  • If the whole idea of Quantitative Easing is confusing to you, you are not alone. Paddy Hirsch breaks it down in this economic explainer.

    To understand QE it's important to understand that it essentially entails the Fed buying bonds to keep interest rates down, encourage lending and stimulate the economy.
    #QuantitativeEasing #Whiteboard #MarketplaceAPM
    If the Fed does reduce bond buying short-term interest rates will likely rise. But the Fed doesn’t want the public to think that the Fed is raising the official interest rate. This is really difficult for the Fed because the point of bond buying is to keep interest rates low. Therefore it's logical that by buying fewer bonds the interest rates would go up.

    This is BY FAR the best explanation of quantitative easing I've found. It also explained why it's so risky, since the government is just eating "risky assets" like a debt collector. Long-term it can't be a solution, since the entropy (cost of risky assets vs value recovered) will eventually force a collapse.

It's hard to understand how comes that living in a era of advance technology Humans still can't communicate properly. With no TRUST any transaction or relationship is pointless and as a result too risky. This is when a holistic and functional finance approach could end the chaos. No wonder why wall street traders end up like Buddhist monks. We must accept that the best options are to introduce a more holistic approach in finance to generate TRUST, we could start by ending economy colonialism, imperial WARS, and aggressive interventions with iligal economic sanctions to other nations that are trying to fix their own problems without the piracy threats. NO MORE WARS - NO MORE IMPERIAL COLONIALISM - NO MORE WILD CAPITALISM - NO MORE DENIAL!!!! WE MUST INVEST IN ****TRUST***** AS IN THE WARRANTY AND SECURITY THAT NO ONE ELSE IS A THREAT TO OTHERS. NO MORE PSYCHOPATHS DREAMING WITH THE DOMINATION AND THE ONE WORLD ORDER. NO MORE SECRETIVE SOCIETIES. NO MORE TAX HEAVENS. NO MORE SPIDER WEBS.

    Good video. The only issue here and it is a glaring one is of the topic of bond prices. You'd think the ultra low yields would decrease their demand but in the recent years that has not been the case. So much so that the yield to maturity on a lot of sovereign bonds is now negative. Bond prices go up as yields decrease and theoretically speaking the price of a bond can increase much further than the zero or even much more negative yields possible.

    @mikejadoti actually if you want to get technical about it, the federal reserve isn't one bank at all, but a highly hybridized system consisting of classical government body (board of governors), twelve reserve banks (public-private hybrid), several private banks, and a few more details. The government body determines how much money the reserve banks can create, and the profit of those reserve banks is owned by the government. Yes, there are private components, but not quite how you imagine.

  • @HurricaneDane
    @HurricaneDane 13 років тому

    A great explanation of the theory behind QE, however, the reality is that the US has so much debt that an increase in interest rates means that the amount of debt owed will increase dramatically. By pumping money into the economy, the fed can keep those interest rates low, meaning we won't incur more debt through interest.
    (But that doesn't really matter because our daily deficit is so high that the debt is increasing anyway.)
