$40B FED Buying Spree Kicks Off QE’s Return – REAL SHOCK Comes Next

Taylor Kenney - ITM Trading Dec 15, 2025

The Fed just launched a $40B QE-style operation, quietly reigniting the money printer. Here’s why it threatens your savings, retirement, and dollar value.

$40 Billion This Month — But It Won’t Stop There

The Fed claims it will begin by purchasing $40 billion in Treasury bills just for December. But as always, the real story is in the fine print:

  • Purchases will remain elevated for “some time.”
  • Reduction only occurs if market conditions allow it.

Translation? This is an open-ended commitment. The same kind of slippery slope we saw in 2008 and 2020—but without the honesty.

Why the subterfuge? Because if Americans truly understood that the Fed is creating money from nothing to buy government debt, confidence in the dollar would evaporate overnight.

Why the Shift to Short-Term Debt Matters

Let’s unpack the structural shift that’s setting off alarm bells.

Traditionally, the U.S. financed its deficits with long-term debt (bonds). But now, the Treasury is leaning heavily on short-term instruments (T-bills) to stay afloat. Here’s why that’s dangerous:

  • Short-term debt must be constantly refinanced, exposing us to rollover risk.
  • Foreign buyers are backing away from U.S. debt due to inflation, currency risk, and geopolitical uncertainty.
  • Higher yields = more expensive debt, pushing the U.S. closer to an interest crisis.

With fewer willing buyers, the Fed is stepping in as the buyer of last resort—just like it did during past crises. Only this time, the system is already fragile from years of policy missteps.

Don’t Be Fooled: This Is Money Creation

This isn’t about moving cash from one account to another. This is the literal creation of new dollars out of thin air:

  • The Fed buys T-bills from big banks like JPMorgan.
  • In exchange, it credits those banks with newly created reserves.
  • Billions in new liquidity enter the system—instantly.

They can dress it up however they like. Whether it’s done via a digital keystroke or an actual printing press, injecting new funds into the economy is QE. And QE always has downstream consequences.

The Two Massive Red Flags You Can’t Ignore

  1. This Signals a Hidden Liquidity Crisis
    Banks are hoarding liquidity and hiding unrealized losses. Money market funds are frozen. Assets aren’t being sold because doing so would reveal just how weak the balance sheets really are.
  2. It Guarantees More Inflation
    Every dollar created dilutes the value of the dollars you already hold. This isn’t a theory—it’s history:
  • Savings shrink
  • Real wages decline
  • Retirement accounts underperform

Yes, some cheer QE because stocks may rise. But ask yourself: what good is a 10% portfolio gain if inflation wipes out 20% of your purchasing power?

This is how you quietly lose your wealth.

Why Physical Gold and Silver Are Crucial Now

In every fiat currency crisis, from Weimar Germany to modern Argentina, one truth stands: gold and silver preserve wealth while currencies collapse.

  • Tangible assets like gold and silver can’t be printed.
  • They are outside the banking system and immune to QE.
  • They historically act as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.

Right now, we are witnessing the early stages of a monetary regime shift. And the only question is: Will you be prepared?

The Writing Is on the Wall

The Fed has begun QE again—they just won’t call it that. This is a glaring signal that:

  • The system is unstable
  • The debt crisis is accelerating
  • And the value of your dollars is at serious risk

Protecting yourself now isn’t optional—it’s essential.
