Manipulation Mondays with Andrew Hoffman:

FOMC meeting Wednesday, "end of QE" expected.

                - maniacal PPT ops the past two weeks, to "stabilize" markets ahead of this meeting, including six Fed governors hinting at or calling for QE extension after last Wednesday's liquidity vaccuum

                - Fed will still be as dovish as imaginable, but won't have to delay ending overt QE so long as markets don't crash
