No impact?? Spare me! US equity markets are at record highs while economic growth continues to be soggy - no risk there. Double digit gains in residential property - didn't we re-remember property was a "real" (inflation related asset) after the crash?

The biggest impact is that returns from most assets look set to be low for a decade (with the cash hurdle rate being so low). This will impact people saving for retirement. QE is not a victimless crime!
