>QE3’s Ominous End Looms  - Adam Hamilton - Zealllc
Interesting article, but Mr. Hamilton I'm stuck on one point. I'm not an economist but I've seen one main reason given for why inflation didn't take off like many Gold proponents thought it would after all the Fed money printing. That reason is that the fed money is sitting in the banks as excessive reserves and was in large part not loaned out which would have caused inflation. That makes sense to me except I don't understand how QE really helps or hurts the economy if the banks just sit on the money, what's the point??

However, you say that QE "goosed the US stock markets". How is that possible if the banks are sitting on the money?

Any insight would be much appreciated since the answer makes a big difference in terms of investment planning.
