| Jun 26, 2019 at 10:02 | comment | added | MD-Tech | the bad news: you'd have to look in the central bank's arcane and impenetrable accounts. the good news: I'm having a pint with one of the former accountants at the Bank of England so I can simply ask. I'll let you know after my conversation. BTW a lot of people misunderstand QE! | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 10:00 | comment | added | coiso | I do need to do deeper research on this, I heard recently, maybe in a documentary someone say that QE is buying subprime bonds. Could be wrong. Does anyone know of a way of finding what QE is being used to buy? | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 9:50 | comment | added | MD-Tech | QE usually buys government bonds ( investopedia.com/terms/q/quantitative-easing.asp ), are you suggesting that they are crap? I'm not aware of any country that has needed QE defaulting on their bonds in recent times and I think QE would be unnecessary in a country that is likely to default. | |
