Your headline is mis-leading. Whilst a bubble & market stability are mutually inclusive, any stability the FED gives as a result of the bubble bursting, will again go to bailing out the hedge funds and companies with assets whilst joe bloggs will continue to loose out and suffer.

The federal reserve is following Trump and making the rich richer . It is time to end this BS

the fed are a bunch of snake oil salesmen who always last to know what is really going on. the bubble is more about lack of hft regulation and don't expect much from the us SEC

No they don't because they think everyone is stupid . Maybe right about some probably are .
