for the high correlation between TOMOs and TIOs and the behavior of the US stock markets, as shown in my chart? No question in my mind that the Fed can at best only fairly lightly create an influence on job creation.
