The Fed Train is on a Roll
The Federal Reserve is not kidding when they say that they are going to do everything within their power to help the economy recover and stabilize pricing.
The latest move as highlighted in the NY Times stated:
WASHINGTON ” Saying that the recession continues to deepen, the Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it would pump an extra $1 trillion into the mortgage market and longer-term Treasury securities in order to revive the economy.
If the Federal Reserve keeps up its attach on the recession the days until we start to see a recovery will come sooner than many economists predicted.
In September 2008 the Central Bank had $900 billion on its balance sheet and now we are nearly $2 trillion which shows the world how serious the Federal Reserve is about getting the economy back on track.
More from the NY Times:
Fed officials have said they hope to expand the program next month, possibly to include the huge market for commercial mortgages, and both the Fed and Treasury hope the program will eventually provide up to $1 trillion in total financing.
Okay, there is more money availableso what is the big deal? The Big Deal is that now there is more funding available for lenders to do more loans to residential as well as corporate clients including small business.
The biggest problem is though who will go first? Someone has to start buying but if they do not have the income to do this, what are they going to pay for the purchases with? If you go to the furniture store and buy a new couch, and do not have a job how will you pay for it? Sure the store may be able to process your order, pay its staff, order from their supplier who in turn orders the raw materials to make the couch, but at the end of the day if you can not pay for it, then no one gets paid.
The start of the chain has to be with the US and Canadian Governments to start buying and starting the order process with all sectors ” small, medium and large businesses. Then these companies will hire people who will then buy stuff, which will then put more people to work and so on
Since we are seeing such bold moves on the available funds, I am certain they are gearing up to do just that. Get the money ready and then start buying.
Next problem will be for companies to have the available funds needed to fill these orders. Even with the funds being available, most companies will not be able to get bank financing due to their financial performance over the last couple of years.
Now is the time to sit down with a Professional Commercial Finance Broker as they will have far more financial products available to them than the banks have so you can actually accept the orders that come in and be able to produce them.
You will see a marked rise in the use of Accounts Receivable Factoring and Purchase Order Finance. This type of financing has been on the rise over the last 10 years of so, but it will now play an increased role in our immediate economy so it will not be a bad idea to get set up for it so you are not scrambling to find a funder.
