I don't understand what you mean. My argument was along the lines of:
- Fed buys bonds to keep yields low
- Inefficient businesses are then able to secure funding at lower than 'natural' rates and stay afloat
- It takes more effort than necessary to produce the goods and services society needs
- But also there are more jobs, so the mandate is met
Also, simultaneously:
- Fed buys bonds to keep yields low
- A. increases the quantity of savings=investment dollars demanding a return
- B. lowers denominator in DCF valuations
- A & B apply dual pressure causing financial assets grow in price disproportionate to the amount of products & services provided to society (measured in cash flows)
- people who get paid a salary get priced out of economic ownership
- people who already hold claims on cash flows get "wealthier on paper" even though goods & services for society have not increased
Am I missing something? Because these arguments seem to me to explain, in pretty simple terms,the world as I observe it.
