Socialization of the US Markets Accelerates with the Fed's latest tool the TSLF!

TAF gets tougher as it is now supplemented with the Term Securities Lending Facility or TSLF- the latest instrument which allows the Federal Reserve to lend up to $200 billion and accept as collateral- agency and private residential securities or "non-agency AAA/Aaa-rated private-label residential MBS"!!! You read it right-garbage papers!

You can read more from Bloomberg the updates including the Fed’s Text on the novel “bridge” financing.
