That's where you've been led astray
It's not all about the market and didn't used to be. Fed's mandate is not to prop up asset prices. You sound foolish defending their reckless actions in any way. Remember when you barely heard from them and the market did its thing based on fundamentals and news and sentiment? It wasn't that long ago.

It's about a sound economy based on supply and TRUE demand and a free capital market, with the STOCK MARKET reflecting same.You can not make sound investment decisions based on a Ponzi scheme. How hard is that to grasp? Buying stocks because the Fed will backstop...until they don't, is not investing.

The Fed and the pols want the voters to ignore the facts and applaud higher asset values while ignoring the staggering inflation its creating.

Shorting banks will be outlawed of course, until taxpayer money can be funneled in. Same as before.
