Manipulation of the market never comes for free.

You just delay, and render unpredictable, the eventual reckoning, for short-term benefits.

It will be interesting to see who’s gonna blame the free market when that day arrives.

Manipulating the market is literally the job of both the Treasury and the FOMC. It’s how we enact monetary policy.
