jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com The same thoughts as mine .... 60% of Fed SOMA is lent out. They will have to increase it (by monetizing T-auctions or directly). "The next shoe to drop will be the methods by which the Fed "increases the size of their balance sheet" quickly enough to achieve a quantitative easing. Several commentators are calculating the Fed held assets as they approach zero as the Fed extends its assets to the banks and exchanges them in a variety of swaps. We suggest it is probably incorrect to assume that when the Fed expend the remaining three or four hundred billions of existing Treasury holdings that they will say 'game over' and call it a day. That when we leave the trodden path of monetary history and the US attempts to break the final bonds of a purely fiat currency."
