Dear Readers,

Perhaps this is a proof that FOMC's policy is helping those employed by the so called "borderline companies" keep their job, and perhaps even helping some of these companies to hire more help.

Many thanks to FOMC, for doing what they are mandated to do by law !!

Yours Truly,

Yes sir, the Fed is doing it's job by keeping failing companies in the game just to enable money to keep pouring into junk bonds. This is a train wreck.
