One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity.

The underlying strategy of the Fed is to tell people, "Do you want your money to lose value in the bank, or do you want to put it in the stock market?" They're trying to push money into the stock market, into hedge funds, to temporarily bid up prices.

So it's a pro-Wall Street financial engineering gimmick.
