FED谨守诺言

我倒是宁愿FED慢点撤资

What Fed has been doing is, artificially create demand for MBS and push the price higher (consequently lowered the long bond rate). In another way, Fed simply inflates its own balance sheet by n-fold, and make banks' balance sheet look better.

So the logical first reaction (if Fed stopped buying MBS) will be, because of less demand, MBS price will get lower and rate will be higher, volume will be less, and yes spread may be wider.

Let's say Fed is President of a for-profit business (which is not the case). Then the goal is to maximize shareholders' value. Everything else (“谨守诺言”included) will be just means, not goals.

Fed is not for-profit businessperson, its goals are: employment rate, inflation rate, economic growth, etc. So although its own balance sheet looks ugly and nobody likes it, Fed could care less because they are not looking at it from for-profit perspective. Besides, Fed really doesn't have much choices, other than stomach it with time. Fed is no business person, not pure politician, how much does 谨守诺言 mean to them especially when 计划碰见变化?

我倒是宁愿FED慢点撤资... 造句:我倒是希望资产被加价200%被人买走。田叔叔倒是希望矮油带领红粉兵团强烈投靠。

说得好。尤其是对FED的本质: Fed is not for-profit business person. -KnowAll- 给 KnowAll 发送悄悄话 KnowAll 的博客首页 (133 bytes) () 03/23/2013 postreply 13:22:05
