Generally I go through the business news every morning to keep abreast of things predominantly in conjunction with my job in the automotive sector.
Was reading
. . . this . . .
No biggie, right.
But in the middle of it, I see this . . .
Yesterday the Fed announced plans to buy as much as $540 billion short-term debt from money market
funds, facing severe redemption pressures.
My question . . . is this in excess of what's already been promised?
Doing a rough calculation on what they've promised so far, it far exceeds the initial $700 or so billion.
Where the hell is
THIS money supposed to come from. Seems almost daily any more that the fed announces another couple hundred billion dollars
or so for the 'economy'.
Bizzare.
