The Balance sheet of the Federal Reserve System, the Fed, is now over $7 trillion and this is helping the stock market with the Nasdaq $NSDQ100 at all time high and the S&P 500 $SPX500 positive YTD even in the middle of a big recession. But the Fed printing money is bad for stocks over the long-term.
The Fed was only founded in 1913 with a dual mandate, keep inflation low and unemployment rate low by controlling the interest rate.
