So Fed will be up $300B on the economic crisis… in addition to spinning off $50B/yr to treasury from regular open market activities.

Sounds like a job well-done! But… its fantasyland.

Barry has every right to espouse what he believes but I think the foolishness is on his end of the spectrum. The March call was a great one. Having said that the explanation of what transpired after the initial short squeeze has the Feds hands written all over it.

I really hate this perspective that when someone can’t explain something it is conspiracy. That said, the Fed could easily be buying stocks. The BOJ is. Yet, the BOJ announced it. The Fed could be buying stocks and monetizing it as well. Who knows. Biderman doesn’t.

If we could audit the Fed and all of its secret cabals…………

The way I see it this is yet another attempt by GS (thru Biderman) to convince investors the stock market is safe. At the same time they have the bond markets being called into question. They want all the 401K investors to believe equities are safe and bonds risky, so they will (foolishly) move their bond allocations back over to equities. What better safety net than to believe the government will certainly keep this market afloat. Sorry, I believe we have all seen they won’t. If the PPT existed where were they last March?

traders they may not have to fall off the turnip truck again. Santoli ,,and the rest of his ilk

are so brilliant you could never convince them with names ,timelines , and numbers . I’ve tried,

it’s not worth the time. They know all.

The market situation you describe is naively simplistic. First, this is not at all what TrimTab “FundFlows” measures. And Second, “what happens to the guy who gets my $1.20?” isnt that a stock fund outflow as he moves to cash? Again, net flows balance.

As far as the Fed “putting the world through” this financial period — Do you know any real estate speculators? (I feel almost every silly amateur investor I know was on the “you cannot lose” trade). I guess I missed the Fed’s “Real Estate Speculator” course. I think blaming the Fed is mainly misplaced. They deserve some blame (plenty to go around) especially as lax bank regulators.

I find that incredible to believe . . .

BR,

as you know, we’re dealing with ~”things not in evidence”, with that, these, subsequent points:

“…As for the PPT, I agree the Fed has openly acted, often in vain. What have they done in secrecy? I do not know, maybe things will come out later. The bottom in March was a move from extreme pessimism and oversold conditions, and we are moving to extremes in optimism. When do we get there? Obvious in hindsight I am certain.”–Boots or Hearts, above

similiar to previous points you have made..

and, “Well, the take a way is simply that the level of information is crucial to understand the financial world. And you need to dig deep before you recognize the pattern of the mighty and powerful. Most will never get it, even after 30 years in this business. But do not be naive: there is more than meets the eye. Enough said. You don’t need neither conspiracy nor tin foil. Human nature, deadly greed and big money…just reality and a big lap of time.”–Manolo, above.

is similiar to where I’m coming from..

the upshot being, there are Risks inherent in this Market, at this Time, that are not, broadly, broached.

With that, there are many moving parts to this, current, financial schema that, really, need to be fisked.

that undertaking, said fisking, would be an additional ‘value-add’ to the Marketplace of Goods & Ideas..
