Treasuries are down 8.76% to pick the equities up. They're throwing the treasury at the equities market. That's a theft of tens of trillions, at this rate. That's how they're using the crisis.

The entire curve shifted down by a lot that’s true, but that means the npv of the bonds went up, not down unlike what you said in your original statement. I don’t understand you mean with your original tweet

i think you need to look at the actual value of the US dollar. They are incredibly devaluing the currency in order to maintain equities. This doesn't really change net present value if you really think about it, mainly because value is where you find it. NPV calcs messed ~0%

But the dollar appreciated in a kinda dramatic way putting a whole lot of stress on the r.o.w. And no, NPV calculations are not messed up at the ZLB. What we’re seeing in equities has imho little to do with the Fed and much more with retail traders gambling 2000 style ...

i don't think the dollar appreciated in the last two decades, except vs a very few products, not for housing, medical, education, and these are what divide classes. we have become exponentially more classist.

Imho, that got little to do with the Fed and a whole lot more with American institutions and policy choices. I don’t get why so many folks blame the Fed for unrelated policy failures. They’re the wrong recipient in most cases
