Hello, As the Fed is a private organisation, it's aim is profit ? So how can a private investor, trader buy shares ? ( as you can do with the SWISS NATIONAL BANK )
I recall from a video on utube that the stock holders are secret but I can't confirm that. Hope you get a good answer. Great question.
According to BS Bernanke... certain of the Fed's dealings MUST NOT BE DISCLOSED. If we knew who benefited from their actions or to whom they've lent lots of money and/or bailed out, "we [US citizens] would be really pissed"... therefore, info about the Fed must remain secret... for our own good, you know...
I don't care of the story of the bailout. That's true HARDCORE BULLSHIT... Why last years I couldn't buy shares of the FED... or the year earlier... WHY ?
ahahahah... that's stupid. Share can't be named to an individual ???... Because if he die his child will not be able to receive it... Thusfar their right are transferable... and so tradeable !
