Macroeconomic stuff

Since 3/15/2020 total FOMC Quantitative Easing (+$8,970,000,000,000) + Congress Stimulus (+$4,500,000,000,000). Now, in 2022 FOMC Quantitative tightening started (-$95,000,000,000/month) & Congress stopped stimulus in mid 2021. This equals a macroeconomic liquidity event on the way up and on the way down.
