As we look toward 2026, the pattern becomes increasingly clear: the Fed will likely maintain its liquidity injection strategy to stabilize the financial system. The core issue is that major banks have taken on excessive leverage through derivatives and speculative positions—essentially a structural gambling problem embedded in the system. When stress events emerge, the central bank steps in with emergency liquidity measures, printing money to prop up institutions deemed too-big-to-fail. This creates a moral hazard loop: risky behavior gets rewarded with bailouts, encouraging even more aggressive positioning. The question isn't whether the Fed will act, but how long this cycle can sustain before the costs of continuous money printing become unsustainable for the broader economy.

Here we go again with this? The Fed printing money to rescue the market really never gets old.

Basically, it's endless money printing. Banks play with leverage until they explode, and the Federal Reserve comes to rescue. How long will this cycle go on?

The printing press will never stop; they rely on this to survive.

Basically, it's just printing money endlessly. The big banks keep gambling, the Federal Reserve keeps bailing out, and we keep getting cut.

Ah, here we go again with the same old story... Data shows that the Fed's intervention cycles over the past 40 years average 7.3 months, but the moral hazard costs are skyrocketing exponentially.
Bank leverage ratios are truly outrageous. I took a look at the scale of derivatives after 2008, and the increase is actually three times the GDP... I wouldn't be surprised if this thing blows up someday.
Can printing money long-term really solve the problem? It seems like just betting on the next crisis coming late enough.
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is still the safest way to invest; at least you don't have to gamble on the central bank's mood.

Basically, the central bank keeps printing money to rescue the market, big banks continue to gamble, and we keep getting squeezed out.

Bankers gamble, and we foot the bill. The Federal Reserve's printing press is about to start up again—amazing!
