I know that it isn't "several" but the biggest is: why would they? It isn't part of the function and purpose of the federal reserve. They have plenty to do with their primary functions of monetary control through the banking industry.
Picture two stallions discussing the relative beauties of the fillies that prance by at some riding stable. A cat walks by, why should they be interested in the cat? It is the same with the federal reserve, stocks are not their thing.

The only reason that counts is conflict of interest. Stocks are greatly influenced by the Fed. Govt should not be interested in 1 company vs another anyway.

Lets say that they invested all of the United States money on a bad stock and then lost everything, they would be broke, and they would have to go around the world begging countries like Iceland or Uraguay to loan them a few bucks. Can you imagine ?
