from Zero Hedge:
As always, Goldman Corzined anyone who
listened to its call that an epic QE is coming. Fed did the worst
possible outcome for risk- merely extended Twist, just as the credit market predicted it would 3 weeks ago:
- FED SAYS IT IS PREPARED TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION `AS APPROPRIATE
- FED TWIST EXTENSION TO SWAP $267 BLN OF TREASURIES BY END 2012
- FED TO SELL OR REDEEM `EQUAL AMOUNT' DEBT DUE 3 YEARS OR LESS
- FED TO BUY TREASURIES DUE IN 6 TO 30 YEARS AT `CURRENT PACE'
- FED SAYS EMPLOYMENT GROWTH `HAS SLOWED'
- FED SAYS INFLATION HAS DECLINED, REFLECTING OIL
- FED REITERATES ECONOMY `EXPANDING MODERATELY'
- LACKER DISSENTS FROM FOMC DECISION
