<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1413862, member: 3011&quot;]Operation Twist doesn&#039;t really do anything for the banking sector, and it doesn&#039;t increase the money supply.&nbsp; The high frequency trading is just a continuation of a long term trend by institutions, and in my opinion makes it easier for individual investors.&nbsp; I believe the $16T represented loan guarantees and repos -- not injections of capital, so there is nothing to be repaid.&nbsp; It was just a mechanism to make sure the markets continued to clear.&nbsp; Now, none of this is particularly desirable, but it doesn&#039;t represent some sort of fatal flaw in the system either.&nbsp; I think higher interest rates would be more tolerable to the system than the Fed thinks, but my opinion doesn&#039;t count.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
