Fox News and Republicans might actually have a chance at making sense.

If you traveled to a "Loony Tunes" universe, a pretend universe, Liberalism would also make sense.

If you actually were a stock broker you'd know the Dow is only up because of all the fake money being pumped into the banks by the Federal Reserve.

Obama has nothing to do with it and the scam will all come crashing down eventually...hard.

The Fed ended its quantitative easing program on October 29, 2014, yet the market continues to soar. I guess that makes you...

Wrong!

If everything was backwards, it would mean we go from death to birth. Of course, living under those conditions, it would seem natural and we wouldn't know it was backwards. Perhaps, foretelling the future is merely remembering the dreams of our doppelgangers.

libs would love America, liberty and freedom. Believe in God, have family values, morals and ethics. Wouldn't be on welfare. Would take responsibility for their actions. Wouldn't be war mongerers. Wouldn't murder babies. Would let rapists die.

Clearly, that will never happen.

Quantitative easing was the Fed program of buying US Treasury bonds (i.e. monetizing the debt). The fund rate, which is what the Fed charges banks to borrow money from each other is still at basically 0, so the Fed continues to drive money into the Stock Market as it remains the only way to get any return on investment.

The Fed is starting to resell/dump their US bonds onto the market, driving up the inflation rate to 4%. Something has to give. Either bond rates and inflation have to go up or the market has to come down. You can't have both without further Fed QE, which will eventually kill the US dollar as we now have trillions of extra dollars in the economy with no real value behind them other than the Fed printing them.

I'm loving the sky high market, but I'm not foolish enough to think there's anything behind it other than aggressive FRB policies and our fiat currency making it so. There's no real growth except as it comes from free money (i.e. 0% auto loans, 2.5% mortgage refi's, etc).

The Fed is still buying MBS.

The balance sheet grew by $13 billion last month.

In addition, other central banks have expanded their market support policies with the prodding of the Fed and the IMF.

If it did not, the US housing market would collapse.

What is 'fake' about this money 'the Fed continues to drive' into the stock market?

The current US inflation rate is substantially less than 2%.

If you add the 6 percent housing price appreciation for 2014 back in the CPI, the inflation rate would be over 3 percent. housing and shelter makes up 40% of the index. The real inflation rate is probably close to 4 to 5 percent. A lot of things like education, medical care, and housing are intentionally masked in the index.

Housing falls because of credit being too lax and losses start to accumulate. Banks tighten after they start to incur losses. They just raised the conforming limits and lowered downpayments to 3.5%.

The Fed buying MBS helps maintain liquidity in the mortgage market.
