QE Responsible for at least 1/3 of the Dow's current value

[Thomasj_tx]

Just watched a panel of experts on CNBC and they all agree that QE is responsible for at least one third of the Dow's current value.  They demonstrated how the fundamentals (PE's, earnings, revenue growth, etc) show that fair value for the Dow and S&P 500 is about 1/3 less than it is today based on historical norms.  Artificially low interest rates have pushed investors and traders alike, world wide, to move into the equities markets where they normally would be in the bond markets.
 
About half of all US Treasuries are being bought by the Fed, about a quarter by China and the rest by everyone else.  If the Fed stops buying half of all US Treasuries, there will be no one to step into their place and interest rates will skyrocket.  It is just supply and demand.
 
All predict that if and when QE is eased or ended, the equities markets will fall significantly.

Remember a few months ago when the fed said they may start easing up on printing money, the market took a dive...

Not true on two accounts.

In my estimation the markets are grossly over valued just as they were before the Great Tech Bust, only this time its across the board.

How much has it gone up after the REAL war criminal, LBJ left office?


How about the war criminal Truman?
