<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1452902, member: 26302&quot;]I accepted the fact central banks lease, that is fine. But you feel some fundamental need to assign nefarious motives to it. Ok, I will restate. If I am a central bank and have a load of non-income producing junk cluttering my safes, why wouldn&#039;t I try to profit from it? Loaning it out to trusted parties, (so I can be assured of getting it back), that pays me money, (or more junk), is a profit for me. If I believe the junk is going down in price next month by 10%, then I am smart to lease it out at -3%, and let the borrower take the hit for the other 7% loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see not one thing nefarious in central banks leasing out their junk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
