Ben Bernanke Assets Quotations

There is enormous demand for dollar denominated assets so I don't expect that this demand would drop precipitously.

Imperfect substitutability of assets implies that changes in the supplies of various assets available to private investors may affect the prices and yields of those assets.

I don't think that Chinese ownership of U.S. assets is so large as to put our country at risk economically.

Certainly there is no way to direct the effects of monetary policy at a single class of assets while leaving other financial markets and the broader economy untouched. One might as well try to perform brain surgery with a sledgehammer.
