An idea of just how unsure and inexpert government “experts” can be: The Federal Reserve Bank kept on its past path of buying $multi-billion of government bonds. This inflates the economy by, in effect, printing fresh currency. The Fed intention: To rouse the economy
But at the same time, the Fed allowed some big banks to raise their dividends, which soaks up capital and their lendable funds.
While some banks, instead, use their Fed induced, 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.
