Your comment:In extraordinary circumstances, such as the current Covoid 19 pandemic, the Fed has
initiated Quantitative easing. This has been confined to purchasing longer term government bonds and
mortgage backed securities. Perhaps it would be more stimulative and would definitely reduce
uncertainty if the Fed were to purchase stocks that have fallen to bargain basement prices. The Fed
could anticipate a substantial return on such an investment in the longer term economic revival of
business activity and corporate profitability.
