Great weekend reading (even though the article was published during the week) from the excellent Mark Dow. He hits on sensitive points guaranteed to upset a few constantly parroted fixed views:

  • The Fed does not control the money supply.
  • QE is not “pumping cash into the stock market”.
  • QE has not created hyperinflation, and there is no conspiracy to understate the inflation rate.
  • QE is not the reason we have high oil/gasoline prices.
  • QE has not debased the dollar.

Everything you think you know about the Fed is wrong
