Let us say hypothetically the congress approves FED to buy stocks and ETF. Just curious what will they buy: s&p index, total market index or something else.

Let us say if they buy one index, will it be fair for companies who are not in the index?

They’d sooner shift from buying treasury bonds to other bonds before they’d go into equities. But what do I know. It’s be better if they went into the student loan market.
