From the page: "The Federal Reserve, big major banks, representatives of the New York Stock Exchange and the other exchanges have an informal agreement to come in and start to buy stock if there appears to be a problem. They acted more formally in 1998, during the Long term Capital Crisis, and propped up the currency markets. And, they have plans in place if the markets start to fall."
On August 8th, 2007, President Bush hinted at government intervention in the US stock market. "Treasury secretary Paulson and his advisors are paying close attention, as the market begins to readjust its assessment of risks and are watchful for any downturn," he said. "There is a lot of liquidity in our system and liquidity will provide the capacity for our system to adjust," Bush added, alluding to the Fed's tolerance of double digit M3 money supply growth."
