FOMC MINUTES: The Fed Had A Big Discussion About Augmenting Its Forward Guidance In December en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 11:06:48 -0500 Matthew Boesler mikej77 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 18:13:46 -0500 Fed can run indefinitely upside down. If all the assets went to zero it would not make any difference. They can create all the money they require at whatever interest rate they specify. As it is the Fed returns billions in profits every year to the US Treasury. Billions of dollars in debt issuance mature weekly at the Fed and are rolled over. They won't run it upside down to avoid frightening you but the Fed is not going bankrupt and neither is the USA. RDPeurope Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:51:32 -0500 Virtual desktop. What is it?

Willian Ventura Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:27:46 -0500 Why Matthew do this kind of superficial comments? Meanwhile the minutes showed very interesting insights, like the TERROR showed by the FOMC slave-masters on the certainity (not possibility) of FED balance-sheet LOSSES? BI have the numbest skulls (or best FED apologists?) as writers. kryptic Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:10:22 -0500 It is most likely Ben will go back to being a University professor. mikej77 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:06:57 -0500 Too many people in and out of government are dreaming about returning one way or the other to either the Reagan or Clinton administrations and this is not possible- both are in a *Past* no longer accessible. Unfortunately the unscrupulous demagogues that we elect or are ever likely to elect fall into this corrupt category of telling people what they want to hear. At the Fed we see the same note. It is suggested though not explicitly stated that at some point we will return to 20 years ago- what they see as *normal*- they (and we) would be better served if they maintained that the Federal Reserve will consider anything and everything to maintain the forward impulses in the economy. Fed asset purchases NEVER have to be sold back into the markets as 4 Trillion in a country whose total financial assets might be 100-110 Trillion USD. Given the financing requirements out over the next 30 years interest rates may NEVER return to the norms of the PAST CENTURY. 2008 was a watershed for the USA and the World as significant as December, 1941 - do yourself a favor and forget about what happened before then. B Hart Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:55:05 -0500 Stop the false sense of security with this artifcial market already. Let the markets be free, like they belong. John McCall Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:03:51 -0500 Here is an article that may provide a clue about what sector of the economy may provide Ben Bernanke’s next job: <a href="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ></a> It seems that no matter how this sector “misbehaves”, they win either way. depression Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:53:03 -0500 Thank you for destroying the free markets FED ..
