I wouldn't celebrate this as an "end of the Fed" just yet, guys... something stinks. Sorry to bring the mood down, but, I can't sit quietly on this one. I'm by no means an expert, won't pretend otherwise, but this does not present to me as an end to the Fed. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury. BlackRock Inc. ey? Well, let's just say this isn't necessarily a good thing. It may lead to benefits for good people in what appears to be a temporary shifting of responsibilities, but, BlackRock Inc. being involved should send up warning flags. I've been looking at these guys for a while now, or rather, noticing them pop up time and time again in ongoing research. I'll be going into more detail about that some other time – for now, I'm just suggesting caution before celebrating from the rooftops.   Feel free to disagree with me. I'm not posting this to pick a fight, nor to concern fag – I have my reasons for not trusting BlackRock.
