the spigots somewhat. alison kosik is it joining me. this is what investors have been worried about because the market has been drunk. trying to figure out what the fed is going to do. try $3.8 million and the programs began in november 2008 and losing $775,000 and the whole point in this stimulus was the economy. move more money into the economy. why is interest rate so small with qe 1. qe 3 is insane. how did they come to this decision on how much? you have the fed testing the waters into how much they thought that the economy needed to get it sort of moving again and the latest was this $85 billion a month that is pouring into the market.
