How The Federal Reserve Is Monetizing Debt

How much agency debt remains out there? Is there more than enough to outlast the current economic trouble? If not, what happens when Ben has bought is all? Net imports have shrunk, sending fewer dollars overseas each month to fuel foreign investment in treasuries. Could this become a problem?

Just wondering.

Key Factors Driving the Market

Can someone explain this "sideline" money to me. Every time a stock is sold, an equal amount of money is exchanged. For every dollar going to the sidelines via a sale, a dollar must come from the sideline via a purchase.

I can understand money flowing from bonds to stocks, or cash being added to workers 401k's each month or companies purchasing their own stock.

What am I missing? What is meant by "sideline" money?
