Re: How the Fed is likely to reduce its balance sheet

Lt cap,

Article was somewhat depressive to me, as if the market were to return to 'normal' mechanics, I'd have some idea of what to buy/get ride of, etc.

I am still flumoxed by how this market, once Trump was elected, continue to go rocketing up. And he can't seem to implement his agenda. Although health care is still a conundrum (As well as alienating our friens), I'm guess that infrastructure spending would pass, given that Democrats  would back it, but not a huge 'gift' of a tax cut of the rates charged against businises. I underastand that *if* such proposal come to fruiition, it's have a positive market effect. But he hes no choherent poicy, and no guarantees that it'll get passed on Congress.

And I still  don't get things like, in the article, slowly selling what was 'bought' by the feds/banks, with no effect on economic growth.

I've always maintained the position that all that'printed money' with no back would at least have *some* bad effects, but so far, can anybody tell me whtat they are? It seems ridiculous to me. I can only see that the 'wealth effect' is a continuing market driver that is still supported buy the fed. I'd be interested in anybodys'rationale'/opinion on these matter. I'm just puzzled to the point where I've bought very little of the market, and not sold much - because this irrational wealth effect seems like snake oil to me.
