So the Federal Reserve threw investors for a loop with talk of quantitative easing programs ending sooner than expected. The dollar surged higher, gold collapsed, stocks sold off by triple digits \u2026 this was a big deal all around.<\/p>\n

But what exactly lies in store for investors going forward now that the headlines have hit?<\/p>\n

Charles Sizemore of\u00a0Sizemore Capital Management<\/a>\u00a0talked with me for a bit in this latest podcast about what investors can expect. In a nutshell, Charles doesn\u2019t think that it is anything more than a short-term headwind because there\u2019s still little action on the part of Ben Bernanke & Co. \u2026 even if the discussion has taken a slightly more hawkish tone.<\/p>\n

Much ado is being made of the statement that the \u201crisks of asset purchases might well lead the Committee to taper or end its purchases before it judged that a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market had occurred.\u201d However, without some true hawkish action, it\u2019s not going to mean much.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
