The Fed is artificially keeping interest rates low allowing idiotic stock buybacks to continue for almost no cost, keeps the cost of investor speculation cheap and they are bailing out companies that have bad non-performing loans (banks included)...

The Fed's "Rube Goldberg activity" holds up the stock market...uuuuntil it doesn't.
