Stock futures came regained most of their losses after the Federal Reserve unveiled an open-ended asset purchase program, which the central bank will run in the “amounts needed to support smooth market functioning and effective transmission of monetary policy to broader financial conditions and the economy.” https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/22/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html
The fed will do anything and everything to prop a market up but when the markets are overheated, in a bubble and in a 10 year straight up bull market they dont even slow it down. They say the federal reserve doesnt watch equities, haaa that's fake news, every single fed intervention in the stock market is only because markets are collapsing. They watch what stocks do before they even take notice of the economy

Free money to wallstreet....no such thing as free markets. Every single fucking time they have to intervene.....this is what makes for these unicorn and fantasy like markets, they intervene causing fake market pricing. That's what we have had for the last 30years now.
will there be unlimited money for all the shorts getting wiped out as well? Does the unlimited money extend to bear & inverse etfs? Am I fucked in the head for rooting total collapse at this point just from the wanton intervention? I understand that there is massive pain at the bottom of this market but feel every move the feds make is just inviting less and less confidence in what they're doing. I thought socialism bad? What happened Donnie?
The Federal Reserve announced a bevy of new programs Monday to help with market functioning. Among the moves is an open-ended commitment to keep buying assets under its quantitative easing measures. There are multiple other programs, including one for Main Street business lending and others aimed at keeping credit flowing. Markets reversed all their overnight losses and indicated a sharply positive open.
isn't this what I already said many times.... they have learned lesson from 2008... we will never have 1929 type crash where liquid was choked off. flooding makes everyone happy.... it's not just what wall street want. it's also what main street want. people want to go back to work! people don't want 1929 type soup lines! this is again exactly what a central bank system is for! stop bashing the Fed... if we had gold standard or savings and loans there will be massive hoarding of currencies and massive bank runs then you end up a real collapse every time there is a crisis.
China's numbers already indicate a roughly 5% drag on the annual GDP.... if we use that number.. - rates already cut to zero; - unlimited QE - fiscal stimulus will soon pass to inject $2T which is 10% of the US GDP - summer will come to kill the virus anyway. what do you have left - a condition for fcking new highs!
