DrStool Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 So the market turned on a dime at the 3 day cycle projection of 2349, but it snot over till the fat lady farts. There's still a 5 day cycle projection of 2355. Do I think it will get there. No, but it is what it is. 2345 looks like a key level here. Stay below that and bears could smash it. Above that, and the 2355 projection would still be in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurntOnce Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 where does the FED get the money to pay interest on the reserve holdings in their attempt to raise rates? it must come from the interest they're getting from the mortgage and treasury securities on the balance sheet.

DrStool Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Right. The Fed's surplus (aka profit) is shrinking. It is returning less cash to the US Treasury. If they keep rising IOER eventually the cash flow will turn negative. I haven't gotten my mind all the way around that thought yet. My head would explode.

Jorma Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Right. The Fed's surplus (aka profit) is shrinking. It is returning less cash to the US Treasury. If they keep rising IOER eventually the cash flow will turn negative. I haven't gotten my mind all the way around that thought yet. My head would explode. Let me help you out Lee. Raise IOER to 5%, oh hell, 10%. Then just 'print' the interest payments. Well credit the banks.. Sure, they would not actually be buying securities but who would notice besides the banks and they wouldn't bitch. Is there anyone who is anyone who knows the Fed has to buy securities when it 'prints' money? Does .1% of the populace know the Fed has assets, a balance sheet? What a balance sheet is? Who could stop them or would stop them if they did notice, and how? The DOJ I suppose. Do they have standing? Well as if any administration would bitch about giving banks billions. Just half kidding.
