Re: Central Banks Interference...

The Fed has only two mandates:

1. Control the money supply. (increases in money supply can result in increases in prices-inflation is however defined as an increase in the supply of money)

2. Unemployment

The Fed's job is not to rigg the stock market.

If there is a buyer for every seller, than that means somebody (ies) has been doing very well as the market goes down. Why should their gain be targeted because Ma & Pa are dumb enough to only purchase long only mutual funds?
