If I was selling something, anything, say grains of white sand, I would want stimulus as well. At the present time a grain of sand is worth a small amount. Since sand costs about 8 bucks a ton here, to find out the value of one grain one simply weighs the single grain and calculates the worth from the per ton price.
At 8 bucks a ton, one grain is worth a fraction of a cent. Needless to say the investors are not interested in sand by the grain at that price.
Now let us apply a stimulus, say a tenth of a cent per grain.
Now my sand pit is attracting investors.
Is the sand really worth even a half cent per grain?
If the stocks are tanking and "crying" for stimulus then perhaps they are already over valued.
You are confusing stimulus with subsidy
propping up the stock market with favorable interest rates is a subsidy as well, just a different name.
The intent and the results are the same, artificially inflated value.
the point is that is not free market, and it is not sustainable.
do you understand what allowing things to fall off a cliff would have looked like?
when your house is burning you dont say "oh well let it burn I wont call the fire department".
You call the fire department adn try to save some of your shit.
You dont say "ill just live in a tent made of the neighbors sheets until I can make enough to rebuild".
