In Europe the Governments there own between 45-51 percent of major companies like the utilities, or they have the final say for other big business decisions in their economies. Our FED purchased a lot of stock. It will sell that stock after driving up the price and make a huge profit on the dollar cost averaging by selling even past the point where they start to lose money - the FED is not mandated to own Stocks per say, so they will have to eventually sell off their “investments” and get the cash back - - - what will they do with the cash, e.g., will they delete it from the data bits and put it in the bit bucket, or will they let the markets tank destroying the digital bucks or will they let the new money lessen the value of the dollar in your pocket?
They bought debt, not stock.
