I'm curious how they are handling the bonds, if they can sell them on short notice etc.
Say I'm holding bonds that are underwater and I need liquidity. I bought 10 years when rate was 3.75% but rate was 4.0% when I gave them to the Fed and they were at a loss. Now the rate as of today is 3.39% so now I'm at a profit. Can I get them back and sell to get my gains and be free of the stigma of being on the hook with the Fed or are they stuck there?

The FED doesn't borrow money, they create money with a click of a mouse. It's unlimited, and infinite.
