Quantitative Easing

Written by 

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced the purchase of 300 billion dollars in bonds.
This is called Quantitative Easing.
Why did the FED do that?
Here is a practical and easy explanation provided by the Fincial Times. I thought it was cute.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Starting January 30, 2012, I decided to put the random (economic) thoughts that I was posting on Facebook, in a blog. In this site you will be able to read all Facebook notes going back to 2008, (without my Friend’s comments, unfortunately), but we will only maintain the new thoughts. If you want to check out the old comments, they are still posted on Facebook. If you want to comment on them, you have two options (1) Become a Facebook Subscriber. Since all the posts will also appear in Facebook, you will be able to comment there. (2) Comment on Twitter, as each post will also be announced in Twitter.
