The Federal Reserve balance sheet explained

Bond buying (and selling) is one of the primary tactics the Fed uses to influence the broader economy. The Fed balance sheet is basically an accounting of these activities. It provides analysts and investors some insight into the scale of the Fed's actions.

Well it looks like I'm about 2yrs late but thank you for the education. I haven't checked your other videos out but I'm going to now. Thanks for making this such an easy to understand concept when I know the details of it get quite complicated.

[@TedErhartCFP]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jeninabuhijelh699]

Thank you for making studying easier for me

[@TedErhartCFP]

Glad it was helpful! This is a very abstract concept and creating the video even helped me understand it better.

[@jimmydurante8546]

Well I just subscribed to this gentleman's channel, wonderful explanation without all of the doom and gloom nonsense that everyone else on youtube throws at you.

[@sirinath]

Many thanks for this video.

[@Hydroxica]

People will look back on this event like we do the Great Depression and be in awe with how The Fed navigated this with relatively minimal impact.

[@TedErhartCFP]

The story is pretty amazing. I really enjoyed the book "Trillion Dollar Triage" which details what was going on inside the Fed during March of 2020. Even now, the public has almost no idea how bad the situation was. The entire financial system was on the brink of collapse. Powell and the Fed board deserve a lot of credit for taking decisive action IMO.

[@Juinor]

Thank you...this is awesome.

Great vid.

[@bryantcofty2709]

Where can I find this table on the Fed's website or online in general? I'm being advised to keep an eye on the Fed's liquidity movement as one of the key variables to track the current Bitcoin price trend.

[@lhistoirenimp4537]

Thanks a lot, very good video!! I have a question. You talk mostly about the asset side. But what about the liability side? Part of it is composed of the creation of money but most of it is bank deposits. And bank deposits was nothing in proportion before 2008 and got to 800billions from nothing in 2008 in comparison to 100 billion increase in money creation. Would you know how the fed could get these 800billiions? Which banks had deposits to give during the crisis?? It makes no sense to me.

[@jeffreyoverberg8048]

Nice job.

[@frostychaos]

Great video and explanation, just subscribed to your channel. I have a question though, you are referring to the chart in trillions of dollars but the chart says assets in millions, what am I missing?

[@TedErhartCFP]

It's a little tough to explain via text. But if you go to the chart Fed's chart at www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttrends.htm and hover your cursor over it, that should answer your question.

[@frostychaos]

@@TedErhartCFP Thank you
