Also, how did QE1 compare with QE2, and how did the timing of QE1 coincide with the rally of the S&P 500.

Catnip, I understand what you are saying in regards to the USDX, I am just wondering what specific instruments the FED is buying and when as these will go up (against the dollar, and everything else). Primarily I trade equity and commodity futures (although some FOREX), so actually I am wondering how much of the recent move is actual FED activity vice speculation on the news. My question is where can I find detailed information on the asset purchases so I can see exactly what is going on, and moreover an analysis of the length of the buyback and when it will end, and also when would a decision likely be made to extend the program...

The Mr. Topstep video that references the FOMC meeting is herehttp://mrtopstep.com/2010/11/04/did-you-hear-the-helicopter-the-bernanke-put/ and the one that references the buying of ETFs is herehttp://mrtopstep.com/2010/11/05/bears-need-not-apply/

Hey All,

I understand that QE2 involves the purchase of different instruments and this pushes the dollar down. When I was watching the Mr. Topstep video, they speak of BOJ buying ETFs and the FOMC buying different instruments thursday then monday and next wednesday. Where are they getting these specific information regarding the buying schedule and the instruments involved? Is this because they are on the futures floor and speak with the brokers, or is this information published somewhere and I am clueless. Thanks.

-Rik
