| 0:02.5 | So back in 2008, we experienced a massive financial crash in the global economy. |
| 0:08.0 | In an effort to prevent a total economic meltdown, the United States government approved the |
| 0:12.8 | bailout of numerous banks and key structural businesses to keep the economy afloat. |
| 0:17.3 | During this time, the US Federal Reserve implemented an idea called quantitative easing. |
| 0:22.4 | And quantitative easing became so popular that other central banks around the world also joined |
| 0:27.6 | in on this technique. And it became a sought after tool to fix a sinking stock market. |
| 0:32.2 | So fast forward to today, and we still have some organizations like the European Central Bank |

| 1:17.0 | manage billion dollar portfolios. And he does this pretty much on a daily basis. So whenever you |
| 1:21.9 | hear this interview, I think you're going to be really impressed with how smart Grant is. We've |
| 1:25.6 | had him on the show before and every time we bring him on, we get such great feedback from our |
| 1:29.9 | audience. So in this episode, you'll learn quantitative easing is and how it works. But perhaps |
| 1:35.6 | more importantly, what will happen to the economy if the Fed decides to unwind the $4 trillion balance |
| 1:41.8 | sheet that accumulated over the past decade. So if you're ready, let's go ahead and do this. |
