An idea of just how unsure and inexpert the “experts” can be: The Federal Reserve Bank has kept on its path of buying multi-billions of government bonds. This inflates the economy by, in effect, printing fresh currency.
The Fed intention is to rouse the economy
But at the same time, the Fed is allowing some big banks to raise their dividends, which soaks up capital and their lend-able funds. The Fed, after all, wants to rouse the unemployment problem.
Moreover. some banks, instead, use their newly-excess cash to buy up shares. All this adds to a mix which makes the Fed’s actions very imprecise, to go along with the rest of their their seat-of-the-pants decisions.(See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
