The talk about Fed tapering is not something that needs fearing; it is a sign that economic conditions are better.
Even with the less stimulus there’re good times following for the stocks, according to David Tepper, manager of hedge fund by Appaloosa.
The investors are wallowing in the liquidity that Federal Reserve has pumped out. The balance sheet of bank now has swollen to around $3.4 trillion. Also, the asset prices inflated along with it.
The simple money policies created the environment where the good news is considered bad, and the bad news considered good as that means that easy money would keep on flowing.
